It's All the Rage
Hit the Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 lines "You're dying for anything brand new, Hate feeling cheap, But you love being used" suggest that the person portrayed in the song is willing to sacrifice their own values and sense of self-worth to be part of something new and exciting, even if it means being taken advantage of. 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.
