Shameless
VRSTY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go on and bury me!

Ready and willing but down on my luck
Cards on the table, I know what she wants
She likes 'em my type, super fly broken enough
She'll lift you up so high, leave you searching for love

But I can't take anymore
Convulsing like a fiend on the floor
She says I'm the one but this isn't fun
She fooled me once now she's coming for blood
Bury me!

Take the darkest parts of me
Drown me in your kerosene
Light me up, make me believe
I am everything you need
I can be that thing you dream
If you just light the way
Go on and bury me!
Go on and bury me!

She slides inside and goes for the kill
She'll cut you deep, she'll do it just for the thrill
I'm hypnotized by her eyes, when she moves I'm alive
She's crazy but she's all mine

But I can't take anymore
Convulsing like a fiend on the floor
She says I'm the one but this isn't fun
She fooled me once now she's coming for blood

Take the darkest parts of me
Drown me in your kerosene
Light me up, make me believe
I am everything you need
I can be that thing you dream
If you just light the way
Go on and bury me!
Go on and bury me!

She doesn't think that I'll find a way
But I've been here so long, I wear this hell on my face
She doesn't know (she doesn't know)
She moves in slow (she moves in slow)
But I know something's she don't
I've lost myself control

Take the darkest parts of me
Drown me in your kerosene
Light me up, make me believe
I am everything you need
I can be that thing you dream
If you just light the way

You can take these parts of me
Drown me in your kerosene
Light me up, make me believe
I am everything you need
I can be that thing you dream
If you just light the way
Go on and bury me!
Go on and bury me!

Go on and bury me!




Bury me!
Go on and bury me!

Overall Meaning

The song "Shameless" by VRSTY describes a toxic relationship where the singer is willing to do anything for their partner, even if it means sacrificing themselves. The lyrics illustrate how the singer is down on their luck and vulnerable, but their partner provides a sense of excitement and purpose. However, the partner is depicted as manipulative and destructive, causing the singer to feel trapped and unable to leave. Despite the toxic dynamic, the singer is unable to resist their partner's seduction and is willing to be "buried" for the relationship.


Throughout the song, the imagery of fire and being burned alive is used to represent the intensity and danger of the relationship. The singer is consumed by their partner's passion and control, but recognizes that it's not a healthy situation. Despite this realization, they are unable to escape and instead ask to be "buried" as a way to give in completely.


Overall, "Shameless" portrays the dangerous allure of a toxic relationship and the consequences that come with it. The lyrics emphasize the importance of recognizing and leaving unhealthy relationships, rather than being consumed by them.

This sounds just like Michael Jackson if he was in a band. His tone is 100% match to MJ’s voice. His style and everything. This is probably some of the best music I’ve heard all year. You guys need to keep coming with the tunes. You guys are gonna be just as big as issues soon. In my eyes your on par with those guys. And in some ways your better.
