Sabir Mateen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I wasn't there
Don't blame me, it just isn't fair
You listen to their side
Now listen to mine
Can't think of a story
Sure you'll find me sometime
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and you'll forget
The broken window, t.v. set
It wasn't me either, I'm just his mate
He told me to stand here and watch the gate
I've got a wife and three kids you know
They'll tell you I'm straight, at least I think so
I'm as honest as the day is long,
The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong
Now pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and you'll forget
The broken window, t.v. set
Pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and I'll forget
That what you give is what you get...
Pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and you'll forget
The broken window, t.v. set
Pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and I'll forget
That what you give is what you get...
The lyrics of Sabir Mateen's song "Shut Up" seem to describe the experience of someone who is falsely accused of a crime and desperately trying to plead their innocence. The song opens with the singer proclaiming that they are innocent and insisting that they did not commit the crime they are being accused of. They lament that it is unfair to be blamed for something they did not do and beg for a chance to tell their side of the story.
The lyrics take a more complex turn as the singer seems to suggest that there is a mutual blame and a lack of accountability, as though everyone is involved in shifting the blame to others. The singer describes various scenarios where others have tried to shift the blame onto someone else and tries to justify his own innocence. In this light, the song may be viewed as a commentary on the nature of blame and accountability in society, where people often try to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
Overall, the lyrics to "Shut Up" are thought-provoking and posses a sinister undertone. The song reflects a sense of desperation, injustice and ultimately, anger. The singer also seems to be aware of the cyclical nature of blame and wrongdoing and the limitations of taking responsibility for one's actions when so many others refuse to do so.
