Full Throttle
Hard Target Lyrics

Mason Jar you can feel it when you twist off
We are now approaching lift off
Stay off the porch if you're not running with the big dogs
We about to tear this thing to pieces like a jigsaw




Overall Meaning

In the beginning of Hard Target's song Full Throttle, the lyrics refer to a mason jar and the sensations one can feel when twisting it off. The mason jar is a symbol of Southern Americana and is often used to store homemade preserves or moonshine. By referencing the mason jar in the lyrics, Hard Target is tapping into his Southern roots and invoking feelings of nostalgia and connection to a simpler time. As he continues, he declares that they are now approaching lift off - this can be interpreted as a metaphor for the start of the party or the wild ride that is about to begin.


The next line, "Stay off the porch if you're not running with the big dogs" is a warning to those who are not prepared to keep up with the intensity of the night. To "run with the big dogs" means to be fearless, unafraid of any challenges, and to strive for success. The final line, "We about to tear this thing to pieces like a jigsaw" is a declaration that the party is about to go to another level. The use of the jigsaw puzzle as a metaphor for the wild night is a creative way of showing that the pieces (people) are about to come together in an explosive way.


Line by Line Meaning

Mason Jar you can feel it when you twist off
Opening up a Mason Jar is satisfying as you can feel it loosen as you twist the lid, much like the anticipation building as we approach a thrilling event.


We are now approaching lift off
Like a rocket taking off, we're at the cusp of reaching great heights and success.


Stay off the porch if you're not running with the big dogs
If you can't handle the intensity and intimidation of being with the best, then stay away, this is not for the faint-hearted.


We about to tear this thing to pieces like a jigsaw
We're going to destroy everything in our path until it's completely broken down into tiny pieces, much like a jigsaw puzzle being disassembled.
