Cover art for Shame lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

When I listened to this song and really thought about the lyrics, I imagined it as someone experiencing suicidal thoughts and running away from an attempt as well as the SHAME that comes with that. At the end when it says "hello, goodbye. You know you really made us cry", I'd interpret that as this person making a successful attempt and the narrator mourning them.
