Hit Da Floor
C.R.I.$.I.$. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Those tears you cry every night
Leave you feeling lost and alone
Lipstick stained face, just for me
But now you've left me
You took it all, all of the pills
Right before you hit the floor
Hit the floor
The floor

These lonely nights we spend together
Leave you feeling more alone
You took it all, all of the pills
You took it all, all of me
Hit the floor

Hit the floor
Hit the floor

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of C.R.I.$.I.$.'s song "Hit Da Floor" delve into the theme of despair and emotional turmoil. The opening lines, "Those tears you cry every night, leave you feeling lost and alone," paint a picture of someone who is constantly burdened by sadness. The following line, "Lipstick stained face, just for me," suggests that this person puts on a brave face and tries to mask their pain, possibly for their partner or loved ones. However, the next line reveals a sudden change in the relationship dynamics, as the person has left the singer, leaving them broken and empty.

The lyrics then shift to a darker tone with the lines, "You took it all, all of the pills, right before you hit the floor." This suggests that the person in question may have resorted to self-destructive behavior, potentially through drug abuse, as a way to cope with their emotional state. The repetition of "Hit the floor" emphasizes the intense impact and the gravity of the situation.

The chorus, "These lonely nights we spend together, leave you feeling more alone," highlights the paradoxical nature of a relationship that, despite being physically present, fails to provide emotional fulfillment. The repetition of "Hit the floor" in the chorus reinforces the idea that the pain experienced in this relationship is overwhelming and inescapable.

Overall, the lyrics of "Hit Da Floor" examine the profound emotional anguish caused by a failed relationship, depicting a sense of hopelessness and the destructive ways in which individuals may cope with their pain.
