次はどんな言い訳するの?
またあの子の名前を出すの?
メールも返せないような時間を
共に過ごすのはどんな人?
シクロ! シクロ! シクロ! シクロ!
まだ知らないと思ってるの?
それでも演じ続ける good girl ?
僕は死んでも手にしないよ!
シクロ! シクロ! シクロ! シクロ!
Cause your life, Cause your mind
振り切るのなら (もうサヨナラ)
Cause your life, I'll Just Say
さぁ、実ることのない愛になんて
Good Bye!
君の本音をミタ
一人、孤独をシッタ
何も話さないでいい
静寂だけが優しい
Yeah this is how it goes
Here we go again Let's do it
Hey yo
check the way that you speak
and the way you sound
Being like a freak
invading my soul
また始まった
You' re pissin me off
僕は屈辱を味わった
ピカピカだった関係も
色々重ねジ・エンド
何も求めることなく生きてくんだ
君なしで、これからは
Please disappear 今すぐに
Get away 一人きり No more lies
Get out! (shut out!)

The lyrics of U-KISS's "Shut Up!!" depict the frustration and disappointment felt by someone who has been hurt by their partner's lack of commitment and dishonesty in a relationship. The opening lines roughly translate to "I saw those wet eyes, everything was a lie. What excuse will you come up with next? Will you bring up that person's name again? What kind of person spends time together, unable to even respond to a text message?" The repeated phrase "Shikuro" in the chorus means "cycle" in Japanese, suggesting that the singer is stuck in a cycle of pain and betrayal that they can't seem to break free from.
The lyrics also address the facade that some people put up to maintain a certain image, even when it goes against their true feelings. The lines "Do you still think you don't know it? Will you keep playing the role of a good girl? If that's what adult love looks like, then I don't want it even if I die!" show the singer's disillusionment with the idea of adults maintaining appearances instead of being honest and authentic about their emotions.
Overall, "Shut Up!!" is a fierce and unapologetic song about breaking free from a toxic relationship and prioritizing one's own well-being.
