Lyrics
Such a shame
Expressing regret or disappointment about a situation.
Everything you build yourself up to become
Reflecting on personal growth and achievements.
Only to bring yourself crashing down.
Highlighting a self-destructive tendency after reaching a peak.
And for what, really?
Raising the question of the purpose or motivation behind the downfall.
For what?
Repeating the question for emphasis, seeking clarity on the reasons.
Such a shame
Reiterating the feeling of disappointment or disapproval.
Oh what a shame it is to see
Expressing sorrow or disappointment over a personal transformation.
What has become of me
Reflecting on the negative changes in the speaker's identity.
I was a queen, a temptress
Recalling a time of power and allure in the speaker's life.
Now at your feet in my duress
Describing a current state of vulnerability and submission.
Just a shadow, a passing flame
Portraying a diminished presence, likened to a fleeting fire.
Once a furnace you could not tame
Recalling a past resilience or untamed spirit that has waned.
Oh what a shame
Reiterating the sense of regret or disappointment.
I was the storm called by name
Recalling a time of strength and prominence.
I was the light in the sky
Describing a previous role as a guiding or illuminating force.
But now I'm torn, oh what a shame
Expressing a state of internal conflict or emotional turmoil.
Just look where I lie
Illustrating a current fallen or diminished position.
I was the storm called by name
Repeating the idea of past strength and recognition.
I was the light in the sky
Reiterating the past role as a source of brightness or inspiration.
But now I'm torn, oh what a shame
Expressing ongoing distress or regret over the current state.
Oh what a shame
Reiterating the overall sentiment of regret or disappointment.
Everything you build yourself up to become
Echoing the theme of personal development and its consequences.
Only to bring yourself crashing down
Emphasizing the recurring pattern of self-induced downfall.
