"A life on every face"
And that's a change
Till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste
(Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
It's a shame
Such a shame to believe in escape
"A life on every face"
And that's a change
The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, "I don't care"
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Write it across my name
It's a shame
This eagerness to change
(Such a shame)
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage
It's a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Write it across my name
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
This eagerness to change
Such a shame
The lyrics of Crew 7's song "Such A Shame" speaks about the idea of escapism and the struggles and shame that comes with trying to escape from the reality of life. The opening lines express the difficulty of trying to believe in escaping from life's challenges and stresses, which are present in everyone's lives. The "life on every face" refers to the fact that everyone has their own set of problems that they have to deal with.
The song then speaks about the internal struggle of whether one should change or not. The line "maybe I don't know if I should change" suggests that the singer is torn between whether they should change who they are or not. They share a feeling with someone else and don't want to change that, but at the same time, they are eager to change.
The repetition of the phrase "number me with rage" is used to convey the idea of being judged or labeled by others. The phrase "write it across my name" also means that these judgments and labels have been stuck with them and become a part of their identity. The ending of the song repeats the same idea, that the eagerness to change is a shame, which suggests that the singer is reluctant to change, even though they feel like they should.
