Darkthrone has been a duo of Fenriz and Nocturno Culto since guitarist Zephyrous left the band in 1993. They have sought to remain outside the music mainstream. From 2006, their music strayed from the traditional black metal style and incorporated more elements of traditional heavy metal, punk, and speed metal, while more recent albums have also included doom metal.

Shut up
Darkthrone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll stick to my guns while you stick to yours
Sit down
Let's not pretend that I'll have to use force
Are you Satan?
I don't think so
You copy my style
And you call yourself a man.
You want a piece of me?
Yeah... you do
Begging for this and asking for that
Shut up, fucking twat
Shut up fucking twat
Shut up shut up
I'll stick to my guns
Now you stick to yours
Sit down
Let's not pretend
That I'll have to use force
Are you Satan?
I don't think so
You copy my style
And call yourself a man
Never could fathom my hate
Unable to take a hint
You haven't got a clue
Satanism is lost on you.
The lyrics to Darkthrone's song Shut Up involve an unforgiving and uncompromising attitude towards someone who is trying to copy the singer's style while also asking for their attention and approval. The song starts with a demand for the person to shut up and stick to their own ideas, while the singer asserts that they will do the same. The lyrics go on to question if the person is trying to be like the devil, but ultimately decides they are just copying the singer's style without understanding it. The chorus repeats the demand for the person to shut up and ends with an insult, calling them a "fucking twat."
The theme of the song revolves around authenticity and individuality. The singer is asserting their own individuality and wants the other person to do the same. The line "You copy my style / And call yourself a man" suggests that the singer views originality as an important aspect of masculinity. It can also be interpreted as a commentary on the state of the black metal scene at the time, which was heavily influenced by Darkthrone's earlier work. The song implies that many of the bands copying their style were doing so without understanding the deeper meaning and intent behind their music.
