Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shut up where are you going?
Don't you know I'm talking to you?
I said sit down, pay attention
All right then go to your room

Hey now don't you listen
How many times have I got to tell you
You know I could have been something

If I didn't have you

Shut up, get out of my way
And get out of here
Shut up, Get out of my way
And get out of here

Get up, Can't you do anything?
Don't you know you'll be late for school?
Come on, gather your things now
Try not to make look like a fook

Hurry I'm tired of waiting
Just wait till your father gets home
You should of, You should of

shut up, Get out of my way and get out of here
Shut up, Get out of my way, you don't know nothing at
All

Shut up, Get out of my way and get out of here
Shut up, Shut up get out of my wahy and get out of here
All you do is slow me down

Shut up, Get out of my way and get out of here
Shut up, Get out of my way, you don't know nothing at
All

Shut up, Get out of my way and get out of here
shut up, get out of my way, you don't know nothing at
All

Shut up, Get out of my way and get out of here
Shut up, Shut up get out of my way and get out of here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Shut Up" by Upo showcase a power dynamic between a frustrated authority figure (presumably a parent or guardian) and a rebellious child. The singer is attempting to discipline the child, telling them to stop talking and causing trouble. The parent is trying to assert their authority and make the child listen to them, telling them to sit down and pay attention. They also express regret, saying that they could have been something if the child didn't hold them back.

The child is depicted as resistant and disobedient, not listening to the parent's words and not taking their responsibilities seriously (such as being late for school). The parent threatens the child with consequences such as being sent to their room, waiting for the father to get home, and being punished for not following their instructions.

Overall, the song portrays a strained relationship between a parent and child, with the parent feeling held back and resentful towards the child for not obeying their authority.
