Shake It Off (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
This part is all about letting go of stress, doubts, or anything holding you back. It’s like telling yourself to shake off the negativity and just move forward with confidence and freedom.

[Verse 1]
Here, he’s saying that his charm and vibe are strong and natural, like a scent that grabs attention even if he tries to hide it. He knows how to draw people in without trying too hard. He embraces his wild, standout side and keeps gaining popularity. He believes it’s wrong to waste talent, so he uses his fully. Even in the past, he did things boldly, not necessarily to win, but to grow. He compares his growth and wisdom to Benjamin Button—getting sharper with time.

[Refrain]
He’s describing how he works nonstop, to the point where it’s exhausting. But instead of complaining, he finds joy even in his dreams. He’s full of energy and spontaneity, like cooking without a recipe. Wherever he goes, things heat up with excitement. He doesn’t care about rules or limits—he just wants to live free and bold.

[Pre-Chorus]
This part shows a strong bond between him and someone else—like a lock and key, perfectly matched. They share the same vibe or mindset, which keeps them close and in sync. Rocking “C.K” (possibly Calvin Klein) adds a stylish touch, and their shared energy is what keeps their connection solid. Again, he reminds them to shake off worries and just enjoy the ride.

[Chorus]
Once again, he’s encouraging himself and others to drop whatever’s weighing them down. Just shake it off and keep moving with a strong, carefree attitude.

[Verse 2]
Now he’s talking about how putting in effort every day adds to his charm. People cheer because his energy is intense and real. His simple style—a tight T-shirt—is his go-to look. He keeps pushing himself nonstop, like a machine. He won’t waste effort, just like he won’t waste talent. Even in the past, he took bold chances without fear, just to grow and become wiser, much like the Benjamin Button reference again.

[Refrain]
He keeps the focus on working hard and the toll it takes, but he still finds ways to enjoy life. He stays active, keeps doing things his way, and makes the atmosphere lively. He doesn’t care about restrictions—he’s aiming to be completely free, in both mind and actions.

[Pre-Chorus]
This again shows the tight connection between him and someone close. They get each other perfectly, with a shared style or spirit. Their bond is simple but strong, like a good recipe that just works. And once more, he encourages shaking off stress and holding onto what makes them feel connected.

[Chorus]
A repeated call to let go of stress, pressure, or negativity. Just shake it off and keep going, full of energy and self-belief.

[Refrain]
He’s sticking with the same message—he works hard, feels the burnout, but still finds fun and creativity. His energy heats up any space he’s in. He lives without worrying about others’ opinions, chasing his version of freedom.
