Tears For Fears - Shout Meaning

Song Released: 1984
Shout Lyrics
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
In violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black...

It talks about a desperate need of freedom in a world where your role is set even after being born. A world that expects you to be a productive worker and bear with all the pain and the anxiety in silence. A need to shout, to give all this loneliness away. Because it is not right that you have to break up with the life they expect you to live so as to enjoy yourself, it is not fair for you to be afraid of losing everything and dissappoint people around you if you choose another way to live. Happiness and life should be simplier, feeling free should be easier
-
Somehow the "protest" interpretation, even though it comes from the band themselves, doesn't fully cut it
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
This song is about protesting
