Hit
Discount Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the sky was loveless from the ground up
she's like neon signs and coffee
special personalities
television education
mechanical romance
hit me in the forehead
is a pain which is protection
against ever becoming part of the painfully obvious problem
obviously
you, me, someone, somebody
has their fingers crossed instinctually
a conversation about forgetting what it's like to be touched
falling asleep on your stomach
sharing dreams of acidic indigestion
we question in the morning
is this nauseous rendition of life
beyond this position
hit me in the forehead
a missile misdirected
is a pain which is protection
against ever becoming part of the painfully obvious problem
obviously
you, me, someone, somebody
has their fingers crossed instinctually
Discount's song "Hit" is a reflective piece about the daily struggles of life and relationships. The opening lyrics speak of a conversation after a long day of sidewalk aggravations, perhaps indicating the characters are tired and frustrated with their surroundings. The bleak description of the sky as "loveless from the ground up" sets a somber tone for the song. The female subject is described as "like neon signs and coffee," indicative of something bright and invigorating, but also artificial and fleeting. The mention of television education further highlights the theme of artificiality, as if the characters are being taught how to live through what they see onscreen rather than actual experiences.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "hit me in the forehead" several times, which can be interpreted in a few ways. It can be taken literally as a physical blow to the head, but more likely represents the idea of painful truths being necessary for growth. The missile metaphor is used, suggesting that sometimes things happen unexpectedly and without intention, causing us pain but also protecting us from becoming part of a larger problem. The final lines suggest that we all have a natural instinct to hope for the best and avoid the worst.
The second verse starts with a conversation about forgetting what it's like to be touched and falling asleep on your stomach, indicating the characters may be feeling disconnected or isolated from each other. They share dreams of acidic indigestion, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for life's difficulties and discomforts. The final lines question whether the current situation is "beyond this position," suggesting that the characters feel trapped or stuck in their current state. As with the first verse, the chorus repeats the idea of painful truths being necessary for growth and protection.
