Get Up
Skrillex & Korn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am clearly broken
And no one knows what to do
Pieces of the puzzle don't fit
So I pound them into you

Itching is the pulse inside
Creeping out to come alive
It's just doing what it's gonna do

Times are looking grim these days
Holding on to everything
It's hard to draw the line

Shut the fuck up, get up
Shut the fuck up, get up
Shut the fuck up, get up

I can't wait to rip my eyes out and look at you
Peace through pain is precious
Especially when it's done by you

Itching is the pulse inside
Creeping out to come alive
It's just doing what it's gonna do

Times are looking grim these days
Holding on to everything
It's hard to draw the line
And I, I'm hiding in this empty space
Tortured by my memories
Of what I left behind

Shut the fuck up, get up
Shut the fuck up, get up
Shut the fuck up, get up

Times are looking grim these days
Holding on to everything
It's hard to draw the line
And I, I'm hiding in this empty space
Tortured by my memories
Of what I left behind

Shut the fuck up, get up




Shut the fuck up, get up
Shut the fuck up, get up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Skrillex & Korn's song Get Up are intense, raw and emotional - dealing with feelings of desperation, brokenness and the struggle to hold on. The singer confesses to being shattered and no one knowing what to do to help them put the pieces back together. The pieces are like puzzle pieces that don't quite fit, and the only way to make them fit is to pound them into the listener. The singer is struggling with their inner demons, which are creeping out to come alive. They wonder whether to give in to these impulses and let them take over or to hold on to everything that they have.


The chorus is a rebellious and angry yell, urging the listener to "shut the fuck up, get up". The repetition of this line is the battle cry against the singer's inner turmoil. The chorus also suggests that the singer's pain is only their own, and they want to release their pain by hurting someone else. The line "I can't wait to rip my eyes out and look at you" implies the singer wants to make someone else suffer by watching them suffer too.


The last verse of the song suggests that the singer is struggling to move on from a traumatic experience. They feel tortured by their memories and are hiding in an empty space, unable to escape the pain they've left behind. The line "It's hard to draw the line" highlights the difficulty in knowing when it's time to let go and move on or to keep holding on.

I am clearly broken
I am suffering emotionally and mentally


And no one knows what to do

This is musical heaven when you like both metal and dubstep

@swim_ad

SHUT THE FUCK UP
GET UP !

@johny.3400

I feel like deathcore would benefit a lot from dubstep.

@ashitpie.8329

@@johny.3400 I agree

@lorentzinvariant7348

Not a big fan of dubstep on its own but somehow bringing it and metal together as done here is brilliant.

@mandihollingsworth182

Yes!!!!!! It feels like liquid valium to my ears. Relaxing and relatable.

This entire album is so underrated, Get Up, My Wall, and Narcissistic Cannibal are such powerful songs.

Yeah people are just so far up their own asses when it comes to hating dubstep sometimes. I get not liking it for sure but some people are just intentionally obnoxious about other people who disagree with them.
