Ain't that a Shame
Granian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surrounded by things that you can't relate to
And then you find yourself
In the corner of the room again
You try too hard
Now you're left with all these scars
On any other day
You could make them go away
We wait too long
Now it's swallowed us all
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
You break your back
You feel just like you don't react
To anything on time or so it seems
The whole world passed you by
You tried too hard
Now you feel all torn apart
On any other day
You would know the words to say
But you think too much
Now it's got you all messed up
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Ain't that a shame
Find someone else to blame
We wait too long
Now it's swallowed us all
You know you think too much
Now it's got you all messed up
Yeah
It's like your mind is made up
That everything you gave up
Has all been done in vein
Has all been done in vein
Still you push away
You watch and you wait
Surrounded by things that you can't relate to
And then you find yourself in the corner by yourself again
You try too hard and now you're left with all these scars
On any other day you could push it all away
Ain't that a shame
The song "Ain't That a Shame" by Granian talks about the struggle of trying to fit in but failing to do so. The singer of the song is surrounded by things that they can't relate to and constantly finds themselves in the corner of the room. They have tried too hard to fit in and now they have all these scars which they would rather make go away. The song then talks about how waiting too long has swallowed us all and how it's a shame.
The singer then goes on to say that they try so hard to the point where they don't react to anything on time. The whole world has already passed them by and now they are all torn apart. They could've known the words to say but they think too much and now they are all messed up. They ask whether it's a shame and then tell themselves to find someone else to blame.
The final verse of the song talks about how everything the singer gave up has all been done in vein. They continue to push away but still find themselves watching and waiting. The scars of the past still remain but they wish they could push it all away. In conclusion, the song is about the struggle of fitting in and the toll it takes on a person's mental and emotional well-being.

You watch and you wait
You observe and anticipate
Surrounded by things that you can't relate to
You are encircled by things that appear unfamiliar to you
And then you find yourself
Eventually you discover yourself
In the corner of the room again
You are once again in the isolated part of the room
You try too hard
You attempt with a lot of effort
Now you're left with all these scars
You are now bearing the marks of your past mistakes
On any other day
On a different day
You could make them go away
You had the power to erase them
We wait too long
We delay too much
Now it's swallowed us all
Now it has consumed us completely
Ain't that a shame
Isn't that unfortunate
You break your back
You exhaust yourself
You feel just like you don't react
You feel as if you don't respond promptly
To anything on time or so it seems
To anything at the correct moment or that's how it appears
The whole world passed you by
The world moved ahead of you
You feel all torn apart
You feel completely shattered
You would know the words to say
You would know the right things to say
But you think too much
But you overthink
Now it's got you all messed up
Now it has completely confused you
Find someone else to blame
Pursue another person to accuse
You know you think too much
You are aware that you excessively contemplate
Yeah
Yes
It's like your mind is made up
It's as if you have already decided
That everything you gave up
That everything you abandoned
Has all been done in vein
Has all been done fruitlessly
Still you push away
Even now you distance yourself
You watch and you wait
You observe and anticipate
Surrounded by things that you can't relate to
You are encircled by things that appear unfamiliar to you
And then you find yourself in the corner by yourself again
Then again, you find yourself isolated in the nook
You try too hard and now you're left with all these scars
You put in too much effort, and now you bear the marks of your past mistakes
On any other day you could push it all away
On any other day, you could ignore everything
Ain't that a shame
Isn't that unfortunate
