Sept/25/12
The subject of the Avett Brothers' Shame is a heartbroken man, reminiscing in his actions, and the tone is regretful. The word regret brings an image of someone who wishes that they can rewind time and do something different to bring a better outcome. One line that brings this image is in the chorus, wherein the author says he has "Shame, boatloads of Shame" [line 13]. The word shame implies that his actions (perceived by himself and others) were wrong and he would change them given a second change. Boatloads is a hyperbole that shows that the author feels this shame and the regret is overwhelming.
