StealingShad3z always comes up with something new and interesting be in pop-punk or softer, more alternative tracks like this one. Fresh from the new Ponies at Dawn: Skyward compilation album, Shut Me Up is a clever and emotional piece about Autumn Blaze and the Kirin. The tempo is moderately upbeat and juxtaposed nicely with somber overtones while both Shad3z and Agatan sing of the harsh reality that comes from not being able to speak to one another after a big fight.
