Shut Up
Total Downer Lyrics

Don't tell me I'm wasting my time
Please refrain from suggesting that I am squandering my time

Waiting for life to fall in line
Anticipating that life will align perfectly without any effort

Yeah, I get depressed
Occasionally, I experience feelings of deep sadness

And too sad to work hard
Resulting in a lack of motivation to exert significant effort

But not 'cuz
However, it's not because

I think it's really cool
I find it enjoyable or desirable

To feel like that
To experience such emotional state

(Huh)
(Expressing confusion or questioning)

Shut up, shut up
Cease speaking, refrain from expressing negative opinions

You think I'm stupid, don't ya?
Do you perceive me as unintelligent?

Look at me
Direct your gaze toward me

And tell me
Verbally inform me

You think I'm a good person, please
Share your belief regarding my moral character

Uh, yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation

Picking my nose, tell me the truth
While engaging in the act of excavating nasal contents, provide genuine feedback

Do I act dumb, do I look cute?
Do my behaviors portray foolishness, do I appear endearing?

What if I told you
Consider the hypothetical scenario where I revealed

I really don't care?
I possess a genuine lack of concern?

That's a lie
That statement is not truthful

I'm scared, I'm shy
I experience fear and reserve in social situations

I'm so obsessed with impressing ya
I have an intense preoccupation with creating a favorable impression on you

I remember the first time we met
Recalling the initial encounter between us

In real life (Really?)
In actuality, not in a virtual or imaginary context

And you tried to seem so sweet
You made an effort to project an image of kindness

And you gave me a little bit
You provided a small quantity

Of your green juice smoothie (Yeah)
Containing ingredients such as fruits and vegetables

And I asked you
I inquired from you

What's in this green juice smoothie? (Uh-huh)
Could you enlighten me regarding the constituents of this green juice smoothie?

And you wouldn't tell me (What?)
You refused to disclose the information to me

You made it sound like
You intentionally created the impression

There was some secret
That it contained confidential or undisclosed elements

(I don't know what you're talking about)
(Expressing ignorance or denying knowledge)

But I think it's cuz
However, I believe the reason is

You didn't really know what was in it
You lacked factual knowledge about its composition

I think you just bought it
My hypothesis is that you simply purchased it

From the market
At a local marketplace

Across the street (That's a lie)
On the opposite side of the road (That statement is not truthful)

And you just poured it
Subsequently, you emptied it

In a mason jar (That's a goddamned lie)
Into a glass container with a screw-on lid (That statement is an emphatic untruth)

To make yourself (No, it wasn't like that)
With the intention of presenting yourself (No, it did not happen that way)

Seem like a big deal
To appear significant or important

And you are one
Furthermore, you genuinely possess those qualities

And I'm mad about it
Consequently, I am greatly angered by this revelation

Shut up, shut up
I implore you to stop talking

You think I'm stupid, don't ya?
Do you hold the belief that I am intellectually deficient?

Shut up, shut up
I insist that you cease speaking

You think I'm stupid, don't ya?
Do you perceive me as unintelligent?

Shut up, shut up
Please stop talking

You think I'm stupid, don't ya?
Are you of the opinion that I lack intellectual capability?
