Shy Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Switch it up
Let's go
I call my girl cause I got a problem
Only a curl is gonna solve it
Then I don't really care, just get him out of my hair, yeah
Let's switch it up, get off my shoulder
I'm over him I swear, I'm like yeah
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Cause he was just a dick and I knew it
Got me going mad sitting this chair
Like I don't care
Gotta get him out my hair
I tried everything but it's useless
He pushed me so far now I'm on the edge
Make him disappear
Go get him out my hair
Okay, gonna bleach him out, peroxide on him
Hair on the floor like Bobby [?]
Now I feel brand new, this chick is over you
We're going out ain't got no worries
Drama now, now it just seems so funny
Put my hands up in the air, I'm like yeah
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Gotta get him out my hair
Cause he was just a dick and I knew it
Got me going mad sitting this chair
Like I don't care
Gotta get him out my hair
I tried everything but it's useless
He pushed me so far now I'm on the edge
Make him disappear
Go get him out my hair
Switch it up, switch it up
Switch it up, switch it up
When you need to get your phone, erase that number
Don't call him back cause he don't deserve it
And when you see him in the club
Just flip your hair, don't show him any love
Cause you've had enough
Cause he was just a dick and I knew it
Got me going mad sitting this chair
Like I don't care
Gotta get him out my hair
I tried everything but it's useless
He pushed me so far now I'm on the edge
Make him disappear
Go get him out my hair
Go get him out my hair
He's in my hair
Gonna get him out
Gonna get him out
(Get him out your hair
)
The lyrics of Shy Child's "Noise Won't Stop" is about a girl who is fed up with a guy who is causing her problems, hence she seeks an escape from him by switching up things. The opening lines, "switch it up, switch it up, let's go," urges a change in the situation, indicating that she is done with him and it is time for something new. She confesses that the guy is a problem, and only a curl will solve it. She tells him to get off her neck because she is tired of his antics. She wants him out of her life and her hair, and is willing to do anything to make that happen.
The chorus asserts the need to cut him off completely by bleaching him out and getting rid of him. She has tried everything, but nothing is working, so she needs to switch it up and try something new. She concludes by telling herself that she needs to forget him and not show him any love. The lyrics of the song highlight themes of self-confidence, self-love, and perseverance, as well as the idea of reinvention in the face of a difficult situation.
