Shut Up
Naio Ssaion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do I have to have this constant
Feeling of being late for something
Why do I have to be willing to
Participate if it doesn't concern me

Their pace is fast they can do their best
But they will not deceive me
No imposed opinion
No implicit dominion
I passed the test

Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Away in my mind, a way I must find
Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)

Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Away in my mind, a way I must find
Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Shut up

They bomb me with information
Intentionally, so I can make no
Evaluation, no selection
Just blind affection for something
They want me to want
I'm a part of a chain reaction
It makes me mad
These thoughts won't rest in my head
I am misled
I protest against that

Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Away in my mind, a way I must find
Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)

Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Away in my mind, a way I must find
Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Shut up

Kamate kamate
Kora kora [X11]


Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Away in my mind, a way I must find
Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)

Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Away in my mind, a way I must find
Now I
Run (shut up, shut up)
Shut up

The singer questions why they are expected to participate in conversations or have an opinion on things that don't concern them.

The singer feels like they are constantly running behind, struggling to keep up with the pace of the world around them. They seek to escape this overwhelming feeling, hoping to find a way to quiet their thoughts and find clarity.


The chorus repeats the phrase "shut up" as a way to emphasize the desire for silence and the need to filter out the noise of the world.

The inclusion of this chant reinforces the idea of resistance against societal pressures and the need to fight for personal freedom.


Overall, "Shut Up" is a song about the struggle to find peace and independence in a world that is constantly trying to influence and control us.
