Hang Your Head In Shame
Regret's Melody: Hang Your Head in Shame with Ray Charles
Lyrics
Oh, hang your head in shame
Expressing disapproval and disappointment, suggesting that the person should feel ashamed.
Oh, don't your conscience ever bother you
Questioning the person's conscience and moral awareness, wondering if they ever feel guilty.
Every time you hear my name
Implying emotional impact on the speaker whenever the person hears their name.
Well, try and think of all that I've gone through
Encouraging the person to reflect on the speaker's struggles and challenges.
And then you hang your head in shame
Reiterating the idea of feeling shame, emphasizing the need for self-reflection.
Someone came along and took my place
Noting that someone else took the speaker's place, highlighting a betrayal or replacement.
Then you gave me all the blame
Attributing blame to the speaker for the situation, possibly unfairly.
Well, you should go somewhere and hide your face
Suggesting that the person should face the consequences and hide due to their actions.
And then hang your head in shame
Reiterating the call for the person to feel shame as a result of their actions.
When you said I was the only one
Recalling a past statement of exclusivity and questioning its sincerity as a game.
Was it just your little game?
Challenging the authenticity of the person's feelings, implying manipulation.
Now look back on all the harm you've done
Reflecting on the negative consequences and harm caused by the person's actions.
And then you can hang your head in shame
Reiterating the call for the person to feel shame in light of the harm inflicted.
I should hate you but I love you still
Expressing conflicting emotions—love despite the hurt, acknowledging the enduring flame.
In my heart I kept the flame
Acknowledging the emotional impact, symbolized by keeping a flame alive in the heart.
Oh, you'll be sorry, darling, yes you will, will
Predicting regret for the person in the future, emphasizing the inevitability of remorse.
And you gonna hang your head in shame
Stating that the person will eventually feel shame for their actions.
And hang your head in shame
Reiterating the idea of hanging one's head in shame as a consequence.
