Shut Up
The Fires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me show what it's like
To give up
To misgive
To become something
That no one cares about at all
One day you'll be free
I know it ends eventually
You know you can't succeed
It's all
You know
To fail
Shut up
You know you won't concede
Free fall
Lower
Your veil
Stay here
And I'll show you past the light
Take my hand
It's so dark
It's all gone
It's all gone
One day you'll be free
I know it ends eventually
Shut up!
You know you can't succeed
It's all
You know
To fail
Shut up
You know you won't concede
Free fall
Lower
Your veil
Come here
Let me show you what it's like
It feels like one day was never meant for me
It feels like one day was never meant for me
Shut up!
You know you can't succeed
It's all
You know
To fail
Shut up
You know you won't concede
Free fall
Lower
Your veil
The lyrics to The Fire's song "Shut Up" convey a sense of frustration, resignation, and self-doubt. The singer is addressing someone, inviting them to come closer and experience the feeling of giving up, of being misunderstood, and of becoming insignificant to others. There is a sense that the person being addressed is struggling and feels trapped in a cycle of failure.
The repeated phrase "One day you'll be free" suggests a glimmer of hope, indicating that there may be an end to the struggles and hardships. However, there is also a sense of skepticism, as the singer acknowledges that this freedom may only come eventually, without specifying when.
The command to "Shut up!" serves as an exclamation and a reaffirmation of the person's perceived inability to succeed. It signifies a struggle with self-doubt and perhaps even an external voice discouraging them from pursuing their dreams. The line "It's all you know to fail" emphasizes a belief that failure has become ingrained in the person's mindset.
The reference to "lower your veil" suggests hiding one's true self or desires, which further adds to the feelings of self-doubt and resignation. The repetition of the phrase "It's all gone" speaks to a loss of optimism and a feeling of hopelessness that pervades the singer's perspective.
Ultimately, the song seems to explore themes of frustration, self-doubt, and the struggle to overcome obstacles. It conveys a sense of resignation about the challenges faced by the singer and the person being addressed, while also hinting at the possibility of eventual freedom from these burdens.
