shut up
Sky-Fi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So she told me
I don't want to lose you to the stars, or push you back into my arms
I'm familiar with the scars
But I'm lonely
Don't want to choose you or the dark, I'm a prison but the bars
Are the bottom of a bottle
That I'm holding
Oh I wish it was your body, wish I wasn't such a sucker
Stuck inside this selfish struggle
For my own means
I've been meaning to survive, past survival when I thrived by you

So just shut up and hold me
'Cause dammit I'm folding
If you swear that you know me
Then it's better we don't speak
Just shut up and hold me
Just give me the moment
I went from loving you so deep
To having you stolen
I need you to hold me

Like maybe for a second, I can finally take a breath and
Catch a vision of the version that I won't be
While I'm choking on emotions I'm incapable of focusing
On anything - so shut up and hold me
And don't let go

Hold me
'Cause dammit I'm folding
If you swear that you know me
Then it's better we don't speak
Just shut up and hold me
Just give me the moment
I went from loving you so deep




To having you stolen
I need you to hold me

Line by Line Meaning

So she told me
She confided in me


I don't want to lose you to the stars, or push you back into my arms
I'm afraid of losing you to ambition or suffocating you with love


I'm familiar with the scars
I've been hurt before


But I'm lonely
I'm still feeling isolated despite being with you


Don't want to choose you or the dark, I'm a prison but the bars
I don't want to choose between being with you or being alone in my sadness


Are the bottom of a bottle
Alcohol is my coping mechanism


That I'm holding
I'm holding on to my addiction


Oh I wish it was your body, wish I wasn't such a sucker
I want your comfort instead of relying on unhealthy habits


Stuck inside this selfish struggle
I'm trapped in a cycle of putting my own needs before others'


For my own means
To benefit myself


I've been meaning to survive, past survival when I thrived by you
I want to move on from just surviving and thrive with you again


So just shut up and hold me
Stop talking and comfort me physically


'Cause dammit I'm folding
I'm about to break down


If you swear that you know me
If you claim to understand me


Then it's better we don't speak
We should just be quiet and let me feel your support


Just give me the moment
Allow me to have my breakdown and be there for me


I went from loving you so deep
I used to love you very deeply


To having you stolen
But someone took you away from me


I need you to hold me
I need your physical comfort to help me through this


Like maybe for a second, I can finally take a breath and
Maybe with your comfort, I can have a moment of peace


Catch a vision of the version that I won't be
I can see myself being free from my current struggles


While I'm choking on emotions I'm incapable of focusing
But right now, I'm overwhelmed and can't process my feelings


On anything - so shut up and hold me
So just be here with me and let me feel your presence


And don't let go
Just hold me until I feel safe and secure again
