Shame
Exploring Existential Chaos: Big Black Delta's "Shame
Lyrics
Everyone's trying to sell me drugs
Perception of pressure to engage in drug use from others.
I'm just like you, but lazy
Identifying with the listener but expressing laziness.
What if I am the normal one?
Questioning the speaker's own normalcy.
What if everyone else is crazy?
Suggesting the possibility that others are irrational or crazy.
All these people
Observing a multitude of people.
All these problems
Highlighting widespread issues or challenges.
Oh my gosh
Expressing surprise or concern.
Oh my darlin
Addressing a loved one with an endearing term.
All my friends teeth are turning gold
Noticing a change in appearance among friends.
But I'm the only one that's smiling
The speaker remains positive despite challenges.
I don't really know what else I could say
Uncertain about what more can be said.
But I don't even know anything anyway
Expressing a lack of knowledge in general.
I don't really know where I went wrong
Reflecting on a personal error or mistake.
Banging on my head but I'm already numb
Physical or emotional pain, possibly desensitized.
It's a shame (shame)
Labeling a situation or feeling as shameful.
Shame (shame)
Reiterating the theme of shame.
No face (no face)
Referencing the absence of a recognizable identity.
No name (no name)
Emphasizing the lack of a known name.
Ok paper mache
Introducing a surreal or unconventional element.
Party time skulls
Describing a festive atmosphere with skull imagery.
Committing treason for no reason
Suggesting engagement in actions without a clear purpose.
I think I just joined a new cult
Joining a group with unconventional beliefs or practices.
I'm not tough enough
Admitting vulnerability or lack of resilience.
I'm not punk enough
Expressing a perceived inadequacy in punk culture.
I got too much love
Having an excess of love.
I got too much stuff
Owning more possessions than needed.
Useless conversation
Dismissing conversations as unproductive.
I don't really know what else I could say
Reiteration of uncertainty in communication.
But I don't even know anything anyway
Emphasizing a lack of knowledge and understanding.
I don't really know where I went wrong
Reflecting on a personal mistake or misjudgment.
Banging on my head but I'm already numb
Continuing to experience pain or distress.
It's a shame (shame)
Reiterating the theme of shame.
Shame (shame)
Emphasizing the emotion of shame.
No face (no face)
Reinforcing the lack of a recognizable identity.
No name (no name)
Stressing the absence of a known name.
It's a shame (shame)
