Shame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It just keeps on turning
And as the cream gets wetter
The udder keeps on churning
It just goes on
It just goes on
It just goes on
I can't see no squares
All I see is circles
Tie the knot on my shoes
Pull the string on my girdle
It just goes on
It just goes on
It just goes on
It just goes
Pop, pop, pop
Pop, pop, pop
Pop, pop, pop
Pop, pop, pop
Pop, pop, pop
Pop, pop, pop
Change the sheets on my bed
I wanna smell fresh linen
Will this day ever end?
I need a new beginning
It just goes on
It just goes on
It just goes on
It just goes on
And on, and on, and on, and on
Take the clothes off of my back
They don't seem to fit
I'm throwin' everything at this wall
And hopin' something sticks
I never did nothin'
I couldn't handle
Burn at both ends
That's my candle
I'm burnin' at both ends
I'm burnin' at both ends naturally
I'm burnin' at both ends
I'm burnin' at both ends naturally
It just goes 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round
It just goes 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round
It just goes 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round
The lyrics of the song "Nigel Hitter" by Shame reflect a sense of monotony and frustration with the cyclical nature of life. The opening lines, "Like the wheels on a bus, it just keeps on turning," and "As the cream gets wetter, the udder keeps on churning," depict the never-ending repetition and routine that one can feel trapped in.
The repetition of the phrase "It just goes on" emphasizes this feeling of being stuck in an endless loop. The mention of squares and circles, and tying knots and pulling strings, could be symbolic of trying to fit into a particular mold or conforming to expectations, which only leads to a continuous cycle.
The bridge of the song seems to be a desperate plea for change and renewal. The desire to change the sheets on the bed and smell fresh linen signifies a need for a fresh start or new perspective. The line, "I'm throwing everything at this wall and hoping something sticks," suggests a willingness to try anything to break free from the monotony and find something meaningful.
Overall, "Nigel Hitter" captures the frustration and longing for change that can arise from feeling trapped in a repetitive cycle of life.

Like the wheels on a bus
Just like the ever-turning wheels on a bus
It just keeps on turning
Life keeps moving forward relentlessly
And as the cream gets wetter
As things get more complicated or messy
The udder keeps on churning
The source of the complications keeps producing them
I can't see no squares
I don't see any straightforward or easily solvable problems
All I see is circles
Everything appears to be cyclical or repetitive
Tie the knot on my shoes
Securely fastening my shoes
Pull the string on my girdle
Tightening the string on my girdle to hold everything in
Pop, pop, pop
Repetitive or continuous noise or action
Change the sheets on my bed
Desiring a fresh start or clean slate
I wanna smell fresh linen
Longing for a refreshed and revitalized experience
Will this day ever end?
Feeling trapped in a never-ending cycle
I need a new beginning
Craving a fresh start or opportunity
Take the clothes off of my back
Stripping away everything I have
They don't seem to fit
Realizing that my current circumstances or possessions aren't suitable
I'm throwin' everything at this wall
Trying everything I can to make something work
And hopin' something sticks
Hoping for any sign of success or progress
I never did nothin'
I haven't achieved anything significant
I couldn't handle
I couldn't manage or cope with
Burn at both ends
Pushing myself to the limit or exhausting myself
That's my candle
That's how I live or operate
I'm burnin' at both ends naturally
I'm naturally living life in an intense or exhausting way
It just goes 'round and 'round
Life goes in circles or cycles
'Round and 'round, and 'round
Repeating endlessly

Go on, be honest, who read it as Nigel Hitler the first time they read the title? Probably on a lot of people's minds as of late.
