Shout Lyrics

Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on In violent times You shouldn't have to sell your soul In black and white They really really ought to know Those one track minds That took you for a working boy Kiss them goodbye You shouldn't have to jump for joy You shouldn't have to jump for joy Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on They gave you live and in return you gave them hell As cold as ice I hope we live to tell the tale I hope we live to tell the tale Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on And when you've taken down your guard If I could change your mind I'd really love to break your heart I'd really love to break your heart Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on

Meaning of Shout

“Shout” is a raw and urgent plea for release amidst societal pressures and personal disillusionment. The repeated “Shout, Shout, Let it all out” urges the listener to confront overwhelming feelings – frustration, anger, and despair – particularly in "violent times" where individuals are expected to sacrifice their integrity. Tears for Fears’ message is one of defiance against conformity and exploitation; lines like “You shouldn't have to sell your soul” highlight a critique of those who compromise their values. The song builds towards an emotional crescendo, expressing vulnerability with the poignant admission that the speaker desires to "break your heart," suggesting a deep yearning for genuine connection amidst the chaos. Ultimately, it’s a call to reclaim agency and find strength in shared experience, urging listeners not just to endure but to actively express themselves – “Shout” – as a vital act of resistance and self-preservation.
