"Shampain" as written by and Pascal Richard Marcel Ghislain/diamandis Gabriel....
Laid dagger dead inside a lonely bed
Trying to hide the hole inside my head
Watching the stars slide down to reach the end
The sleep is not my friend
Drinking champagne to forget yesterday
Coz I remember, the way, the way, the way
It ended that day, the day, the day, the day
That I walked away, away, away, away
Drinking champagne, made by the angel
Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel
Drinking champagne made all the angels
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
Elderly stars slide down the morning sky
Slipping away to find a place to die
I wonder when the night will reach it's end
The sleep is not my friend
Drinking champagne, meant for a wedding
Toast to the bride, a fairy tail ending
Drinking champagne, a bottle to myself
Savor the taste of fabricated wealth
Drinking champagne, made by the angel
Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel
Drinking champagne made all the angels
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
Trying to hide the hole inside my head
Watching the stars slide down to reach the end
The sleep is not my friend
Drinking champagne to forget yesterday
Coz I remember, the way, the way, the way
It ended that day, the day, the day, the day
That I walked away, away, away, away
Drinking champagne, made by the angel
Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel
Drinking champagne made all the angels
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
Elderly stars slide down the morning sky
Slipping away to find a place to die
I wonder when the night will reach it's end
The sleep is not my friend
Drinking champagne, meant for a wedding
Toast to the bride, a fairy tail ending
Drinking champagne, a bottle to myself
Savor the taste of fabricated wealth
Drinking champagne, made by the angel
Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel
Drinking champagne made all the angels
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial

It's "toast to the bride, a fairytale ending" or "very sad ending".
I think this is just a song about the troubles of substance abuse. The religious references I hear, as well; the only thing I can think of right now is that her love for alcohol is beating out her devotion or love to her religion. I don't know much about Gabriel, the angel is not in my holy book.
I noticed that champagne was spelt weirdly, but thought it was just saying about the pain bit, I didn't notice the shame part.
Although it could be either, they both could work I think.
And Gabriel WAS the angel that told Mary she would give birth to the son of God.
I think she probably wanted to spend the rest of her life with them, married or whatever but have a 'faiytale ending' with them. and i tink that the reference to 'elderly stars' is a refernce o herself being to old now and too late to be with the person she loved.
I think that the religious references to the alcohol are because of the deep need and worship she has for it as it is all she has to keep her going, i also think that the lyrics are a bit surreal which may relate to the disillusion you get when you are drunk.
Laid out dead
Inside a lonely bed
Trying to hide the hole inside my head
The lyrics on her site say Laid back in bed, but I believe that was her previous version, as she has changed lyrics in her songs for the album versions. And you can clearly hear that she does not say "Laid back in bed."
But your correction makes a lot more sense. Though it makes it sound like a suicide song. dose "Hole inside my head" refers to a bullet wound?
Consistency is questionable with that interpretation.
