It's A Hit
■We Are Scientists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should have known that this would happen from the start
This kind of function's going to have to fall apart
I guess before I would have sworn that we were friends
And in this problem must award some logic trend

Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is

It's a hit
It's a hit
It's a hit

Well, there's only so much drama I can stand
This is just about as far as I will bend
So get your hands off my lapel because I think it's time to go
You ought to know that or you ought to know

And I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is

It's a hit
It's a hit
It's a hit

As I was falling down the stairs and out the door
Yes, I heard you yell my name, but I'm not sure
You know, before I could have sworn that we were friends
Somehow that's how these parties always seem to end

Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don't know what I did
All I really can tell is that
I always get hit

Well, I still don't understand what this whole thing's about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
I guess I might take it back, but I'm not sure what I did
All I know for a fact is

It's a hit




It's a hit
It's a hit

Overall Meaning

The song "It's A Hit" by We Are Scientists is a melodic and catchy rock tune that appears to be about a friendship-turned-romance that ultimately falls apart. The first verse describes the inevitability of the relationship's demise and the singer's confusion over what went wrong. They seem to be grappling with the idea that their friend had ulterior motives all along. In the chorus, the singer admits that they're not entirely sure what happened but something definitely went awry.


The second verse picks up with the singer reaching a breaking point and deciding that they've had enough of the drama. They push back against their friend's advances and attempt to leave the situation. The end of the verse and the bridge describe the singer physically leaving the party, presumably because things have become too uncomfortable. They mention that they heard their friend call their name, but they're not interested in hearing any more apologies or attempts at rekindling the relationship.


Overall, the song expresses a sense of confusion and frustration that many people can relate to when relationships that were once solid suddenly fall apart. The lyrics are poignant and the melody is infectious, leaving the listener feeling energized and ready for another listen.

That's the day when XETV-TV switch from Fox to The CW. They branded as "San Diego 6" two weeks earlier.
