Shame
Love's Struggle Unveiled: Quinn DeVeaux's 'Shame' Revealed
Lyrics
Ah girl it’s a shame
Expressing regret or disappointment about a situation involving a girl.
Ah girl it’s a shame
Reiteration of the regret or disappointment regarding the same situation.
You got me inside your home darling
The singer is inside the girl's home.
Poured me a glass
The girl offers the singer a drink.
You said I could stay as long as I didn’t relax
The girl sets a condition for the singer to stay without relaxing.
And I had a dream that night
The singer has a dream about the girl alone on a hill with a fire around her, portraying a calm and still demeanor.
You alone on a hill
Describes the girl alone on a hill in the dream.
The fire was raging round you
In the dream, there is a fire around the girl.
And you were calm and still
Despite the fire, the girl remains calm and still.
Ah girl it’s a shame
Reiteration of the initial sentiment of regret or disappointment.
Ah girl it’s a shame
Continued expression of regret or disappointment.
You make up a rule then darling
The girl establishes a rule, but it is broken.
Its broke by the day
Emphasizes the breaking of the rule on a daily basis.
You said we should talk it over
The girl suggests discussing the issue, but she walks away.
And then you walk away
Highlighting the girl's actions of walking away after proposing a conversation.
It’s a shame girl your love is
Acknowledgment of the joy the girl's love brings to the singer's heart.
Such a joy to my heart
Despite the joy, the singer points out the mistreatment that could lead to separation.
But the way you mistreat me
Elaborates on the negative impact of the mistreatment on their relationship.
Will tear us apart
Expresses the inevitability of a rift due to the girl's mistreatment.
Ah girl it’s a shame
Repetition of the initial expression of regret or disappointment.
Ah girl it’s a shame
Continued expression of regret or disappointment.
Ah girl it’s a shame
Reiteration of the disappointment or regret.
Ah girl it’s a shame
Repetition of the regretful sentiment.
It’s a shame girl your love is
Restating the joy the girl's love brings, despite the accompanying shame.
It’s a shame girl your love is…
Concluding the acknowledgment of the shame associated with the girl's love.
