Shout
Maribelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just let it rain tears of champagne
It's called the liquid truth
If he can't make you feel the love the way he used to
Used to
Used to
Then I think it's time to let it go
The way you're treated really shows
Just let it all out
Oh baby girl
Shout
Your secrets
Who's been forcin' that mouth to keep it?
Oh baby girl
Shout
Your secrets
Confession isn't a point of weakness
Oh baby girl
Shout
Oh baby girl
Shout
It's not a fashion to keep wearing your heart on your sleeve
But does he treat you like Gucci, Prada?
Tell me honestly
Don't have to make it feel like it's all better than it seems
If you need me
If you need me
Then I think it's time to let it go
Your eyes won't tell me, no
The way you're treated really shows
Just let it all out
Oh baby girl
Shout
Your secrets
Who's been forcin' that mouth to keep it?
Oh baby girl
Shout
Your secrets
Confession isn't a point of weakness
Oh baby girl
Shout
Oh baby girl
Shout
It's time to shout
My secrets
Been waiting too long to keep it
Shout
Shout
Time to shout
Oh baby girl
Shout
Your secrets
Who's been forcin' that mouth to keep it?
Oh baby girl
Shout
Your secrets
Confession isn't a point of weakness
Oh baby girl
Shout
Oh baby girl
Shout
I said baby girl
Oh baby girl
The song "Shout" by Maribelle is a powerful message to women in toxic relationships or those who feel uncomfortable with sharing their struggles. The first lines of the verse, 'No reason to keep it all bottled up inside of you, just let it rain tears of champagne,' urge the listener to express their emotions, even if they are complex and overwhelming. The chorus repeats the statement "Oh baby girl, shout your secrets, who’s been forcin’ that mouth to keep it?' which encourages female empowerment and provides an outlet for those who feel unheard. The song suggests that women can still be strong and confident while sharing their feelings and secrets, emphasizing that confession is not a weakness.
The song's next verse addresses the issue of materialism in relationships, using the example of designer brands as a comparison to the way the partner is treating their lover. The lyrics indicate that if the partner is not treating the lover as they deserve, it's time to let go and move on. The phrase "It's called the liquid truth" suggests that expressing emotions through tears or alcohol is healthy and honest.
Overall, the message of the song is encouraging and uplifting for those who might be struggling with their emotions. It reinforces the idea that vulnerability and sharing secrets is okay and that it’s time to break free from toxic relationships. It’s a reminder for women to love themselves, make themselves heard and empower one another.
