Lyrics for shameless as interpreted by aur0ra

shameless Lyrics
i cannot name this
i cannot explain this
and i really don't want to
just call me shameless
i can't even slow this down
let alone stop this
and i keep looking around
but i cannot top this

if i had any sense
i guess i'd fear this
i guess i'd keep it down
so no one would hear this
i guess i'd shut my mouth
and rethink a minute
but i can't shut it now
'cause there's something in it

we're in a room without a door
and i am sure without a doubt
they're gonna wanna know
how we got in here
and they're gonna wanna know
how we plan to get out
we better have a good explanation
for all the fun that we had
'cause they are coming for us, babe
and they are going to be mad
yeah they're going to be mad at us

this is my skeleton
this is the skin it's in
that is according to light
and gravity
i'll take off my disguise
the mask you met me in
'cuz i got something
for you to see
just gimme your skeleton
give me the skin it's in
yeah baby, this is you
according to me
i never avert my eyes
i never compromise
so never mind
the poetry

i gotta cover my butt 'cuz i covet
another man's wife
i gotta divide my emotions
into wrong and right
then i get to see how close i can get to it
without giving in
then i get to rub up against it
till i break the skin
rub up against it
till i break the skin

they're gonna be mad at us
thy're gonna be mad at me and you
thy're gonna be mad at us
and all the things
we wanna do

just please don't name this
please don't explain this
just blame it all on me
say i was shameless
say i couldn't slow it down
let alone stop it
and say you just hung around
'cause you couldn't top it

i love this song, its one of my favorites, the idea of her writting a song like this, suggesting that another women seeks pleasure from another women because her husband is lacking is awesome and so controversial. i love it

i'm going through a sort of thing like this with a girl i'm recently invovled with-
her brother and I were once good friends and have drifted, he does not want her around me, you see.
He's a bit over-protective, even when she dates a man.
This is her and I's song, especially the lines
"they're gonna wanna know
how we got in here
and they're gonna wanna know
how we plan to get out
we better have a good explanation
for all the fun that we had
'cause they are coming for us, babe
and they are going to be mad
yeah they're going to be mad at us"

This song is about a complicated relationship-
it seems as if she is invovled with a woman who is married- Thanks to the lines of
"i gotta cover my butt 'cuz i covet
another man's wife"
Which is not going to be best if found out by the woman's husband.
I love it.

i agree with the rest of the comments. I think it's about a woman involved with another woman who's married. I love the lines:

"we're in a room without a door
and i am sure without a doubt
they're gonna wanna know
how we got in here
and they're gonna wanna know
how we plan to get out
we better have a good explanation
for all the fun that we had
'cause they are coming for us, babe
and they are going to be mad"

Awesome song.

any comments on the lines
"i guess i'd shut my mouth
and rethink a minute
but i can't shut it now
'cause there's something in it"

jess-ka:

i don't think it's as crude as it sounds; ani is more lyrically talented than that. i definatly think the line has a double meaning, but i generally think that it means that she's got this relationship now and she can't stop talking, thinking etc about it. Like, she can't shut her mouth because she has something she wants to talk about, something she wants to do.

"just gimme your skeleton" is a reference to a skeleton in the closet, ie coming out of the closet, perhaps?
