Shutdown
Rising from Silence: Unveiling the Resilient Spirit in Pitchshifter's 'Shutdown'
Lyrics
Was it something I said? But I don't even know you
Expressing confusion about causing offense without knowing the person.
Was it something I did? If it was then just tell me
Asking for direct communication if there was a specific action that caused an issue.
If you show me no soul then you give me no reason
Linking the absence of connection (soul) to a lack of motivation or justification.
Stand up straight when I walk, you can see me?
Asserting self-awareness and seeking acknowledgment.
Kick all the dust that you want you know you're never gonna
Defying attempts to diminish or degrade, indicating resilience.
Shut us down, we'll just get back up again
Emphasizing the refusal to be silenced or defeated.
And if you shut us down, we'll just get back up again
Reiterating the determination to overcome obstacles.
If I gave you the tools could I temper my freedom?
Contemplating whether empowerment and freedom come with responsibilities.
If I suffered the fools would you let me succeed in
Questioning if enduring challenges would lead to success.
Constructing my soul, should I give you the reason?
Considering the purpose of self-construction and the need to justify it.
Stand up straight when I walk, you can see me?
Reiterating the importance of being seen and acknowledged.
Kick all the dust that you want you know you're never gonna
Defying attempts to tarnish one's image or worth.
Shut us down, we'll just get back up again
Emphasizing the resilience to bounce back after challenges.
And if you shut us down, we'll just get back up again
Reaffirming the commitment to rise again after any setback.
No matter what you say, we're gonna get back up again
Asserting the determination to overcome challenges, regardless of external opinions.
No matter what you do, we're gonna stand up straight again
Declaring the intention to maintain one's integrity despite external pressures.
No matter what you say, we're gonna get back up again
Reiterating the commitment to rise again, emphasizing resilience.
No matter what you do, we're gonna stand back up again
Stating the resolve to stand tall and recover from adversities.
Shut us down, we'll just get back up again
Reaffirming the resilience to recover after being suppressed or shut down.
And if you shut us down, we'll just get back up again
Reiterating the determination to bounce back after any attempt to silence or hinder.
