She made her unofficial debut in 1999 with the album Craving, with her first official single, My Eyes, following in 2000. Understatement would appear to be a common theme with Fayray as she isn't particularly well-known outside Japan. Understated also describes her style, attitude and music, the latter of which focuses on the piano (an instrument she began learning at the age 4). Her soft tone and impressive lyrical skill is complemented by the delightfully sweet and occassionally stirring music she composes. Though she regularly turns out superb ballads, Fayray is not shy of the occassional upbeat song (or even remix), demonstrating a skill for songwriting across a wide range. An oft overlooked gem, Fayray is certainly one to please those who desire a more jazz-inspired laid back feel to their music.

I′m ashamed of myself
And the things that i do

絡まった糸がほどけない
I want to run run run to you

どうでもいい人の言葉でさえ

泣きたいのにまた泣けない

I keep running i keep running
I keep trying trying ...

Overall Meaning

Fayray's song Shame seems to be about feeling regretful and remorseful of one's actions, words, and appearance. The singer is "ashamed" of themselves and feels stuck in a web of tangled threads that they cannot unravel. Despite their attempts to escape their shame and possibly seek solace in someone else's companionship, they find that they cannot laugh off even the most insignificant jokes, walk straight, or dismiss hurtful words from others. The singer desires to hide and cries out of sadness but finds themselves unable to do so. The lyrics convey a sense of self-loathing, inadequacy, and inability to escape the trap of one's own negative thoughts and feelings.

The chorus of the song repeats the word "shame," emphasizing the feelings of guilt and embarrassment that the singer cannot shake off. The song could be interpreted as a portrayal of a person struggling with low self-esteem and perhaps depression. The use of imagery of tangled threads, inability to walk straight, and inability to laugh suggests a sense of being trapped and stuck, unable to free oneself from negative thoughts and emotions.
