Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside my home
I know how you are
I kept you close
That's on me now
That's on me now
That's on me now
By the blue lagoon
I knew I felt something
I didn't trust myself
I didn't trust myself
I let you inside my home
I let you inside my home
I let you inside my home
And I can't blame anyone 'cause
It's on me now
I guess it's on me now
I guess it's on me now
I played with fire, thinkin' I was too cold
I let you be a guest, now you wanna be a host
That's on me now
I know it's on me now
(Now, now, now)
Now (now, now, now)
Over but you're rollin'
I never let go when I shoulda let go
I'll let you come over, but you overdose
Let you come over, but you overdose
And that's on me now (yeah, hey)
I held you close (yeah, yeah)
I held you close (yeah)
See how it goes, I'll get it done (done)
I woke up, many vibes
I'm in my way
I'm than the moon, I'm on always
I held you close (close, yeah)
I held you close
(Let's go)
Yeah
Keep goin', keep goin'
Keep goin', yeah

The lyrics to The Shake-Up!'s song "Untitled" explore themes of regret, personal accountability, and the complexity of relationships. The singer reflects on the consequences of letting someone into their life and welcoming them into their home. They acknowledge that it was their own choice to trust and keep the person close, and now they bear responsibility for the negative outcomes that have arisen. The repetition of the lines "That's on me now, I guess it's on me now" emphasizes the weight of this realization and the ownership of their actions.
The mention of the blue lagoon alludes to a place of soothing beauty and tranquility. The singer admits to feeling something deep within themselves when they were in this state, but they didn't trust their instincts at the time. This suggests that they ignored their intuition and allowed the person into their life despite their reservations. The repeated lines "I let you inside my home" reinforce this point and highlight the vulnerability and openness the singer exhibited.
The lines "I played with fire, thinkin' I was too cold" express the singer's misguided belief that they could handle the situation without getting hurt. They let the person in, thinking they were emotionally detached enough to avoid any impact, but now recognize they were mistaken. The reference to letting the person be a guest who now wants to be a host suggests that the boundaries were blurred, and the person has taken advantage of the singer's hospitality and trust. The repetition of "That's on me now" and "I know it's on me now" underscores the singer taking ownership of their choices and the consequences that have ensued. The conflicting emotions of longing and missing the person is also expressed towards the end of the lyrics.
Overall, "Untitled" conveys a sense of remorse and introspection, with the singer acknowledging their role in their own downfall and expressing a desire to learn from their mistakes.

I let you inside
I allowed you to enter and be part of my life
Inside my home
Within the intimate space of my personal life
I know how you are
I am aware of your true nature
I kept you close
I maintained a close relationship with you
That's on me now
I take responsibility for the consequences of my actions
By the blue lagoon
In a specific location where I experienced a particular feeling
I knew I felt something
I had an intuition or emotional sensation
I didn't trust myself
I lacked confidence in my own judgment
And I can't blame anyone 'cause
I cannot hold others accountable for the situation
I played with fire, thinkin' I was too cold
I took risks, believing I was immune to the potential dangers
I let you be a guest, now you wanna be a host
I allowed you a temporary position in my life, but now you want to take control
I let you come over, but you overdose
I permitted your presence, but you took it to an excessive and harmful level
Now you gotta listen, babe
Now it's your turn to pay attention and understand
I'm soon gonna save my, save myself
I am determined to prioritize my own well-being and rescue myself
You got me in some heat
You have put me in a difficult or uncomfortable situation
I miss you
I long for your presence and connection
