Shame
Shame: A Haunting Tale of Love's Destructive Power
Lyrics
She's my shade
She represents a protective cover or refuge for the speaker.
In the light
Even in brightness or positivity, she provides comfort or support.
She makes everything
Her presence improves the speaker's emotional state.
Alright
Overall, things seem fine due to her influence.
When your here
The speaker expresses a desire to be close when she's present.
I'll Hold you near
The intention to hold her close is expressed.
But my grip
The speaker's attempt to hold on is overly forceful or controlling.
Is too tight
The grip is too strong, potentially suffocating or restrictive.
I hope it makes you happy
The speaker hopes her actions bring happiness despite their effect on him.
The way that
Her actions negatively impact the speaker's well-being.
You ruin
The speaker's suffering due to her behavior is emphasized.
Me
The speaker's anguish or pain is directly attributed to her actions.
I hope it makes you happy
The repetition emphasizes the hope that her actions bring happiness despite his suffering.
I hope it makes you happy
Reiteration of the wish for her actions to result in happiness.
She's my shame
She embodies something shameful for the speaker.
And she lies
She deceives or misleads in some way.
And she's perfect
She outwardly appears flawless but internally suffers.
But she's broken inside
Despite her outward perfection, she is internally damaged or hurting.
And I wait
The speaker anticipates her return regularly.
Every night
There's an expectation or longing for her presence each night.
For her to crawl back into my life
Waiting for her to re-enter the speaker's life is highlighted.
I hope it makes you happy
Similar to lines 10, 11, 12, and 13, the speaker wishes for her actions to bring her happiness despite his suffering.
The way that
Reiteration of the impact of her actions causing harm to the speaker.
You ruin
The speaker's pain caused by her behavior is emphasized once more.
Me
The suffering directly linked to her actions is reiterated.
I hope it makes you happy
The hope that her actions bring her happiness despite the speaker's pain is repeated.
I hope it makes you happy
Reiteration of the desire for her actions to result in happiness, despite the speaker's anguish.
