Shut Up
Simple Plan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There you go
You're always so right
It's all a big show
It's all about you

You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
To criticize me

It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right

It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today

So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down

There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do

You think you're special
But I know, and I know
And I know, and we know
That you're not

You're always there to point
Out my mistakes
And shove them in my face

It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today

So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down

Is gonna bring me down

Will never bring me down

Don't tell me who I should be
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time
I'll watch you fade away

So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down

So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down

Bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Won't bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Bring me down
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Won't bring me down





Shut up, shut up, shut up

The chorus, with its repeated command to "shut up," reflects the singer's intense desire to be free from this person's intrusion into their life. This desire is expressed in various ways throughout the song, including the lines "Get out of my way" and "I'll watch you fade away." Ultimately, the message of the song is one of strength and resistance, as the singer refuses to be put down by this other person's negativity.


Overall, "Shut Up" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt trapped by someone else's expectations or put down by their constant criticisms. It's a song that encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and refuse to be held back by the negativity of others.

Simple Plan taught me these life lessons since I was a kiddo:
-never change who you are and keep it real
-people were always there to judge you no matter how quiet or feisty or whatever you are. so just be yourself and don't give a damn.
-live your life to the fullest.
-feel free to commit mistakes but be open to correction.
-never make yourself anybody's fool.
-look out for those people who loves you and watch out for those who don't.
and more to add....

Your songs have a special place inside my emo heart. Thank you! 👊😃

@@octobergal Unless we`re saved, praying will be worthless, no single one shall be heard.
SALVATION, it must come 1st
sins of a lifetime, must get forgiven
soul must GO AND SIN NO MORE.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

1st we ask
then we seek
then we knock

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
