309
Hit the Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't take another step until you decide
What it is that you want and where you're sleeping tonight
It's no skin off my back or bones,
If you wanna go home then just say so...

Just say so long

Let go, of all that we've had
You know we've been down this road before
Pack your bags, dry your eyes
It's a long walk from my house to 309

Cry all you like kid,
It's no secret you faked it
And it's no skin off my back or bones,
If you wanna go home then just say so...

Just say so long

Let go, of all that we've had
You know we've been down this road before
Pack your bags, dry your eyes
It's a long walk from my house to 309

By the way that your eyes
Travel to the floor when you tell a lie
Like the way that your eyes
Travel to the floor when you tell a lie
By the way that your eyes
Travel to the floor when you tell a lie
Like the way that your eyes
Travel to the floor when you tell a lie...
Like right now

Let go, of all that we've had
You know we've been down this road before
Pack your bags, dry your eyes
It's a long walk from my house to 309





[repeat till end]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "309" by Hit the Lights tell a story of a broken relationship where the singer is urging their partner to make a decision on what they want and where they will be sleeping that night. The singer seems to have reached a point where they are done with the relationship and are ready to move on as they ask their partner to pack their bags and leave. The line "Cry all you like kid, it's no secret you faked it" suggests that the relationship was not built on trust and honesty, and that the partner has been lying or pretending throughout. The repetition of the line "Let go, of all that we've had, you know we've been down this road before" illustrates that this is not the first time they've gone through this cycle, and the singer is tired of it.


The chorus of the song also reflects the tone of the singer, who is fed up with the relationship and the constant back and forth. The long walk from the singer's house to 309 suggests a physical distance between them, but it also symbolizes the emotional distance that has grown between them. The repetition of the line "By the way that your eyes travel to the floor when you tell a lie" underscores the lack of trust in the relationship and the difficulty in maintaining a connection when honesty is not present.


Line by Line Meaning

Don't take another step until you decide
Pause and reflect on what you truly want and make a decision before moving forward


What it is that you want and where you're sleeping tonight
Figure out your desires and make arrangements for where you will rest tonight


It's no skin off my back or bones,
Your decision won't affect me physically or emotionally


If you wanna go home then just say so...
Be honest and communicate if you want to leave


Let go of all that we've had
Release our past experiences and memories


You know we've been down this road before
We've gone through this situation previously


Pack your bags, dry your eyes
Get your belongings and stop crying


It's a long walk from my house to 309
The distance from my home to where you are leaving is far


Cry all you like kid,
You can cry as much as you need to


It's no secret you faked it
It's obvious that you pretended or lied about something


By the way that your eyes travel to the floor when you tell a lie
Your eyes give away your dishonesty as they look downward


Like right now
At this moment, your eyes are giving away a lie
