Shut up
'Simple Plan' Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're always so right
It's all a big show
It's all about you
You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do
You think you're special
But I know, and I know
And I know, and we know
That you're not
You're always there to point
Out my mistakes
And shove them in my face
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Is gonna bring me down
Will never bring me down
Don't tell me who I should be
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time
I'll watch you fade away
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Won't bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Won't bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
In "Shut Up" by Simple Plan, the song is directed towards someone who believes they are always right and hold a sense of superiority, criticizing the singer's every move. The singer expresses and reveals that they are tired of dealing with constant criticism and are not interested in listening to any negative opinions anymore. The chorus, "Shut up, shut up, shut up. Don't wanna hear it," urges the person to stop persuading and trying to convince the singer that they are always wrong. This is further highlighted with sentences like "You're always so right, It's like I'm the one you love to hate" and "You're always there to point out my mistakes and shove them in my face.”
Throughout the song, the singer has clearly reached their limit and demands the other person to leave them alone. They highlight that the negative opinions of others are insignificant, and they refuse to listen to them. Furthermore, the singer highlights that the subject in question is essentially a hypocrite and a fake, and they know who they are. The line "Whatever you do, you think you're special, but I know, and I know, and I know, and we know that you're not" supports this point.
Overall, the song is about wanting to be free from the criticism and opinions of others, to not be boxed in by someone else's opinion of you, and to live your life as you see fit.

Simple Plan taught me these life lessons since I was a kiddo:
-never change who you are and keep it real
-people were always there to judge you no matter how quiet or feisty or whatever you are. so just be yourself and don't give a damn.
-live your life to the fullest.
-feel free to commit mistakes but be open to correction.
-never make yourself anybody's fool.
-look out for those people who loves you and watch out for those who don't.
and more to add....
Your songs have a special place inside my emo heart. Thank you! 👊😃

@@octobergal Unless we`re saved, praying will be worthless, no single one shall be heard.
SALVATION, it must come 1st
sins of a lifetime, must get forgiven
soul must GO AND SIN NO MORE.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
1st we ask
then we seek
then we knock
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
