I think one of my favorite song lyrics comes from a song by Against Me called "Because of the Shame" The song details being at a funeral for an old romantic partner. "With your casket open in front of me, your eyes closed and your lips silent"
The speaker also feels a sense of guilt over the death as well as a confusion about if he meant anything to them. "I'm not sure what i meant to you then, so I'm not sure what I owe you now. But if something I said hurt you, I swear it was not my intention"
He also mentions being afraid of being open and hurt, "Because of the shame, that I associate with Vulnerability, I am numbing myself completely"
