Shame
Deborah Blando Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We used to be innocent
Deep in the jungle
Body language had all the say
A bite of forbidden
And leaves couldn't covered
The nakedness that showed it's face

Is it true that it used to be all
Taken as something natural
Ooh, so natural!
And who spoiled it? Who?
Was it me? Was it you?
Say

Ah, shame, shame
What a lonely, oh baby
Such a lonely place to stay
This shame, (don't be a) shame
There's too much put upon
Oh, it's an overrated claim
This shame, (don't be a) shame
Shame

It might be in the morning
Could be late in the evening
When fingers get the urge to play
There's nothing alarming
It's not sinful my darling
It's only called a nasty name

But do what you do
When I can't be with you
Boy I love you, oh I said I do!
But save some for me
Cause two can release
The pain

Ah, shame, shame
What a lonely, oh baby
Such a lonely place to stay
This shame, (don't be a) shame
There's too much put upon
Oh, it's an overrated claim
This shame, (don't be a) shame
Shame
(Shame)

Ah, shame, shame
What a lonely, oh baby
Such a lonely place to stay
This shame, (don't be a) shame
There's too much put upon
Oh, it's an overrated claim
This shame, (don't be a) shame
Shame

Shame, shame
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh woh woh woh woh

Shame, shame
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh woh woh woh woh

Shame, shame




Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song Shame by Deborah Blando portrays the feeling of shame and guilt that comes after indulging in a forbidden love or passion. The first stanza suggests that once they used to be innocent and natural, just like animals in the jungle, with body language being the only means of communication. However, they gave in to their desires, and now they feel ashamed, wondering who caused it - themselves or the society. The chorus repeats the phrase "shame, shame" and emphasizes that it's a lonely place to stay, but it's also an overrated claim.


The second stanza implies that their shame is about their sexual passion. The second line gives a hint that it doesn't matter if it's morning or evening when they are engaging in this sin. It's not sinful, but society calls it a "nasty name." The lyrics suggest that they both enjoy it and love each other, but they also need to save some for later to release the pain.


Overall, the song's message is that people should not feel ashamed of their desires and emotions, and it's ok to indulge in them once in a while.


Line by Line Meaning

We used to be innocent
There was a time when things were simple, pure and innocent


Deep in the jungle
The environment in which this innocence existed felt wild and unpredictable


Body language had all the say
Before we were spoiled and corrupted, verbal communication did not matter as much as nonverbal cues


A bite of forbidden
Giving in to taboo or risky behavior provided a thrill that we once cherished


And leaves couldn't covered
Even the natural surroundings could not hide or mask the shame of this exposed behavior


The nakedness that showed it's face
The true bare nature of our actions and emotions could not be disguised or hidden


Is it true that it used to be all
Is it really the case that things were truly pure and natural in the past


Taken as something natural
Were previous actions viewed as part of a natural, uncorrupted state


Ooh, so natural!
Oh, how innocent and natural everything was before we were corrupted


And who spoiled it? Who?
Who is the source or cause of this corruption and shame


Was it me? Was it you?
Are we the ones who caused this shame and loss of innocence


Say
Speak up and take responsibility for this shame


Ah, shame, shame
How shameful and isolating this feeling is


What a lonely, oh baby
Feeling this shame is comparable to being alone and isolated


Such a lonely place to stay
This shame is an undesirable place to be trapped in


This shame, (don't be a) shame
Don't let this shame take over and define us


There's too much put upon
Too much pressure and emphasis placed on this shame and guilt


Oh, it's an overrated claim
This shame is blown out of proportion and not worth the weight that it carries


It might be in the morning
The urge to act on these taboo behaviors can come at any time of day


Could be late in the evening
It doesn't matter what time it is


When fingers get the urge to play
Our bodies have desires and needs that cannot always be controlled


There's nothing alarming
This behavior is not inherently negative or bad, despite what societal norms may tell us


It's not sinful my darling
This behavior is not immoral or wicked, my beloved


It's only called a nasty name
Society judges and labels this behavior as something bad, when in fact it is not


But do what you do
Act on your desires, even when I am not there to share them with you


When I can't be with you
In times of physical absence or distance


Boy I love you, oh I said I do!
Despite any shameful behavior, my love for you remains strong


But save some for me
Don't indulge in everything without me, leave some for us to share together


Cause two can release
Exploring these desires together can bring release and satisfaction to us as a couple


The pain
By indulging in our desires together, we can release the pain and shame that we may be feeling


Yeah, yeah, yeah
Repeating the phrase for emphasis and rhythm


Oh woh woh woh woh
Vocalization for emphasis and rhythm
