About This Track

070 Shake builds 'Guilty Conscience' around a caught infidelity and its aftermath, the narrator discovering betrayal at 5 a.m. and spending the song cycling through confrontation, detachment, and the weight of unresolved feeling. The track leans into synth-heavy production with an 80s pop sensibility, layering her voice across a hypnotic repetition that mirrors obsessive thought. She moves between accusation and self-protection, the refrain "there goes my guilty conscience" functioning less as relief than as a mantra of severance that never quite sticks. The song samples 'Stand by Me', anchoring its emotional core in a classic of devotion whilst the lyrics dismantle trust entirely. 070 Shake's delivery is measured and precise, letting the production's weight carry the song's darker impulses rather than vocal intensity. What emerges is a portrait of someone trying to walk away from a relationship that has already walked away from them, the synths providing a cool distance the lyrics cannot quite achieve.

"Guilty Conscience" is a single by 070 Shake, from the album Modus Vivendi, released 17th January 2020. The track is 3:33 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about 070 Shake.

Lyrics

Guilty Conscience

My mind won't let me rest, voice in my head
I hear what it says, I can't trust a thing
If I picked up and left, how fast would you forget?

Restin' while I'm inside your presence
I don't wanna think nothin' bad
This time I won't, this time I won't

5 a.m. when I walked in (walked in)
Could not believe what I saw, yeah (saw, yeah)
You on another one's body (body)
Ghosts of the past came to haunt me (haunt me)

I caught you but you never caught me (caught me)
I was sitting here waiting on karma (karma)
There goes my guilty conscience (conscience)
There goes my guilty conscience (conscience)

5 a.m. when I walked in (walked in)
Could not believe what I saw, yeah (saw, yeah)
You on another one's body (body)
Ghosts of the past came to haunt me (haunt me)

I caught you but you never caught me (caught me)
I was sitting here waiting on karma (karma)
There goes my guilty conscience (conscience)
There goes my guilty conscience (conscience)

No I won't let you stay
Thanks for the hours, thanks for the days
If I see your eyes, I turn to stone
I look away, I gotta go-o-o

Gone for the week, don't bother
Til pigs fly, she'll keep on callin'
I been workin' for me, not sorry
Next time that we speak, I'll be calm

Next time that I go in, I'm all in
Why you so close but you feel so far?
You look like the moon in the mornin'
Jaded, faded, almost gone

Restin' while I'm inside your presence
I don't wanna think nothin' bad
Goodnights are never really good nights, nights, nights
Feel something that's heavy inside

5 a.m. when I walked in (walked in)
Could not believe what I saw, yeah (saw, yeah)
You on another one's body (body)
Ghosts of the past came to haunt me (haunt me)

I caught you but you never caught me (caught me)
I was sitting here waiting on karma (karma)
There goes my guilty conscience (conscience)
There goes my guilty conscience (conscience)

5 a.m. when I walked in (walked in)
Could not believe what I saw, yeah (saw, yeah)
You on another one's body (body)
Ghosts of the past came to haunt me (haunt me)

I caught you but you never caught me (caught me)
I was sitting here waiting on karma (karma)
There goes my guilty conscience (conscience)
There goes my guilty conscience (conscience)
