Shut up

Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know if this is the right way
I'm too busy, walking in a straight line
I'm not sure if this is my way
I'm too dizzy, living in another time
I remember the silence
You were offering
To live the good life
All I was was tired

And I was angry
All for a gone life

Fight my way back,
Fight my way back
I'll fight my way back through the storm
Put some ice on the fire

You said shut up and sing
But you hear just what I'm thinking in my voice
You said shut up and sing
You say it like I ever had a choice
To have a voice.

I'm never gonna be a puppet again
I'll cut these strings right off my back
I'm going away before I go insane
I'll take voice and fight my way back
Fight my way back,
Fight my way back
I'll fight my way back through the storm
Put some ice on the fire
Fight my way back,
Fight my way back
I'll fight my way back through the storm
Put some ice on the fire
You said shut up & sing
But you hear just what I'm thinking in my voice
You said shut up & sing

You say it like I ever had a choice
To have a voice...
To have a voice...

I don't know if this is the right way
Uncertain if my path is correct

I'm too busy, walking in a straight line
Engaged in a relentless pursuit

I'm not sure if this is my way
Doubtful if this is truly my path

I'm too dizzy, living in another time
Feeling disoriented in a different era

I remember the silence
Recalling the absence of sound

You were offering
You provided the opportunity

To live the good life
To experience a life of happiness

All I was was tired
I was merely exhausted

And I was angry
Coupled with feelings of anger

All for a gone life
Invested in a past that no longer exists

Fight my way back
Struggle to regain my position

Fight my way back
Endeavor to reclaim what's lost

I'll fight my way back through the storm
Overcome obstacles and adversity

Put some ice on the fire
Attempt to cool down intense emotions

You said shut up and sing
You demanded my silence while performing

But you hear just what I'm thinking in my voice
Yet you perceive my thoughts through my singing

You say it like I ever had a choice
You speak as if I had control over it

To have a voice.
To possess the ability to express oneself

I'm never gonna be a puppet again
I refuse to be controlled like a puppet

I'll cut these strings right off my back
I will remove these constraints completely

I'm going away before I go insane
I'll distance myself to maintain sanity

I'll take voice and fight my way back
I'll reclaim my voice and strive to return

You said shut up & sing
You demanded my silence during performance

But you hear just what I'm thinking in my voice
Yet you discern my thoughts through my singing

You say it like I ever had a choice
You speak as if I had autonomy in this matter

To have a voice...
To possess the ability to express oneself
