Shame on Me
Face to Face Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Face to Face's song "Shame on Me" seem to talk about a situation where the singer made a mistake by not seeing things clearly and being too naive about how things would work out. The singer feels guilty for believing that everything would be okay despite the warning signs because they wanted to make the best of the situation. The lyric "fool me once, then shame on you, fool me twice, then shame on me" seems to apply here, as the singer now has to choose between being suspicious or naive about the situation.
The singer acknowledges that they understand the other person's side, but still believes they are right. It seems that this situation has caused a rift between two people, and the singer can only blame themselves for not seeing the truth earlier.
Overall, "Shame on Me" is a song about taking responsibility for one's mistakes and acknowledging that sometimes, things don't work out as we hope. The singer has learned a lesson the hard way and is now left to deal with the consequences.
