Lyrics

Shut up shut up

Expression of a desire for silence

I wanna hear that pin pricking

Desire to hear a sound as delicate as a pin pricking

Shut up shut up

Reiteration of the desire for silence

I wanna hear that nail scrape

Desire to hear a harsh sound like a nail scraping

Shut up shut up

Reiteration of the desire for silence

Up your insipid voice

Expression of dislike for a dull, uninteresting voice

Shut up shut up

Reiteration of the dislike for a dull voice


Is that your glass heart clinking?

Questioning if the sound is the clinking of a fragile, easily breakable heart

I want to go to bed every second

Desire to sleep constantly

Wrap your arms around your kitty

Encouraging self-embrace or comfort

She won't cuddle up to your disgusting feet

Pointing out a lack of affection from someone (kitty) towards unpleasant qualities

She's not the only one who won't

Generalizing that others also avoid the person


The gamecube is on

Reference to a gaming console being turned on

Its tender buttons hide

Describing the concealed, delicate nature of the buttons on the console

Crazy is the place your gigantic fat body fits

Comment on the surprising fit of a large body in a particular space

Crazily it fits into any bed

Emphasizing the unexpected adaptability of the body in various beds

Shut up shut up

Reiteration of the desire for silence

I wanna hear that pin pricking

Reiteration of the desire to hear a delicate sound

Shut up shut up

Reiteration of the desire for silence

I wanna hear that nail scrape

Reiteration of the desire to hear a harsh sound

Shut up shut up

Reiteration of the desire for silence

Up your insipid voice

Expression of dislike for a dull voice

Shut up shut up

Reiteration of the dislike for a dull voice


Is that your glass heart clinking?

Questioning if the sound is the clinking of a fragile heart

What's done is done

Recognition that certain actions are irreversible

It cannot be undone

Affirmation that the past cannot be changed

What's done is done

Reiteration that the past is unchangeable

It cannot be undone

Acknowledgment of the permanence of past actions

What's done is done

Reiteration of the permanence of past actions
