Hush
The Marias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't act so special
What I do is not for you
Forget about it
You made this mess
I'll knock at your door
Don't you ignore
Or forget about it
(Every night) got you runnin' in circles, I know
(Touchin' me) get your paws off my Dolce cologne
(Back it up) off my throne 'cause you know you wanna
(Make me) walk away and forget about it

Hush
(Forget about it)
Hush

Don't think you've made it
Under my skin
Could never get in
Forget about it
Don't talk so much
Your tongue is burning up
I've had enough
Forget about it

(Every night) got you runnin' in circles, I know
(Touchin' me) get your paws off my Dolce cologne
(Back it up) off my throne 'cause you know you wanna
(Make me) walk away and forget about it

Falling in my den
Full of lions, full of breath
Take the muzzle from their heads
I'm a sucker for revenge
I see you falling in my den
Full of lions, full of breath
I take the muzzle from their heads
I'm a sucker for revenge

Don't act so special
Don't act so good
Forget about it

(Every night) got you runnin' in circles, I know
(Touchin' me) get your paws off my Dolce cologne
(Back it up) off my throne 'cause you know you wanna
(Make me) walk away and forget about it

Hush
(You gotta keep it hush)
Hush




(You gotta keep it hush)
Hush

Overall Meaning

The Marias's song "Hush" is an assertive, confident response to a persistent pursuer. The singer is frustrated with someone who is trying to get under her skin and into her life, and she is determined to shut them down. She pushes back against their advances with lyrics like "Don't act so special" and "Don't think you've made it under my skin," asserting that what she does is not for this person - they aren't worth her time or attention. She also uses the phrase "forget about it" multiple times, suggesting that she is ready to move on and leave this person behind.


The chorus of the song, "Hush," feels like a mantra of sorts - a reminder to keep this situation under control and not let the other person get the upper hand. The repetition of the phrase "Every night" in the verses, coupled with the warnings to "back it up" and "get your paws off," make it clear that the singer is not interested in this person's advances. The bridge of the song adds a touch of danger and power to the mix, with imagery of lions and a declaration that the singer is a "sucker for revenge." Overall, "Hush" is a message to someone who is trying too hard - a reminder that they need to back off and keep their distance.
