Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it (shake it)
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
When the sky breaks
When the E O I
When the ground shakes
I'll ease your pain
When the rain falls
Nowhere to go
Just take my hand
Just take my hand
Just take my hand
Just take my hand
Just take my hand
Just take my hand
(Shake it off, shake it)
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah

Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
If you wish to win this fight
Shoot them down
Fuck it up and shake it off
When the darkness comes
Sign the deal and make a pact
The wind will turn
And when they beat you down
Just take my hand
Just take my hand
Just take my hand
Just take my hand
(Shake it off, shake it)
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it (shake it)
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off

Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, yeah
Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off
The lyrics to Death Team's song "Shake It Off" are about perseverance and finding strength through difficult times. The repetition of the phrase "shake it off" throughout the song emphasizes the idea of letting go of negative emotions and moving forward. The opening verse suggests that even when things seem hopeless, there is someone who will be there to ease your pain and offer guidance. The following verse touches on the idea that sometimes in order to succeed, you have to be willing to "shoot them down" and "fuck it up" and not let the darkness of the world bring you down. The chorus repeats the message of the song, encouraging listeners to shake off their burdens and keep going.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was originally released by Taylor Swift in 2014, but Death Team's version features different lyrics and a different melody. The song was also covered by the Australian rock band Hands Like Houses. Additionally, the song was used in a commercial for the clothing brand H&M. The song's catchy beat and upbeat message make it a popular choice for dance routines and workout playlists. The song's producer, Mr Tophat, is a well-known DJ and producer in Sweden, and he has worked with other artists such as Robyn and Axel Boman. Death Team is known for their unique electro-pop sound and their humorous and irreverent lyrics. The duo has been active since 2013 and has released several EPs and full-length albums. The song's music video features the band members performing in various locations, including a rundown apartment and a forest, and it incorporates visual effects such as glitchy transitions and neon colors.
Chords: G - D - Em - C (verse), C - G - Am - F (chorus)
