Shut It Down
Goat Mom Music & NightCove_theFox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My inner thoughts become enemies, monstrosities
That eat me up from the inside
I feel like I′m running on empty
These voices I hear in my mind
One of them doesn't sound like me
(One of them doesn′t sound like me)
I've lost control, I feel no pain
You know you cannot run away-way-way
I'll go anywhere you go
I′ll follow you and stay the course
Nothing′s gonna stop me now
Security Breach, we'rе gonna shut it down, down, down
I go again, it never ends
I feel likе I′ve lost my choice
Tell me, why did I listen?
Now I feel like I've lost all control
Over me
Am I just a puppet?
Will I ever be free?
Feel the evil coursing through my veins
I′ve lost control, I feel no pain
You know you cannot run away
Shh
I'll go anywhere you go
I′ll follow you and stay the course
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Security Breach, we're gonna shut it down
Somebody help me, because I can′t save myself
I don′t know how, but I ended up in hell
Somebody help me, because I can't save myself
Somebody help me, because I can′t save myself
(I'll go anywhere you go)
I′ll follow you and stay the course
Somebody help me, because I can't save myself
(Nothing′s gonna stop me now)
Security Breach
We're gonna shut it
(Oh we'll shut it down)
(Security breach we′re gonna shut it)
(Down)
Down
The opening lines of "Shut It Down" speak about the internal struggles of the singer as he/she grapples with their own moral and ethical boundaries. The use of words like "boundaries," "moralities," and "monstrosities" suggests a deep sense of turmoil and confusion in the singer. The next line, "That eat me up from the inside", accurately depicts how these inner battles can overthrow one's sense of peace and create unrest in one's life. The singer admits to feeling empty and hearing conflicting voices in their mind.
In the chorus, the singer takes on a different tone with an air of menace and a lack of remorse. The line "Feel the evil coursing through my veins" suggests that the singer has given up control of their actions and is exhibiting some form of destructive behavior. This action is one that the singer enjoys (hence the "feel no pain" line), and it is something that the intended recipient of the song cannot run away from. Later, the singer laments that they have lost their sense of choice and control in their life.
Overall, the song seems to be about the loss of control and the struggles with one's inner demons. The lyrics discuss the internal battles that people face, and how these battles can manifest in negative ways. The chorus is an ominous warning to others to be careful around the singer since they are no longer in control of their actions.
