shut up

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sarcastically listened to every word I haven't said
Maybe you can read my mind without me knowing
Finish all my sentences and fill it with words I wouldn't say
Shut up shut up
Wait until I'm done with talking
Shut up
Shut up shut up
Condescending motherfucker
Shut up shut up your mouth
And let me speak my mind
Lately, you've been on my mind again
I couldn't help to notice
But you haven't heard a word I've said
So what am I to do with, what am I to say
Whatever makes you happy in the end
Let it all end up your way
Shut up shut up
Wait until I'm done with talking
Shut up
Stop putting words into my mouth again
Shut up shut up
Condescending motherfucker
Shut up shut up your mouth
And let me speak my mind
You can't deny that you're hearing
You said its all been done before
Time and time again
At times I'd like to say, don't you ever run away
Shut up shut up
Wait until I'm done with talking
Shut up
Stop putting words into my mouth again
Shut up shut up
Condescending motherfucker
Shut up shut up your mouth
And let me speak my mind
Shut up shut up
Wait until I'm done with talking
Shut up
Stop putting words into my mouth again
Shut up shut up
Condescending motherfucker
Shut up shut up your mouth
And let me speak my mind
The lyrics of "Shut Up" by Nemesis & Trips convey a strong message about the frustration of being constantly misunderstood and misrepresented by someone. The singer addresses this person directly, expressing their annoyance at being sarcastically listened to and having words put into their mouth. The first verse suggests that this person thinks they can read the singer's mind and finish their sentences, but in reality, they are saying things that the singer wouldn't say. The repeated phrase "Shut up" serves as a command to this person, urging them to stop interrupting and let the singer have their own voice.
In the second verse, the singer mentions that this person has been on their mind lately, indicating that the issue between them hasn't been resolved. Despite the singer's efforts to communicate, it seems that the person hasn't listened or understood what they've been saying. The singer questions what they can do or say to change the situation, but also acknowledges that in the end, they may have to accept that the other person will do things their own way.
The bridge of the song reinforces the idea that the person being addressed is not listening or acknowledging the singer's perspective. It suggests that the person has a habit of denying what they hear, claiming that everything has been done before and that there is no point in expressing oneself. The singer longs for the person to stay and not run away when confronted with their true feelings.
Overall, "Shut Up" captures the frustrations and desire for autonomy that arises when one's words are constantly misinterpreted, dismissed, or overshadowed by someone else's assumptions.

Surely you've been misled again
You have once again been deceived
Sarcastically listened to every word I haven't said
Mockingly paid attention to everything I did not say
Maybe you can read my mind without me knowing
Perhaps you have the ability to understand my thoughts unknowingly

Shut up shut up your mouth
Silence yourself
And let me speak my mind
Allow me to express my thoughts
Lately, you've been on my mind again
Recently, you have been occupying my thoughts once more
I couldn't help to notice
I couldn't avoid noticing
But you haven't heard a word I've said
However, you have not listened to anything I have said
So what am I to do with, what am I to say
So what should I do with, what should I say
Whatever makes you happy in the end
Whatever brings you happiness ultimately
Let it all end up your way
Allow it to conclude according to your preference
You can't deny that you're hearing
You cannot deny that you are listening
You said its all been done before
You asserted that it has all been previously accomplished
Time and time again
Repeatedly
At times I'd like to say, don't you ever run away
Sometimes I want to say, do not ever flee
