Shut up

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo yo yo I feel right here
Slowly I'm breaking down
Feeling weak
I'm thinking about the
Higher ground I wish
To seek for the safeness
For the realness
Aw break it down
Simple for my people to hear this
For my people
Silent in the dark
I think I'm nutty
With your swords of emotions
Slashing and leave me bloody
Now I'm trippin
My problems turn to battles
I'm up shit creek
And guess what with out a paddle
6 years of age
Is when I first got my rage
My father broke out
And then I turned a new page of my life
The change but then I was crazy
And thanks to my mom
'cause she has stuck by
To raise me
I was fighting all the time
But with god help
Releasing all my tension
Through my knockin my hand
I'm coming out
I'm a freaked out cat
Coming out stony
And wet
Gonna be picking it up
For the boys who got slack in a band
Papa Roach four fingers
Of a hand
Retarded
Shut up n die




Shut up n die
I said you fucking die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Papa Roach's "Shut Up" can be interpreted as a representation of the band's struggles and hardships in their personal lives and music career. The opening lines "Yo yo yo I feel right here, Slowly I'm breaking down, Feeling weak, I'm thinking about the higher ground I wish, To seek for the safeness" convey the emotional and mental turmoil they may have been experiencing at the time.


The lyrics also touch upon acceptance and finding one's true self. Lines like "Now I'm trippin, My problems turn to battles" and "Coming out stony and wet, Gonna be picking it up" suggest a shift towards self-acceptance and the determination to better oneself. The mention of their childhood experiences and the support of their mothers further emphasizes the importance of family and support in their lives.


Interestingly, the song's title "Shut Up" was not originally intended to be the chorus or song title at all. The band's lead singer, Jacoby Shaddix, had become frustrated with a fellow band member during a recording session and exclaimed "shut up and die!" in anger. The phrase was then incorporated into the lyrics and became the song's title.

A symbolic gesture

Shut up n die
Stop talking and go away permanently


Shut up n die
Stop talking and go away permanently


I said you fucking die
I am angry and want you to disappear
