Her range of influences have stemmed from Eminem’s rapping, Ariana Grande’s catchy hooks, and Freddie Mercury’s invigorating vocals. Blending together the ethnic sounds of her Indian background with the combination of alluring vocals, well crafted lyrics, and an overall self-confident vibe, Shuba has begun showcasing her undeniable talent of rapping and singing in an authentic fashion.

Growing up as a minority in the United States, Shuba aims to write music for the underdogs who feel stuck inside society's “norm”. She fights the constant struggle of self-acceptance; from liking her hair, to feeling like she fits within the expectations of even her own Indian culture. At her 6th grade graduation in a small midwest town, Shuba wrote that she wanted to be a singer, hoping to be as recognizable as a skyscraper in a big city one day. From going on to doing a virtual jam session with Brian May of Queen, to being acknowledged for her singing talent by icons such as Celion Dion & Shakira, Shuba is well on her way to achieving that dream.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna be strong
Wanna be strong
But I can′t
You, you know it's wrong
You know it′s wrong
But you don't care

My security is gone
And I'm too scared to walk alone
And I′m, I′m tired of it
News reports are always on
And someone's always getting hurt
But I, I wanna quit

But if we′d see eye to eye
Would my armor hit the floor
Would my hands tremble relentlessly or
Would you just ignore and pull the trigger
And just like that all my emotions gone and you just go on go on
And you pull the trigger
You pull the trigger

It's so cold
It′s so cold
Why me?
I'm alone
I′m alone
And I can't breathe

Got no strength to hold my phone
Someone tell the ones at home
And they'll
They′ll pray for me

But if we′d see eye to eye
Would my armor hit the floor
Would my hands tremble relentlessly or
Would you just ignore and pull the trigger
And just like that all my emotions gone and you just go on go on
And you pull the trigger
You pull the trigger

What if we talked it out
Hey namanana
What if we talked it out
Hey namanana
What if we talked it out
What if we ta ta talked it out
What if we talked it out

But if we'd see eye to eye
Would my armor hit the floor
Would my hands tremble relentlessly or
Would you just ignore and pull the trigger
And just like that all my emotions gone and you just go on go on
And you pull the trigger
You pull the trigger

But if we′d see eye to eye
Would my armor hit the floor
Would my hands tremble relentlessly or
Would you just ignore and pull the trigger
And just like that all my emotions gone and you just go on go on




And you pull the trigger
You pull the trigger

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shuba's song "Eye to Eye" express the feeling of vulnerability and fear in a world where violence and harm seem to be a constant threat. The singer wants to be strong but feels powerless in the face of danger that could come at any moment. The news is always full of reports of people getting hurt, and the singer is tired of living in constant fear. However, the thought of facing the person who could hurt them directly is even more terrifying. The singer asks, "But if we'd see eye to eye, would my armor hit the floor?" This line refers to the idea of vulnerability and defenselessness, as armor is a protective layer that shields a person from danger. The singer wonders if seeing eye to eye with the person who could hurt them would make them drop their guard, leaving them vulnerable to attack.


The chorus of the song repeats the idea of facing imminent danger and the possibility of being harmed. The singer questions whether the person who could hurt them would ignore their vulnerability and proceed with violence by pulling the trigger. The lyrics convey a feeling of desperation as the singer tries to imagine a reality where they could talk things out instead of resorting to violence. In the end, however, they wonder if having a conversation would even change the outcome or whether violence is inevitable.


Overall, "Eye to Eye" is a powerful song that speaks to the fear and uncertainty present in our world. The lyrics capture the struggle between vulnerability and strength, and the singer's vocals convey the depth of emotion present in the song.

SHUBA! Such talent! You need a North-American breakout song...'Someone is Missing You' is SO POWERFUL...I used to be a producer back in the day - and still do periodic work 'behind the board' - so, I KNOW that your voice is amazing...Check out the Toronto music scene...find a duet with someone as your entry point...just get your voice heard over here - and in Canada. Another 'maybe crazy, maybe not' - idea? Justin Beiber. I can imagine 'Someone is Missing You' as a duet with YOU and him.

Love this song... wow.... just wow

@denisdaniel1010

I hate how the rest of the world doesn't know this girl. She is as good as or even better than Demi or Ariana, she should be at their level. It makes me sad.

@mitalirajbonshi4559

IKR!!!

@orphicgirl

She's going to get there.

@user-ih4fd9sf8x

She is absolutely not honey. This is called imitating voices she has no original voice. She copied Christina , Shakira, Ariana, Selena, etc. i actually thought she sounded good up until I started watching all the videos and realized she just imitates others
