Shame
ag-songs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always thought that I could read your mind
But lately we've been like two actors in a show,
and I wonder, wheres the loving that we used to know
I hoped that everything would be allright,
that you would be forever by my side
But all the feelings and the life we used to share,
You're my fire,
you're my desire,
shame on you
Can't you see, that we have gone too far
Don't you leave me,
don't you deceive me,
shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You know I love you though you cheat on me,
you try to hide it, but it's plain to see
Make up your mind, 'cause I cant take it anymore,
won't you turn to me and tell me what you're waiting for?
You're my fire,
you're my desire,
shame on you
Can't you see, that we have gone too far
Don't you leave me,
don't you deceive me,
shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You're my fire,
you're my desire,
shame on you
Can't you see, that we have gone too far
Don't you leave me,
don't you deceive me,
shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You're my fire,
you're my desire,
shame on you
Can't you see, that we have gone too far
Don't you leave me,
don't you deceive me,
shame on you
I just want to be where you are

Despite their hopes that things would resolve themselves, it is clear to the singer that the passion they once shared is gone, and their partner no longer seems to care about the relationship. There is a clear sense of desperation in the lyrics, as the singer implores their partner not to leave or deceive them, expressing their desire to be where their partner is.
Overall, the message of "Shame" is that relationships require honesty and effort to maintain. The singer feels hurt and betrayed by their partner's lack of involvement and faithfulness. They still love their partner despite the cheating, but they can no longer bear the emotional turmoil that the relationship has become. The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain of "shame on you," expresses the singer's sense of moral indignation and betrayal.
The song's emotional charge is conveyed through its melody and arrangement. The haunting, minor-key piano chords are matched by the singer's emotive vocal performance, which imbues the words with a sense of raw pain and longing. The chorus's soaring harmonies mirror the singer's desire for reconciliation and closure. Ultimately, "Shame" is a powerful song about the complexities and difficulties of love and relationships.

We've been together for the longest time,
We have been in a relationship for the longest duration
I always thought that I could read your mind
I believed that I could understand your thoughts and feelings
But lately we've been like two actors in a show,
Recently, we have been pretending to be in love, just like actors in a play
and I wonder, wheres the loving that we used to know
I am curious about the romantic love that we used to share but has now disappeared
I hoped that everything would be allright,
I had hoped that all our problems would resolve themselves
that you would be forever by my side
I expected you to always be there for me
But all the feelings and the life we used to share,
However, all the emotions and experiences we shared together
now it seems to me it's gone and that you just don't care
Seem to be gone, and it appears that you have stopped caring
You're my fire,
You are the source of my passion
you're my desire,
You are the object of my longing
shame on you
I am disappointed and disapproving of your behavior
Can't you see, that we have gone too far
Don't you realize that we have reached a point of no return
Don't you leave me,
Please don't abandon me
don't you deceive me,
Don't betray my trust
I just want to be where you are
All I want is to be with you
You know I love you though you cheat on me,
You know that I have feelings of love for you, despite your unfaithfulness
you try to hide it, but it's plain to see
You attempt to conceal your infidelity, but it is apparent to me
Make up your mind, 'cause I cant take it anymore,
Decide what you want because I cannot tolerate this situation any longer
won't you turn to me and tell me what you're waiting for?
Why don't you face me and let me know what you are hesitating about?
