Description

A very loud song with distorted guitars and vocals, quite similar to Agitated and Yes Please. The bass is very predominant in the track, with assorted guitar feedback and very intense drums, much like Hyper Music. The 1997 demo version of "Ashamed" is almost a minute longer and contains a slow bridge towards the end of the track, analogous to that of early live performances of "Assassin". This song heavily borrows from the song "Snakecharmer" by Rage Against the Machine. The outro riff also bears a slight resemblance to the outro riff from "Freedom" by Rage Against The Machine, a riff often covered during live performances.

Additional information

It is possibly about a girl whose partner thinks she is uncertain about the relation but is too ashamed to tell him.

The song uncommonly had some airplay on some Australian rock stations.^[2]

Live

Rarely played live, though performed very often as an outro riff during the ending of "Showbiz" on the Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry tours. An example of this can be heard on the Hullabaloo CD and DVD. It was, however, played in full during a few Showbiz-era shows in May and June 2000. It has also been used beginning with the Black Holes and Revelations tour as an outro to "New Born".

Lyrics

I know there's something
That you're dying to tell me I hope it's not about it in case you love me
Make sure no one finds out Tell me all about it Don't keep it to yourself Because I can't bear the thought I never needed your cry I know you love me It doesn't matter because I'm in control
I know that you're ashamed So emotional that it kills you Don't you know that you're ashamed? So emotional that it kills you
There's always something that makes you guilty There's still something that you're dying to tell me
Make sure no one finds out Tell me all about it Don't keep it to yourself Because I can't bear the thought I never leave you crying I know you love me It doesn't matter because I'm in control
I know that you're ashamed So emotional that it kills you Don't you know that you're ashamed? So emotional that it kills you

Demo version

I can tell there's something
That you're dying to tell me I know it's not about you And not about my love
Make sure no one finds out Tell me all about it Don't keep it to yourself Because I can't bear the thought Never leave me crying I know you'll find me I don't matter cause I'm in control
I know that you're ashamed So much that it thrills you Don't you know that you're ashamed? So much that it thrills you
I can tell that you ??? It's still not about my contrary loving
Make sure no one finds out Tell me all about it Don't keep it to yourself Because I can't bear the thought Never leave me crying I know you'll find me I don't matter cause I'm in control
I know that you're ashamed So much that it thrills you Don't you know that you're ashamed? So much that it kills you
I kill I kill I kill
Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head
Get out of my head (Don't really know) Get out of my head (Don't really know) Get out of my head (Don't really know) Get out of my head

-This song is very loud and distorted, with distorted vocals as well.

 == Additional information ==
-This song is about [[Matthew Bellamy]]'s one time flat mate who dealt hard drugs, heroin in particular.<ref name="k20020622">{{cite/Kerrang 2002-06-22}}</ref>  The song was recorded first as a demo towards the end of 1996, then entitled "Crazy Days".<ref name="nadnotes"/>  Bellamy's own paraphrased recollections have him moving from [[Teignmouth]] to Exeter when he was 18, which he became in July of the same year.<ref name="k20020622"/>  Thus, we can deduce that the song was composed sometime during the latter half of 1996.<ref name="k20020622"/><ref name="nadnotes"/>
+It is possibly about a girl whose partner thinks she is uncertain about the relation but is too ashamed to tell him.
-The flat which Bellamy and this flatmate shared was situated above an erotic literature store.  He described it as having looked like "a scene from Trainspotting".<ref name="k20020622"/>
-The demo version outro is a short section of what later became [[Execution Commentary (song) | ''Execution Commentary'']].  Also in the demo version, the guitar is without as many effects as the later version on ''[[Hullabaloo Soundtrack (live) | Hullabaloo Soundtrack]]'' and Bellamy does not scream the second and fourth lines of each verse.  The Hullabaloo version, in contrast, has him screaming those parts with vocal effects applied.  Other parts added to the Hullabaloo recording include the band laughing and Bellamy saying "Jump on my pleasure pill?  Yes please!" between 0:20 and 0:32, with the band later laughing again at 1:50 and 2:50. Matt expressed the desire to rename the song, but never did.<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/instantMUSEnger/conversations/topics/2934]</ref>
-The Yes Please riff is practically identical to the riff (starting at roughly 4:20) in the [[Rage Against The Machine]] song 'Freedom'.
+The song uncommonly had some airplay on some Australian rock stations.<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/instantMUSEnger/conversations/messages/7998]</ref>
 == Live ==
-As with other early songs, it is unknown when the band started playing ''Yes Please''.  The two early live recordings that are available currently, those of [[Torquay English Riviera Centre 1994 (gig) | the Battle of the Bands in November 1994]] and [[Plymouth Hoe 1997 (gig) | the ''Soundwaves'' festival of August 1997]], do not include Yes Please. As the song has been dated back to 1996 it is likely the song was played in its unfinished state for several years.
+Rarely played live, though performed very often as an outro riff during the ending of "[[Showbiz (song)|Showbiz]]" on the ''[[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]]'' and ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]]'' tours. An example of this can be heard on the ''[[Hullabaloo]]'' CD and DVD. It was, however, played in full during a few [[Showbiz]]-era shows in May and June 2000. It has also been used beginning with the ''[[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]]'' tour as an outro to "[[New Born (song)|New Born]]".
-The song, from what we know, did not make an appearance during the 1999 tour, nor did it appear in the first half of 2000. The song was premiered in its finished state in late May 2000. For the first few gigs, the track was played instead of [[Agitated (song) | Agitated]]. It then became a common opener at festivals during July and August. It is believed to have been played between eighteen and thirty-five times in 2000, eighteen being the current known number of gigs and thirty-five including gigs with unknown setlists the song was possibly played at. After [[Tokyo Blitz 2000 (gig)|2000-10-14]], only riffs from the song were played, until it was performed in full again on [[Helsinki Olympiastadion 2013 (gig)|2013-07-27]]. It then made the occasional appearance during the latter half of The 2nd Law Tour and once in 2014.
