Shut Up
Goof Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My speech ain't free
Everyone is telling me to shut up

Well if you don't like me then cover your ears
Cause I'll say it again
And I'll do it again
And I'll say it again
These words ain't free
But everyone's telling me to fuck off

Well if you don't like me then cover your ears

Cause I'll say it again




And I'll do it again
And I'll say it again

In Goof's song "Shut Up," the lyrics convey a strong sense of defiance and determination in the face of criticism and opposition. The opening line, "My speech ain't free," suggests that the artist feels constrained in expressing themselves freely, possibly due to societal pressures or censorship. Despite this, the artist declares that they will not be silenced and will continue to speak their mind, regardless of the consequences.


The repeated phrase "everyone is telling me to shut up" reflects the artist's perception of being constantly criticized or discouraged from expressing their thoughts and opinions. However, rather than succumbing to the pressure, they assert their right to be heard by challenging those who oppose them. The lines "if you don't like me then cover your ears" suggest that the artist believes it is up to the listener to choose whether or not to engage with their words, implying that those who dislike their message can simply choose not to listen.


The repetition of "I'll say it again" emphasizes the artist's determination to persevere and reiterate their message despite resistance, reinforcing their refusal to be silenced. The inclusion of profanity in the line "everyone's telling me to fuck off" intensifies the rebellious and unapologetic attitude portrayed in the song, further defying societal expectations of conformity.


Overall, "Shut Up" showcases an artist who refuses to be silenced, recognizing that their words have value and deserve to be heard. It speaks to the importance of freedom of expression and the power of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of opposition.
