The song that I have chosen is shut up by simple plan, this song symbolises who I am
Here are the lyrics:
There you go
You're always so right
It's all a big show
It's all about you
You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
To criticize me
It seems like every day
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do
You think you're special
But I know, and I know
And I know, and we know
That you're not
You're always there to point
Out my mistakes
And shove them in my face
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Is gonna bring me down
Will never bring me down
Don't tell me who I should be
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time
I'll watch you fade away
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Bring me down
{shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Firstly, I really like this song, the beat is really very nice!!!
Now on to the analysis:
First verse
There you go
You're always so right
It's all a big show
It's all about you
Analysis:
This verse already represents my personality.
"There you go You're always so right", this verse shows that I seem to be irritated by people who are very smart. In the next verse, “It’s all a big show It's all about you", it shows that I dislike people who are arrogant and seek to claim glory and credit.
Second verse:
You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
To criticize me
Analysis: You think that you know it all, you know every person's likes and dislikes, what they require and you always spend time to say my bad points and my weaknesses.
Third verse:
It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can't get it right
Analysis:
This verse shows how some people are like failures and just cannot do anything "right" and "make mistakes" "everyday" . This verse expresses how i feel sometimes so hopeless and stupid as I just have errors and cannot do anything right, getting bad marks for test, missing one mark to get the next grade etc.
Fourth verse:
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate
But not today
Analysis:
This verse shows that the person feels that he is being hated by the arrogant person. However, the next line "But not today" seemingly hint that the situation will be much more positive than before and everything will work out fine. Sometimes, i feel this way but i cheer up and hope for the better, showing that I am a optimistic person.
Fifth verse:
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Is gonna bring me down
Analysis:
The repetition in the line "so shut up, shut up, shut up" shows that the person is very annoyed or even angry with the arrogant person and wants him to shut up. In the next line, the line :Don't wanna hear it" shows that the person does not want to hear any explanations. Then, repetition is once again used in the next line "Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way", the person wants the arrogant person to get out of his way, he does not care about him anymore and wants to move on. In the next line, "Step up, step up, step up", the person wants himself to step up and have courage. Then, the writer writes "You'll never stop me", showing that he himself is brave and nothing will stop him.
Then, the writer writes
"Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
Is gonna bring me down"
, this shows that the he will be courageous and no insults by anybody will stop him on his way to success.
I am like that.
Sixth stanza:
There you go
You never ask why
It's all a big lie
Whatever you do
Analysis:
This shows that I often wonder myself why people's personality are like that.
Seventh stanza:
You think you're special
But I know, and I know
And I know, and we know
That you're not
Analysis:
I feel that the arrogant person is nothing great and has no unique qualities.
Eight stanza:
You're always there to point
Out my mistakes
And shove them in my face
Analysis:
This stanza describes the arrogant person as being really harsh who take every opportunity to make himself superior to me.
P.s.
The next few stanzas are repetitions so I will skip it since I have already covered it.
Next stanza:
Don't tell me who I should be
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time
I'll watch you fade away
Analysis:
The line "Don't tell me who I should be" shows that I don't like to be controlled and manipulated by people into doing what i don't want to be.
The next line, "And don't try to tell me what's right for me" shows that I don't like people to tell me my best interests, I know them myself perfectly, after all, i am myself.
The next line, “Don’t tell me what I should do" shows again that I am a free-willed individual who doesn’t like to be controlled into doing something which I actually hate.
The next line, “I don't wanna waste my time" shows that I am actually quite stubborn sometimes and actually refuse to listen to advice.
In the final line ,"I'll watch you fade away" shows that I believe that the arrogant person will eventually disappear, destroyed by his own arrogance.
This song shows who I am. Also, the person refers to myself and the arrogant person refers to diffferent people at different times as people will show some arrogance occassionally.
Parent comment:
I believe that this song symbolises who my son is although some words may be quite rude.
