The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Shake It Off " by the artist "Walk Off The Earth"

Contents

Walk Off The Earth's "Shake It Off" is an anthem about ignoring the haters and living life to the fullest. The lyrics depict a protagonist facing criticism and gossip ("I stay out too late, got nothin' in my brain – That's what people say, that's what people say"). She's judged for being carefree and not conforming to relationship expectations.

However, instead of succumbing to the pressure and trying to please everyone, she chooses a different path – freedom of expression through dance. Dancing becomes her outlet to release negativity, forget her troubles, and simply enjoy the moment.

The song carries a positive message: it doesn’t matter what others say, what matters is staying true to yourself and your desires. The protagonist doesn’t waste time on anger or resentment; she simply "shakes off" all the negativity and moves on, inspiring listeners to do the same.

[Verse 1:]

I stay up too late, got nothing in my brain

That's what people say, that's what people say

I go on too many dates, but I can't make them stay

At least that's what people say, that's what people say

[Pre-Chorus:]

But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving

It's like I got this music in my mind sayin' it's gonna be alright

[Chorus:]

Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

[Verse 2:]

I'll never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet

And that's what they don't see, that's what they don't see

I'm dancing on my own, I'll make the moves up as I go

And that's what they don't know, that's what they don't know

[Pre-Chorus:]

But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving

It's like I got this music in my mind sayin' it's gonna be alright

[Chorus:]

Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

[Refrain 4x:]

I, I shake it off, I shake it off

I, I shake it off, I shake it off

[Interlude:]

Hey, hey, hey!

Just think while you've been getting down and out

About the liars and dirty, dirty cheats in the world

You could have been getting down to this sick beat

[Bridge:]

My ex-man brought his new girlfriend

She's like "oh my God", but I'm just gonna shake it

And to the fella over there with the hella good hair

Won't you come on over, baby, we can shake, shake, shake

[Chorus:]

Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break

And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

[Refrain 4x:]

I, I shake it off, I shake it off

I, I shake it off, I shake it off
