Shame
Breaking Free from the Chains of Guilt and Shame
Lyrics
This pattern of attack is circular
This repetitive cycle of attack is circular in nature.
It knows no bounds in repetition
It continues without limits, repeating consistently.
Like a plastic superstition
Similar to a baseless belief, like a plastic superstition.
This is fake, this is fake
Stating that a situation or feeling is not genuine.
But I'd believe it to my grave
Despite recognizing its falsehood, the speaker would believe it strongly.
Unless I quiet down the voices of
Expressing the need to silence internal voices.
The two habits that I just can't break
Referring to persistent habits that are hard to break.
This is fake, this is fake
Reiterating the artificial nature of a situation or emotion.
But I'd believe it to my grave
Despite its falseness, the speaker would believe it strongly.
I don't wanna live my life with guilt and shame
Expressing a desire not to live with the burden of guilt and shame.
Still they creep in even when I'm not to blame
Despite efforts, these emotions enter even when not at fault.
I don't know why these emotions can't be tamed
Expressing confusion about uncontrollable emotions.
I wish I knew why I feel so much guilt and shame
Expressing a wish to understand the source of guilt and shame.
A pitter-patter pattern on the glass
Describing a calming sound on the glass in a rhythmic manner.
Reached my ear it brings a calming
Highlighting the calming effect of the sound.
I can feel your voice calling
Feeling a connection through the voice despite external chaos.
Clear my mind, clear my mind
Expressing a desire to clear the mind.
Though outside it's far from a clear sky
Contrasting the internal state with the external weather.
When I listen to you speak
Positive impact of listening to someone's voice.
Two hurricanes subside
Suggesting that turmoil diminishes when influenced by the voice.
I don't wanna live my life with guilt and shame
Reiterating the desire to avoid a life filled with guilt and shame.
Still they creep in even when I'm not to blame
Despite innocence, guilt and shame persist.
I feel better when I hear you call my name
Finding solace in hearing one's name, yet questioning the emotions.
Still wish I knew why I feel so much guilt and shame
Still grappling with the unknown source of guilt and shame.
Maybe just maybe I've got only myself to blame
Suspecting self-accountability for the emotions.
(You're to blame)
External attribution of blame, possibly projecting responsibility.
I've got only myself to blame
Acknowledging sole responsibility for the situation.
It's just a token of regret
Describing a small gesture of remorse or sorrow.
You can leave it with the rest
Encouraging not to be overly distressed about the gesture.
Don't look so upset
Advising against expressing too much sadness or disappointment.
It's just a token of regret
Reiterating the small nature of the gesture of regret.
