Nice Guys
Hit Me TV Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No need to rewrite
Not even in spite
Not even a girl that you might really like
The battle was won
It was won by both sides
Not even the smell of the grease of the guns
Hush now baby
You'll get married

We're nice guys
We're damn nice
We hand you free advice

They don't really care
They just like to stare
They just like the look of disdain in your eyes
And once they were great
Still they are fine
Not they make sure that you don't break in line
Hush now baby
Mine is yours is mine

We're nice guys,
Were damn nice,
We hand you free advice

And in your dreams
You perish light
You're really there
And in your dreams
You don't need to pick a fight
It's good advice
So you don't know where you'll end up tonight

We're nice guys,
Were damn nice,




We hand you free advice
My mom says I'm damn nice

Overall Meaning

The song "Nice Guys" by Hit Me TV delves into the complex issue of toxic masculinity and how it affects society. The lyrics suggest that there is no need to change or pretend to be someone else just to impress someone, yet many men feel compelled to do so. The first two lines, "No need to rewrite, Not even in spite" imply that trying to be something you're not or trying to change yourself for someone else is not necessary. The line "Not even a girl that you might really like" highlights the fact that many men feel like they need to change themselves to win over a woman.


The song then goes on to address the idea of a never-ending battle between men and women. The line "The battle was won, it was won by both sides" suggests that there is no winner or loser in love, rather both sides need to compromise and work together. The line "Not even the smell of the grease of the guns" references the idea of the war between the sexes which has been going on for generations.


The chorus "We're nice guys, we're damn nice, we hand you free advice" pokes fun at the stereotype of the "nice guy" who expects to be rewarded for being nice to women. It highlights the fact that some men think that simply by being nice, they are entitled to the affection of women. The song suggests that this is not the case.
