Hit My Heart
Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These machines are always running
Like the rivers and the clocks
And these wheels don't get tired of turning
On and on and up and up
And everybody's going somewhere
Something's always going on
Barely blink, we might miss out
On so much laughter, so much fun
We want our names on all the lists
Don't really mind if they're misspelled
And if nobody takes a picture
We take pictures of ourselves

Look at us
Look how we shine
Look how we celebrate our time
The greenest grass
Right at our feet
Look how we skip from peak to peak

So we're drifting downstream
Exposed but unseen
All covered in exclamation marks
Give me something tender
Something I remember
A touch or a beat, a wave of heat
That hits the heart

It's hard to bear the sound of silence
So we get bored quite easily
Have you heard this song? I found it
Like it, like it, like me please
And we'll fast-forward to the chorus
Join the choir, spread the words
I'll take my finger off the trigger
Just take yours off the trigger first

Look at us
Look how we shine
Look how it eats up all our time

So we're drifting downstream
Exposed but unseen
All covered in exclamation marks
Give me something tender
Something I remember
A touch, a beat, a wave of heat
That hits the heart
A touch, a beat, a wave of heat
That hits the heart
That hits the heart
Come hit my heart

On and on and on

So we're drifting downstream
Exposed but unseen
All covered in exclamation marks
Give me something tender
Something I remember
Something I remember
A touch, a beat, a wave of heat
That hits the heart
A thought that sticks and flips the switch
And shakes me up
A little thing that I let in
A word that sparks




And hits my heart
Come hit my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boy's song "Hit My Heart" describe the frenzy of modern life, where everything is constantly moving and everyone is trying to keep up with the latest trends and events. The machines and wheels referenced in the opening lines represent the frenetic pace of society, which can be exhausting and overwhelming. Despite this, the song suggests that people crave attention and recognition, as seen in the desire to have their names on "the lists" and to take pictures of themselves. The chorus emphasizes the desire to be seen and admired, shining like a beacon and celebrating each moment, with the metaphor of "drifting downstream" suggesting that people are carried along by the current of life without much control over their direction or fate.


However, amidst this chaos, the song suggests that people also long for something deeper and more meaningful, represented by the plea for "something tender" and "something to remember." The final lines suggest that even the smallest gestures or moments can have a profound impact on the heart, and that this is what truly matters in life. Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the conflicting desires and pressures of modern society, challenging listeners to consider what they truly value and want in life.
