Shut Up
Meggie York Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said forever and a day
But all the little words they got caught in the way
And I don't know what to say
About anything and
You play guitar and care about the fact
That people judge if they don't like the way you act
And you leave but you always keep coming back
To repeat the past

When I look into your eyes
I can only see him looking back in mine
Mine
Oh no

Not gonna do this all over again
Where he can break a heart
But still wants to be friends
So shut up shut up shut up shut up
already read the same chapter to the end

You said that you've never felt this way
but every other guy has been right in your place
and I wish I could erase
all of those memories and
even though it has been fine for us
I see his face in the way that you broke my trust
like a song that's playin on repeat
just because I like it it's never good for me

cause when I look into your eyes
I can only see him looking back in mine
In mine in mine in mine

Not gonna do this all over again
Where he can break a heart
But still wants to be friends
So shut up shut up shut up shut up
already read the same chapter to the end

Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up

Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up

Not gonna do this all over again
Where he can break a heart
But still wants to be friends
So shut up shut up shut up shut up
already read the same chapter to the end




already read the same chapter to the end
already read the same chapter to the end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Meggie York's song "Shut Up" delve into the complexities of a relationship that is haunted by memories of a past love. The singer expresses frustration and confusion as their partner's words and actions remind them of a previous relationship that ended in heartbreak. The phrase "You said forever and a day" sets the tone, highlighting the promises made but not kept, with words getting lost along the way.


The singer's struggle is evident as they mention feeling unable to speak about the situation and the conflicting emotions that arise. The partner's actions, such as playing guitar and caring about perception, serve as reminders of past hurts and the fear of being judged. Despite the partner's repeated returns, the cycle of pain and nostalgia is perpetuated, leading to a sense of history repeating itself.


The recurring theme of looking into the partner's eyes and seeing the face of the past love reflects the singer's internal turmoil. The line "I can only see him looking back in mine" suggests that the singer is haunted by the ghost of the previous relationship, unable to fully embrace the present. The longing to erase painful memories and the struggle to distinguish between past and present emotions add layers to the emotional depth of the song.


The repeated plea to "shut up" can be interpreted as a defense mechanism, an attempt to silence the echoes of the past and break free from the cycle of hurt. The insistence on not wanting to relive the same heartbreak and the realization that certain chapters are better left closed convey a sense of self-preservation and a desire for closure. Ultimately, the song captures the inner conflict of wrestling with past traumas while trying to navigate a present relationship, ultimately seeking to break free from the cycle and move forward.
