Hard‐Fi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been telling lies and you're gonna crash and burn
The music's loud try to forget, the things you did, the things you said
Try to lose myself into the crowd, people here are jumping, people freaking
Out
Hold out, 'cause everything will come my way
Come on, 'cause I'm only gonna tell you one more time
So if you're ready come on
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on come on bring it on
'Cause I'm the winner and the winner stays on
If you want trouble it's coming your way
If you wanna war you've only gotta say
But you can't stop, once you start me up
Gonna take you out, gonna fuck you up
Hold tight, cos someone's gonna take you down
Hold out, cos everything will come my way
Come on, cos I'm only gonna tell you one more time
So if you're ready come on
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on come on bring it on
'Cause I'm the winner and the winner stays on
So when you come to rip my heart out
I'll be waiting in my armor
'Cause ever since I was a small boy
It's always been like this
You gotta try a little harder
'Cause I won't let go, I won't let you no
So when you're ready come on
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on come on bring it on
'Cause I'm the winner and the winner stays on
So if you're ready come on
Take me on, bring it on, bring it on come on bring it on
'Cause I'm the winner and the winner stays on
Go get your army, go get your guns
Gonna take you down, gonna take you on
The lyrics of Hard-Fi's song "Bring It On" are a remarkable display of the confidence and resoluteness of the singer. The first verse warns against making promises that cannot be fulfilled, "don't write checks that you can't cash," and foretells the imminent doom of a liar. The singer then seeks refuge in the loud music, trying to forget the misdeeds and words said by others. As they lose themselves in the crowd, they find solace in the energy of the people jumping and freaking out.
The chorus is a clear affirmation of the singer's self-belief, signifying that they are ready to take on any challenge or trouble that comes their way. They proclaim themselves to be the winner and vow to stay on top. The following verses serve as a warning to anyone who dares to cross them. They are not afraid of picking a fight and promise to take down anyone who comes at them. The singer acknowledges that someone will eventually take them down, but they hold out hope that everything will come their way.
The song is a strong call to action and a demonstration of resilience in the face of life's challenges. The singer exudes an unwavering spirit of determination and self-assuredness that is both empowering and admirable.

Had this on my playlist when I ran a half marathon, man it pumped me up when it came on, energised the hell out of me. Fond memories! bought the album pretty much when it came out; Killer Sounds. One of my favourite albums! Fire in the house, bring it on, give it up, Stay alive were my favourite tracks but overall quality album :D!

Love Hard Fi & this song is epic. Use to see Richard & Kai socially in Staines back in 05-07 in a bar , Richard was always polite and charming to chat about music even though it was his night our away from the business. I’m gutted they’re no longer making music together but I’ve heard they’re on a ‘hiatus’ but that’s been 5 years now. I guess they think they’re too old now to be singing teen/20’s anthems . Fuck it I’m long past my 20’s and I love singing their songs
