Description
Relationships have the power to shape people. Someone can have a really good day waking up, meeting with friends, and playing music, but if there is brokenness in a relationship, you feel like you are alone in the dark. Shame On Me is a cheeky upbeat tune with a hint of darkness. The video parallels this mood with bright fast paced stop-motion scenes, with one slow dark moment. The idea is that there is pain, but life still goes on.
Lyrics
My girl is like an underwater cavern in the bottom of the sea / I can never get inside her head, she is a mystery / Even though she never really tells me what she thinks of me / She has found a spot inside my long term memory Somewhere in that guarded mind, she has a thought of me / I can’t pick the lock this time, she won’t hand me the key / What makes her so fortified? She will not let me in / Shame on me for trying My girl is like a love letter written in a language estranged / She is sentimental, but I never can read her brain / Treats me like a man’s an animal that needs to be trained / And I can’t breathe, ‘cause the fire took the air from me Somewhere in that guarded mind, she has a thought of me / I can’t pick the lock this time, she won’t hand me the key / What makes her so fortified? She will not let me in / Shame on me for trying My girl is like a salmon pulled onto the land / Beautiful, but she slips right through my hands / Even when I give her a surprise with special plans / She finds a way to ruin it by giving me more demands / Somewhere in that guarded mind, she has a thought of me / I can’t pick the lock this time, she won’t hand me the key / What makes her so fortified? She will not let me in / Shame on me for trying / Shame on me for trying / Shame on me for trying My girl is like an underwater cavern in the bottom of the sea
