Shake It Out
Florence + the Machine Lyrics

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

Our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

'Cause I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

I tried to dance with the devil on your back
And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a final mess but it's left me so empty
It's always darkest before the dawn
(Oh whoa, oh whoa)

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind

How I Met Your Mother Season 7 Episode 17 "No Pressure"

Ted: Just tell me. Do you love me?

Robin:No.

Future Ted: Here's the funny thing: In my own crazy way, I was kind of happy.
For the first time in years, there was no little part of me clinging to
the dream of being with Robin. Which meant, for the first time in years,
the world was wide open. Because, kids when a door closes, well you
know the rest.
Thanks HIMYM :) You will stay in our lifes forever..

Regrets collect like old friendsHere to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

All of his questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah

It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I'd like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out

It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance
Would I take any of it back?
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah

And I'm damned if I do
And I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark
At the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer
And I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
But what the hell
I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah

It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh woah

It's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

When I was a teenager I had severe depression, suffered bullying since I was 8 years old for being gay, nothing in life made me happy and everything seemed dark, I tried to kill myself twice but I couldn't, and in December 2011 I heard Florence for the first time, I listened to the album Lungs and then searched on youtube and this was the first video that appeared, and I remember that while I was watching the video and listening to the music I was thinking about my life and I started seeing colors and lights again, it was like listening to the music the devil on my back was leaving, and I always listen to this song but today I remembered how it helped me.
I don't think that Florence will ever read my comment, but I really wanted her to know how grateful I am to her for this song, she put back in me the love for life that had been taken when I was still a child.
FLORENCE I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU.

It’s a shame that in these so called ‘modern days’ we still lack the ability to except someone for who they are. My brother hung himself 44 years ago for being gay, it was one of the biggest taboos of that time.
Stay strong and believe in yourself. You deserve to live your life how you wish to and be happy.

My mom put me onto Florence when I was 8. When I was 11 I started getting bullied for being gay as well and I, too was suicidal. After suppressing my trauma for years, an incident occurred that made all my trauma resurface. I was 16-17 around that time, and I rediscovered this song and it was a watershed moment. This song truly makes me feel seen. I leave for college in 3 days and I feel like the devil will get off my back when I leave.

My ex partner broke up with me via text during an athletic competition I had qualified for as a mean of 1 final dig at me. I had just finished my warms ups, saw the message, and had 10 minutes before I was to compete. This song came on the radio as a "hot new release" and it was like Florence understood everything I was feeling in that very moment. I shook it out, shook them off, nailed the comp, and have never looked back.

TRUE STORY: I was in human trafficking as a young teen in the Midwest when I first heard this song and It pushed me to stay strong and survive. I use to lie awake every night listening to it knowing I would one day eventually get out of it, if I kept pushing and continued to see the light at the end of that dark dark tunnel. 5 years later I’m 18 and the men who sexually abused me are in prison, my family is united and better than ever, and I’m safe and healthy! When I get down I reflect back on this song and what it means to me. Thank you Florence for creating a song so meaningful for all of the listeners. I hope one day I can be the gift you were for me to someone else going through darkness. GOD BLESS YOU ❤️

Please don't label your child like that a diagnosis isn't a sentence, they can still be and do whatever they Its discriminatory in the long run and you're son will have people all their life try to bellitle their intelegence or capabilities and is actually more harmful on their mentality if you treat them different from any other child.So never let them stop believing that there is nothing on Earth they can't do. I believe 3 quarters of the world actually have it I can't remember the statistics exactly. It's just a little harder but never impossible.

Listening to “Shake It Out” on a 30th birthday I never thought I’d see makes it hit in a new way. Between nine E.R. visits for anaphylaxis, several new diagnoses, a misdiagnosis, an attempt, and advanced stage Lyme disease, I didn’t think I was going to make it to 30. I distinctly remember on my 26th thinking that maybe I wasn’t going to make it. While I don’t know if I’ll make it to old age, I’m happy to get to 30, and I’m ready to shake out from one of the scariest decades of my life. Here’s to the next one!

I feel like this song is about unloading and making peace with the things we all carry around that weigh us down. And the way she sings it makes me truly believe she has actually experienced this. And even though I haven’t, I can almost feel the weights being lifted from my shoulders, and the overwhelming feeling of relief and freedom.

STORY: Around this time last year I heard this song, and I was attached immediately. Over the last few years I’ve been controlled by OCD and severe impulsive thoughts. I was in an abusive relationship, and lost touch with my dad. All this happened in the space of a year and my life was an absolute mess. I some how always find myself coming back to this song and feeling at home. I remember being in the pub with my friend after being at a pride event, singing this song at the top of our lungs and crying with sadness/happiness.

@Anti Mage exactly and that's all Ted wanted . The timing was just shitty for them in the beginning so Robin let Ted go even though she had deep love for him . She wanted him to be happy with someone who could give him the life she couldn't go. So those two went off and fulfilled their dreams and when the timing was right drifted back to each other ...oh man I love those two ...opposites really do attract

@Josh Morely lmao, it's on the tele every day, it has been for years, I just don't like people who think they are cool for ruining it for others, people aren't the same age as you, your an idiot if you think it's OK just cause its been out for years, so what your going to ruin Harry Potter ending for someone if they are 16 or 10 and haven't watched it yet, adults haven't seen it yet, I wouldn't spoil Harry Potter for my mum and she hasnt seen all of them yet, what would it matter if its Netflix or the TV? Friends is on Netflix to but that's been around for years as well. Don't spoil it for others, my brothers a massive fan of how I met your mother, he wouldn't ruin it for others and he knows others haven't seen it. I know HP hasn't got anything to do with it I'm using it as an example to see if you get the point.

When I hear this song it makes me think of the time Florence performed this track for the terminally ill girl at her bed side in America,
it was a touching and beautiful event.

Florence this song has and continues to help me through enduring terminal breast cancer. When I was first diagnosed I had a lot of sleepless nights and I would walk at 5 in the morning before the darkness was overcome by the sun. Thank you so much you songs are very inspiring and I love your music.

True story: This song means so much to me. When I began struggling with OCD, social anxiety and coming to terms with the fact I was gay while attending middle school in the deep south, this song came out. It was perfect timing, I was going through it and this song carried me through. I've listened to this song probably a thousand times at least. I used to listen to it every single morning before school. I still get chills listening to it. I came out to my mom drunk in London last summer and she took it so well and just made me promise if I met a man I would introduce him to her. It was so liberating. Fast forward a few months... So I was in Tijuana Mexico at this bar really drunk and paid the guy controlling the music $4 to play this song. Everybody there was surprised because it was so different than the music that had been playing (in Spanish). I just started dancing alongside everyone, and it was really this moment of release of pent up emotions and acceptance. This will always be my theme song. Thank you, Florence.

i’ve been listening to this song nonstop for short times throughout many years, for some reason i get drawn to it unconsciously every time i’ve been struggling in life and i’m starting to feel better little by little
recently, i got a really really bad year after being heavily depressed after my grandma’s death, a codependent relationship, being cheated on, the death of my pet, online university and fighting against my own demons after finding out i suffer from crippling anxiety and adhd. i feel like singing from the top of my lungs the lyrics that i relate so much to. i can’t even explain the impact this song has had in my life

A best friend of 3 years ghosted me 3 years ago and ever since- I've struggled with doubt within myself, trusting others who may be friends with her and fighting the pain of it. This song helps me let go of that so I don't keep the hate inside me. It brings to life all the good things I forgot about myself and the people who love me.

I survived being badly burned last month and I suffered and am still suffering from a lot of pain physically, mentally, and emotionally. This song just brought me out of that mindset of possibly suffering from pain for a very long time. Listening to the words and singing along with the music has literally soothed me from head to toe, inside and out.

I've always thought it was drawn, not strong. In spite of every lyric site I ever Googled, my ears kept hearing drawn. It makes sense ("I like to keep some things to myself," i.e., closed*) and, besides, *drawn rhymes and contrasts rather brilliantly with dawn, don't you think?
Golly, I'm feeling so validated right now...😌
