Shutdown is the third song released by Joywave from their second album, Content. Daniel expresses the emotional strain of the long touring cycle that followed the release of their first record, and examines the struggle to get back into the rhythm of “normal life” upon returning home from tour.
[Verse 1]
Take
Take in a deep breath
Get in a little rest
Yeah, you're safer here than you were out there
[Pre-Chorus]
So feel those feelings that you used to have
Feel those feelings again or at least pretend
[Chorus]
Shut it down
Get carried away
Solid ground
Is here to stay
[Verse 1]
Think
Think for a moment
Just don't analyze
Yeah, the smartest folks are the saddest I know
[Pre-Chorus]
So feel those feelings that you used to have
Feel those feelings again or at least pretend
[Chorus]
Shut it down
Get carried away
Solid ground
Is here to stay
[Chorus]
Shut it down
Get carried away
Solid ground
Is here to stay
[Bridge]
Yeah, the smartest folks are the saddest I know
[Chorus]
Shut it down
Get carried away
Solid ground
Is here to stay
[Chorus]
Shut it down
Get carried away
Solid ground
Is here to stay
