Shame

BT

A lonely doll
She came again
Frozen wall
Like teenage skin
And neither for
What comes within
A substance clouds like sinking sin

You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said

How very bizarre
All those blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said
(repeat)

Lay me down

Oh such a shame...

You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says

How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says

You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said

How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what you said

Still smell of fear
She came again
A frozen wall
Like teenage skin
She'll break my fall
Begin my friend
Some old substance clouds like sinking sin

You told your great tale
And it's always the same
Quite a shame that it goes this way
Is what she says

How very bizarre
All these blood-letting games
Quite a shame that it goes this way

It's such a shame
It's such a shame

    General CommentI don't know what it means either....it seems that maybe he's talking about a woman in his life who complains about her life not going anywhere and everything just keeps repeating itself. But like I said before, I really don't know.

    General CommentIn all honesty, I can't really figure out what it's about. But I don't care. BT is absolutely amazing.

    General Commentthis song is great...it's one of those songs that just effects you and makes you want to cry but you don't know what it is that's making you feel that way.

    General Commentnot to be bizarre or anything, but does anyone else get a sexual undertone in this song? "frozen wall / like teenage skin" makes me think of the hymen ... but maybe that's just me. regardless, this is a beautiful song. bt = love

    General CommentA woman keeps coming back into his life. She seems timeless, looks much the same as ever and her personality is very cold. They have a painful affair, rip each other apart emotionally and separate.
