Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to shout for joy
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
The Krewmen's song "Shout" is a call for individuality and self-expression in the face of oppressive societal norms. The lyrics criticize the expectation that individuals must conform to rigid expectations and give up their own identity in order to achieve success or acceptance. In the first verse, the repetition of the phrase "let it all out" emphasizes the importance of expressing oneself and not suppressing emotions or desires. The lyrics condemn the "one track minds" of those who value conformity over individuality.
The second verse focuses on the idea that individuals should not have to sacrifice their values or integrity in order to fit in or succeed. The phrase "you shouldn't have to sell your soul" speaks to the idea that society often expects individuals to compromise their values and beliefs in order to be successful or accepted. The lyrics encourage individuals to rebel against these expectations and to refuse to be controlled or limited by societal norms.
The final verse speaks to the idea that breaking down barriers and expressing oneself fully can be a challenging and uncomfortable process. The lyrics suggest that only when individuals let down their guard and open themselves up to vulnerability can true change occur. The final line, "I'd really love to break your heart," is a provocative statement that suggests that challenging societal norms and expectations is a painful but necessary process.
