It
Hit the Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are, we are, we are
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing

You said you wanted out,
But now you wanna go
You said you had a doubt,
But now you think you know
You are, you are, you are
About getting low

You said you wanted out,
But now you wanna go
You said you had a doubt,
But now you think you know
You are, you are, you are
About getting low

You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know

We are, we are, we are
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing

Tear the nails from your finger tips
And smear the blood across your lips
'Cause it's all the rage
With all the kids back home

While we wrap our blood around our wrists
Decorate the walls with our fists
Live life like it's hit or miss whoa

You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know

You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know

We are, we are, we are
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing

(We are!)
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing

You said you wanted out,
But now you wanna go
You said you had a doubt,
But now you think you know
You are, you are, you are
About getting low

You're dying for anything brand new
Hate feeling cheap,
But you love being used
You want out, but you take the abuse
'Cause it's all you know

We are, we are, we are
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing

(We are!)
Exactly what you want to be
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing




Where you've been and what you've done mean nothing
To me

The lyrics of Hit the Lights's song "It's All The Rage" highlight the pressure to conform to societal norms and be accepted by others. The repetition of "we are, we are, we are" emphasizes the desire to fit in and be what others want to be, without individuality or personal history mattering.

The lyrics "Tear the nails from your fingertips, And smear the blood across your lips" and "Decorate the walls with our fists" paint a picture of self-destructive behavior as a means of fitting in and being accepted, while the line "Live life like it's hit or miss" suggests a reckless and impulsive approach to life.


Overall, the song critiques the societal pressure put on individuals to conform and explores the negative consequences of such pressure. The lyrics empathize with the person portrayed in the song, acknowledging their struggles to break free from societal expectations, but at the same time highlighting the importance of valuing oneself and not sacrificing personal values for the sake of fitting in.

@@MC_Dough Unless we`re saved, praying will be worthless, no single one shall be heard.
SALVATION, it must come 1st
sins of a lifetime, must get forgiven
soul must GO AND SIN NO MORE.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

1st we ask
then we seek
then we knock

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

I want this era back!!! 😭😭😭 Could you believe that this cute little girl is 30 years old now?

@GotoMaki4Micah

i miss her disney days. she was so passionate and charismatic, she still had her real teeth, she looked like she wanted to be there. for many years now she looks bored tired and uninspired in her music and interviews. her new song with rema is a sleeper, even she looks tired or high.

@utkarshverma013

@@GotoMaki4Micah I agree. Nowadays Selena always looks like she's trying to push herself hard, hiding some pain inside her. She's been through a lot tho.
