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

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Shout" by M.O.D. / Method Of Destruction is a powerful anthem calling for freedom from oppression and emotional release. The lyrics begin with urging the listeners to shout and let everything out because there are things in life that can be done without. The song talks about not selling one's soul or compromising in violent times to fit in, and instead, standing up for oneself and breaking free from the one track minds of others. The chorus repeats the call to shout, and the bridge talks about breaking down emotional barriers and trying to break someone else's heart if given the chance.


The song is a representation of the frustration and anger that builds up in people due to societal and personal pressures. Shouting stands for releasing that energy and expressing oneself fully. The line "they gave you life, and in return, you gave them hell" suggests that people should not be forced to fit into societal norms and expectations, and instead, they should live their lives on their terms. The song ends on a poignant note of wanting to break someone's heart if given the chance, which could be interpreted as a desire for emotional connections and vulnerability.
