Walk of Shame
Flying Blind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Catastrophe
I don't believe astrology
What I choose
I pay my dues
That's all okay
My egos bruised
hear the sounds
Falling from their mouths
Falling from their mouth
And I know
There's no one left to blame
Its me who that went insane
Can't put out the flame
Along the walk of shame
last night I spent
Throwing out my scent
That really wasn't
What I meant
Eyebrows I raised
In a drunken haze
And I'm the only one who pays
ohhh no!
Everybody knows!
Everybody knows!!
and I see
There's no one left to blame
Its me who that went insane
Can't put out the flame
Along the walk of shame
hear the sounds
Falling from their mouths
Falling from their mouth
And I know
There's no one left to blame
Its me who that went insane
Can't put out the flame
He's the only who came
Along the walk of shame
The song "Walk of Shame" by Flying Blind speaks about the aftermath of a drunken night out. The singer feels guilty and embarrassed about their actions the night before, as they walk home alone and face the judgmental looks of others. Their ego is bruised, and they realize that they alone are responsible for their behavior. They have to pay the price for their mistakes, and they feel as though everyone knows what they did and is judging them for it. The lyrics "All eyes on me, catastrophe" reflect the feeling of being in the spotlight and being the center of attention for all the wrong reasons.
The chorus "And I know there's no one left to blame, it's me who went insane, can't put out the flame along the walk of shame" portrays a sense of hopelessness and resignation. The singer recognizes that they cannot undo the past and must learn to live with their mistakes. They feel as though they have gone crazy, and the consequences of their actions are like an unconquerable flame that they cannot put out.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the shame and guilt that can come with a night of heavy drinking. It speaks to the universal experience of waking up after a night out and regretting the things one did or said.

Behavior not aligned with intentions
Eyebrows I raised
Behaving strangely
In a drunken haze
Intoxicated and not in control
And I'm the only one who pays
The consequences are mine alone
Ohhh no!
Exclaiming shock or dismay
Everybody knows!
My mistake is well known
He's the only who came
Referring to myself as the only person affected
