Yes, this song is about having enough, but unlike most Linkin Park songs, this one's not got as general a meaning. This song was written out of frustration. LP were frustrated that writing the song Runaway was not going so well. Also, they've said that they were inspired by angry neighbours to write the bridge of Shut up, as they would rehearse in the rappers living room.

This song is most definitely not about anyone's girlfriend. Chester wrote this song when he was frustrated becuase he couldnt write anything and he finally got so mad he threw a bowl of fruit at the wall and wrote this song, which turned out to be their first hit. So the the songs really about being mad because of a frustrating situation.

The song is about teenagers. Or people who are mentaly sensitive like teenagers. You know the feeling every time your dad or mom keeps talking about how lazy/stupid/fat/ugly you are and brings you one step closer to the edge and goes insane.

To me this song is about pressure.Well..i really love this song cuz it reflects how i feel.My dad is always talking about how bad my life would be if i dont study hard.And if i work hard,i'll live in a world like heaven.So it's Heaven or Hell.And im really believing his words(and now im suffering from depression..:(..).The lyrics said"I'M ABOUT TO BREAK!"..I think it mean an emotional breakdown.Yea..the sad thing is Ive already "broke".And i think "less i hear the less you say" is what i should do when my dad was talking about my future.I shouldn't have listened to 'him.Hope i've made it clear.

L don't think it's exactly about a bully but it's when you've had enough of being nagged and talked at.
