Bodybag
Hit the Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
For your friends to hold on to
When they find you cold and blue tonight,
Face down in a parking lot.
Next time around, think about what you say
Cause you're all alone and you're nothing
Without your friends now.
You can tell the pavement what you really said
But I already know.
You got another thing coming if you think you're walking home.
This time I'm waiting here for you, you got nowhere to hide
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
For your friends to hold on to
When they find you cold and blue tonight,
Face down in a parking lot.
Here's a question.
What do you do when you're all alone
And you have nowhere to run to, swear I'll find you.
And this is what I'll do; I'll take it slow (I'll take it slow)
Just to let you know that we're not playing, you're not walking home.
This time I'm waiting here for you, you got nowhere to hide
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
For your friends to hold on to
When they find you cold and blue tonight,
Face down in a parking lot.
Did you think that you had something to prove,
Well you do yea, you do yea.
Did you think that you had nothing to lose,
Well you do so you think you're walking home.
This time I'm waiting here for you, you got nowhere to hide
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
For your friends to hold on to
When they find you cold and blue tonight
(Next time around, think about what you say
Before you run your mouth.
Cause you're all alone and you're nothing
Without your friends now)
You're gonna need a bodybag,
I'll break bones you didn't know you had.
When I'm done there will be nothing left of you
For your friends to hold on to
When they find you cold and blue tonight,
Face down in a parking lot.
The lyrics to Hit the Lights's song Bodybag are quite violent and ominous, suggesting that the singer is going to physically harm someone and leave them for dead in a parking lot. The chorus repeats the line "You're gonna need a bodybag, I'll break bones you didn't know you had" several times, emphasizing the brutality of the situation. The singer is clearly seeking vengeance, and the lyrics imply that they have been wronged in some way by the person they are addressing.
The second verse serves as a warning for the person to think before they speak, as the consequence of running their mouth could lead to the violent outcome expressed in the chorus. The lyrics also suggest that the person may have previously relied on their friends for protection, but in this case, they are alone and vulnerable. The bridge of the song is particularly unsettling, as the singer describes stalking their target and slowly inflicting harm upon them.
Overall, the lyrics to Bodybag are dark and sinister, portraying a disturbingly violent scenario that leaves the listener feeling uneasy. While the song does not condone violence, it does suggest that there are consequences for one's actions and words.

This is not a game, and you won't be making it back home tonight.
Did you think that you had something to prove,
Do you feel like you have something to prove to me?

Did you think there were no consequences for your actions?
Well you do so you think you're walking home.
You do have something to lose, and you won't make it back home in one piece.

No life till leather
We're gonna kick some ass tonight
We got the metal madness
When our fans start screaming it's right, well alright
When we start to rock we never
Want to stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
We know our fans are insane
We're gonna blow this place away
With volume higher
Than anything today, the only way
When we start to rock we never
Want to stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
With all our screaming
We're gonna rip right through your brain
We got the lethal power
It's causing you sweet pain, oh sweet pain
When we start to rock we never
Want to stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights

It's crazy how this is nostalgic now when back then this was the norm. Man I miss the 90's and early 2000's. Will always be an emo/scene kid at heart.

Summersong
One of the few bands that sounds better live...and they sound pretty darn good recorded :)

to me its not the lyrics that are scary, but the tone of the song that the music is so happy and chipper like its a song you would whistle whilst burying your dead body.
Heinsie Schmitz
