Hush
Fred Charlton/Reggie Clews/Steve Velez/Tom Tally Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't say what I want to,
Even if I'm not serious.
Things like
"Fuck yourself,
Kill yourself,
You piece of shit."
People tell me what to say,
What to think,
And what to play.
I say
"Go fuck yourself,
You piece of shit.




Why don't you go kill yourself?"
Just kidding.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fred Charlton/Reggie Clews/Steve Velez/Tom Tally's song "Hush" seem to be about the frustration of not being able to express oneself freely. The first line conveys this feeling of being censored or restricted in some way. The following lines are aggressive and angry, but the singer admits that they don't necessarily mean them in a serious way. The use of offensive language seems to be a way of pushing back against the restrictions imposed on them.


The lines "People tell me what to say, what to think, and what to play" suggest that the singer is being hemmed in creatively, and perhaps even personally. They are being told how to live their life and how to express themselves, and they seem to resent this. The repetition of the phrase "you piece of shit" could be seen as a way of venting frustration and anger at those who are limiting them.


However, the final line "just kidding" seems to undercut the anger and frustration that has been expressed so far. The singer is not actually suggesting that people should kill themselves or telling them to go fuck themselves. Instead, they are using these words as a way of expressing their dissatisfaction with their current situation. The song seems to be about the power of language and the frustration that comes from feeling unable to express oneself freely.

First of all I wanted to say a big thank you to the person who uploaded this film!
I experienced the real thriller of the film.๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

So I put it on on popcorn time but it wasnโ€™t loading much to watch it continuously, would stop after every five seconds to load further. It was annoying So I left it and found it here on YouTube. I kept watching it and at some point I paused it to ask my husband if he would like to watch it with me that I wouldnโ€™t mind to start it again from the beginning.

Guys and all I hear in that silence after I asked the question was โ€œI CAN COME IN WHENEVER I WANT!โ€ coming out of my headphones that were on.
I checked - the film was paused, I shitted my pants lol and next I hear again โ€œAND I WILL GET YOU!โ€
F*cking hell I thought๐Ÿ˜ฑโ€ฆ. Was so scary!

Told my husband and he was like โ€œlet me checkโ€
All it was - I forgot to pause the film on popcorn time ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคฃ so the time I paused it on YouTube it was loading the one on popcorn time ๐Ÿคฃ
Well, I was terrified, got all the experience.

I love the moment at 1:02:59 its a very reflective moment for her when she internalizes how dangerous the situation truly is and the depths that she was going to have to go to save her own life i can really appreciate this defining moment in time that translates into how much heart she would give to preserve life

Absolutely love how she uses her wits and her deafness as the ultimate offense against him. Turning supposed weaknesses into strengths. Sheโ€™s a badass. Thank you for uploading.

@kimmeme9960

I can't describe how much i loved this movie, the way she thinks, the way she choose to kill him, she was really brave

@88Grimmjow

Actually, she is just lucky he was such an incompetent moron who couldn't even kill a deaf, mute girl who lives alone.

@dochimekashiariri7610

@88Grimmjow I guess you don't get what he is like or how his mentality is.
