The Shame
Shattered Hearts in the Pouring Rain: Unveiling the Meaning of 'The Shame'
Lyrics
I am the one who saw it when, you threw stones and I layed playing dead,
The speaker witnessed someone throwing stones at them and pretended to be dead in response.
With the racing heart of a teenage kid,
Feeling intense fear or anxiety, akin to the emotions of a young teenager.
How do I feel? like you'd know,
Questioning how the speaker feels, doubting if the listener truly understands.
It doesn't take the brightest mind to see, to see,
Expressing that recognizing the pain doesn't require exceptional intelligence.
You've broken my heart, you've broken my heart
Repetition emphasizing the severe emotional damage caused.
No no no no,
Emphatic denial or rejection.
It's the shame shame shame
Calling attention to the feeling of shame experienced.
I'm kiddin myself as I'm standing here in the pouring rain
The speaker acknowledges self-delusion while enduring difficult circumstances.
And it won't won't won't
Emphasizing the impossibility of returning to how things were.
Be the same same same
Accepting that things have changed irreversibly.
I'm kiddin myself as I'm standing here in the pouring rain
Reiterating self-deception amidst distressing conditions.
This city slept through the dark bright blue eyes,
A description of the city witnessing events through someone's eyes.
They stole a lonely heart,
Indicating someone's heart being stolen or hurt.
It doesn't take the brightest mind to see, to see,
Repeating the idea that recognizing the emotional pain is evident.
You've broken my heart, you've broken my heart
Repeated emphasis on the profound heartbreak experienced.
No no no no,
Further expression of denial or refusal.
It's the shame shame shame
Reiterating the feeling of shame being experienced.
I'm kiddin myself as I'm standing here in the pouring rain
Acknowledging self-deception while enduring hardships (repeated).
And it won't won't won't
Stating the impossibility of returning to the previous state (repeated).
Be the same same same
Acceptance of the irreversible change (repeated).
I'm kiddin myself as I'm standing here in the pouring rain
Reiterating self-deception amidst distressing conditions (repeated).
