naio ssaion’s first release, entitled "Numedia" and sung solely in Slovenian, was released in April 2004 by CPZ Publishing. The album peaked to #14 in the Slovenian album charts. Making a name for themselves through many triumphs in international band competitions, this chance of a lifetime was a turning point for the band and the beginning of an international musical career that prompted them to sign a worldwide recording contract with Napalm Records.
In 2005, naio ssaion completed work on their Napalm Records debut album to be released on 25 November. A refined mix of modern and powerful rock songs featuring spellbinding vocals and sensational violin arrangements, "Out Loud" remains true to the band’s mantra: “If we don’t like to play it live, it won’t make it on the album”.
Shut Up
Naio Ssaion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Shut up
Shut up
The lyrics for Naio Ssaion's "Shut Up" express frustration with the constant bombardment of information and opinions in modern society. The singer questions why they are expected to participate in conversations or have an opinion on things that don't concern them. They reject the idea of having an imposed opinion or implicit dominion, desiring freedom from the pressure to conform. 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 bridge features a Maori chant, "Kamate kamate, kora kora," which is often used in rugby games as a haka or war chant. 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.
