Walk of Shame
Mesh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what you feel
Because all of this is real
Tell me why you thought
Just the ordinary get caught

When you kicked that stray around
It couldn’t fight you
Now that dog has tasted love
It’s going to bite you

All things remain
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame

Why a man like you,
With everything to lose?
Wasn’t it the same,
The love that made your name?

When you kicked that stray around
It couldn’t fight you
Now that dog has tasted love
It’s going to bite you

All things remain
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame

It just makes no sense to me
You were someone I’d want to be
Like a standard for decency
Just how wrong can my judgement be?

All things remain
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame

All things remain
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame

(Where are your friends now? Where are your friends now?)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame

(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)




It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Walk of Shame" by Mesh seem to be directed towards someone who has done something wrong or hurtful, and the singer of the song is trying to make sense of it all. They ask the person to share their feelings and thoughts about what happened because they want to understand why this seemingly ordinary person made a mistake that could cost them everything.


The imagery of the kicked stray dog that has now tasted love and will bite back is used to warn the person that their actions will have consequences. The chorus repeats the phrase "It’s just another day, it’s just another walk of shame," almost as if the singer is belittling the situation and pointing out how this is just another mistake that people make all the time. However, the line "Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown" adds a darker tone to the song, suggesting that perhaps the person has lost the support of those around them.


The final verse reveals the singer's confusion as they try to reconcile the person they thought they knew with the one who has done wrong. They wonder how they could have misjudged this person so badly and question their own sense of morality.


Overall, the song seems to be about the fallout of making a mistake and the process of coming to terms with it. The imagery of the kicked dog and the repeated chorus create a sense of inevitability and resignation, while the final verse suggests that there is still room for questioning and understanding.
