Story behind the song
I can only tell you how the title was inspired, Shellfish, close to selfish, as what this person is for trying to take the easy road out of life without me. And at the same time, it's a metaphor, cause this person has a shellfish type personality, that I need to crack to get through.
Side note:
The beat, by Slantize, was taken from one of my favorite genesis game, does anyone recognize it? Lol, fuck I'm a geek hahaha
Lyrics
“Matt Burton - Shellfish”
[ Verse 1 ]
I guess this goes to show you
what would happen if you died//
Give me the keys and please
don’t leave this world behind//
Monoxyde Suicides were
Always overrated//
So please don’t leave,
this world behind //
No I won’t
Sit it out with you next to me
Hear the clock tick
Just a waiting catastrophe//
I’m here
Never mind about apathy
Hold you right now
Till the end of your misery//
No you can’t
Just slip outta my hand, you see
If the clock stops
it’s the end of our history//
But whatever that you’ll do
just please, don’t you leave us all
[Chorus]
Cause I,
Can’t envision a world without you
Stop, think about
All the people that you love
Start to shout “Don’t do it!”
But They,
Don’t understand what you went through
Out with the doubt
that you know you gotta
Trust me without, Don’t do it
Lend my strength,
just to make you stronger
Stay with me
Just a little bit longer
Hold on, for me, hold on
I had to let you know
Lend my strength,
just to make you stronger
Stay with me
Just a little bit longer
No I can’t you go
[Verse 2]
I guess this goes to show you
What would happen if you died
Snap back the lid
And please don’t leave this world behind
Too close to overdose
can leave you so sedated
so please don’t leave
this world behind
No I won’t
Settle down with hypocrisy
Hear the clock tick
on the edge of calamity
I’m here
Just forget about agony
Don’t you go now
When you’re standing in front of me
I still can’t
Picture you in a coffin, see?
If the clock stops
Ill remember you admirably
But whatever that you’ll do
Just please don’t leave us all
[Chorus]
[Verse 3 – Singing]
( Don’t leave, Don’t leave us all behind x2)
I guess this goes to show you
What would happen if you died
Let go the lasso
free the knot up from your sides
This is the promises
You leave asphyxiated
Don’t run away,
and leave this world behind
You’re being selfish,
To think
That you’re leaving me in this world
Fuck that, I’m bringing you with me
face all of the problems that disturb
Most, but can’t faze us [no]
yeah, and they can’t faze me [no]
and they can’t faze you [no]
not when I’m through
[Chorus]
