No Filter
Hit the Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I might be alone but I'm over it (I'm over it)
So much to say with no time to waste (no time to waste)
My only regret, it's not to your face (to your face)
You ended it strangely without a word said
Never replied, never had a chance
For every night I slept myself sick wondering what I did
This is goodbye, I hope you fucking choke on it
You know I thought we had it all
What was it really about?
But you keep building your walls
Tell me who's missing you now (whoa, oh, oh, oh)
Who's missing you now? (Whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Should I be surprised? Angry? Upset? (Angry, upset)
There's always another girl to regret (regret)
I could just fall right off the deep end (deep end)
Drowning myself in all this drinking (all this drinking)
'Cause I'm in control, I'm in a good place
Trying hard to erase, memories of your taste
All your favorite songs, were never that good
Wishing somehow I could take it all back
And turn that goddamn radio off
You know I thought we had it all
What was it really about?
You keep building your walls
Tell me who's missing you now (whoa, oh, oh, oh)
Who's missing you now? (Whoa, whoa, oh, oh)
Nobody's missing you now (whoa, oh, oh, oh)
I slept myself sick every night but I'm over it (I'm over it)
You crave acceptance from strangers through pictures and filters
Attention from people who don't know you
And now that it's over, how many will be there to pick you back up?
'Cause I see right through (I see right through)
I know the real you (I see right through)
You know I thought we had it all
What was it really about?
You keep building your walls
Tell me who's missing you now? (Whoa, oh, oh, oh)
Who's missing you now? (Whoa, oh, oh, oh)
Nobody's missing you now (whoa, oh, oh, oh)
I slept myself sick every night but I'm over it
(Build your personality) who's missing you now?
(Take another picture) nobody's missing you now
I slept myself sick every night but I'm over it
The lyrics to Hit the Lights's song "No Filter" describe the pain and frustration of a relationship that ended poorly. The singer is clearly hurt by how the relationship ended, and he's trying to move on. He admits that he's still thinking about the girl and what he could have done differently, but he's also angry and resentful. He's tired of listening to all the songs they used to enjoy together, and he's tired of wondering what went wrong.
The chorus confronts the girl who ended the relationship, asking who's missing her now that she's gone. The implication is that nobody is, and that she's better off without the singer in her life. However, he's also critical of her reliance on social media and the validation she seeks through it. He accuses her of craving "acceptance from strangers through pictures and filters," suggesting that she's not as well-liked or well-regarded as she may think.
Overall, "No Filter" is a raw and honest song about the pain of a relationship ending badly. The lyrics are straightforward and relatable, and the chorus is catchy and powerful.

Nobody's missing you now (whoa, oh, oh, oh)
No one's really missing you anymore

This band and this song never gets old, I can’t even count the times I’ve listened to this song, hit the light and thief club are sick bands, summer bones, and skip school start fights forever!
Robert Jay Reyes

People can't get punk is a lifestyle not a genre

Such a dope jam, Hit the Lights has got to be one of the most consistently good bands in the scene. Summer Bones was an incredible record and I can't wait for the acoustic EP.
Andrew Ferren
So good. They seriously deserve to blow up, because they are talented and have been doing this long enough to have it happen.
Jono Bennett
I forgot how much I loved these guys.
Ty
