Shut up
Aztek Trip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sarcastically listened to every word I haven't said
Maybe you can read my mind without me knowing
Finish all my sentences and fill it with words I wouldn't say
Shut up shut up
Wait until I'm done with talking
Shut up
Shut up shut up
Condescending motherfucker
Shut up shut up your mouth
And let me speak my mind
Lately, you've been on my mind again
I couldn't help to notice
But you haven't heard a word I've said
So what am I to do with, what am I to say
Whatever makes you happy in the end
Let it all end up your way
Shut up shut up
Wait until I'm done with talking
Shut up
Stop putting words into my mouth again
Shut up shut up
Condescending motherfucker
Shut up shut up your mouth
And let me speak my mind
You can't deny that you're hearing
You said its all been done before
Time and time again
At times I'd like to say, don't you ever run away
Shut up shut up
Wait until I'm done with talking
Shut up
Stop putting words into my mouth again
Shut up shut up
Condescending motherfucker
Shut up shut up your mouth
And let me speak my mind
Shut up shut up
Wait until I'm done with talking
Shut up
Stop putting words into my mouth again
Shut up shut up
Condescending motherfucker
Shut up shut up your mouth
And let me speak my mind
The lyrics of Aztek Trip's song "Shut Up" convey frustration and annoyance in response to someone who constantly interrupts, speaks over, and puts words in the singer's mouth. The first stanza sets the scene, suggesting that the singer has been "misled" by this person before and implying that they use their apparent ability to "read [the singer's] mind" to twist their words and intentions. The use of sarcasm in "listened to every word I haven't said" serves to emphasize the singer's frustration with the other person's behavior. The repeated refrain of "shut up" communicates the singer's desire for the other person to stop talking and allow them to express themselves freely and honestly.
In the second stanza, the singer seems to be attempting to reason with the other person, acknowledging their presence in the singer's thoughts and expressing a desire to communicate effectively. However, the other person still seems not to be listening, and the singer ultimately concedes ("whatever makes you happy in the end / let it all end up your way"). The use of the phrase "condescending motherfucker" reinforces the singer's position of frustration, with an added layer of anger and insult.
Overall, "Shut Up" is a strongly worded expression of frustration at being unable to communicate effectively with someone who constantly interrupts and misrepresents the singer's words. The repeated refrain of "shut up" underscores the sense of impatience and desire for resolution that the singer feels.

Be quiet, stop making noise

This band is from the same town that I'm from Allentown Pennsylvania I have a feeling that this song is about Allentown and I would agree
