About This Track

'Shame' by POND is an alternative track from the album 'Tasmania' (2019), its lyrics charging from reckless youth towards regret and dread. The narrator watches young love turn corrosive, with references to excess and bodily consequences, before the mood darkens into finality, fear and ritualised submission. A line like “Young hearts run free” sets up the contrast with what follows: looming endings, collective pleading, and a spiritual language of power cast as sin. The result is a confrontational, grimly fatalistic sweep, where romance curdles into damage and the future closes down fast.

"Shame" is a track by POND, from the album Tasmania, released 1st March 2019. The track is 4:51 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about POND.

Lyrics

Shame

Young hearts run free oh ya
Young love has gotta bleed
Who took a little too much
Speed and fucked
His guts up and his teeth
Now that's done, proceed

As final days and shadows loom
We all hold hands
And prepare the tomb
Bowed before the womb

Men fear power and call it sin
From this flower, we all begin
In the red, red room

Now you can bleed on me
Now you can sleep on me
Your body pressed babe,
To my chest babe
We're together
So fuck the rest babe
Now you can bleed on me

Love your skin, holds
Your organs in
Though it holds
Me away from you

Selené and her mortal king
We got more to do

Now you can bleed on me
Now you can sleep on me
Your body pressed babe,
To my chest babe
We're together so
Fuck the rest babe
Now you can bleed on me

Now you can bleed on me
Now you can sleep on me
Your body pressed babe,
To my chest babe
We're together
So fuck the rest babe
Now you can bleed on me
