Over the following years, their expertise has seen them write and produce for the likes of Kygo, Ellie Goulding, Craig David, Blonde, Partynextdoor, Alma, Felix Jaehn, Steve Aoki, Adam Lambert and many more, delivering flawless singles time and time again.

Having consistently proven their talent behind the scenes, last year the hotly tipped quartet decided the time had come to step out from the shadows and launch their own solo project. Crafting their own unique fusion of future bass and urban pop music, laced with live instrumentals, their debut single ‘I’m In Love With The Coco’ effortlessly encapsulates this inimitable sound and is sure to give the foursome the recognition they deserve.

Cut The Cord
Hitimpulse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watched you go, one foot out the door
But looking over your shoulder, shoulder
I lost control of everything I've known
But I just wanna hold ya, hold ya

Can't change it, can't make this nightmare go away
Cause I don't even sleep, I'm wide awake

I've just gotta do it, I shouldn't overthink it
On the count of 1, 2, 3, I'll go ahead and cut the cord
Maybe in the ruins, I'll finally see the reason
So on the count of 1, 2, 3, I'll go ahead and cut the cord

I've just gotta do it, I shouldn't overthink it
On the count of 1, 2, 3, I'll, I'll go ahead and cut the cord

Don't even bother, there's no in-between
So please don't make it harder, harder

Can't change it, can't make this nightmare go away
Cause I don't even sleep, I'm wide awake

I've just gotta do it, I shouldn't overthink it
On the count of 1, 2, 3, I'll go ahead and cut the cord

Go ahead and cut the cord

I've just gotta do it, I shouldn't overthink it
On the count of 1, 2, 3, on the count of 1, 2, 3

Maybe in the ruins, I'll finally see the reason
So on the count of 1, 2, 3, I'll go ahead and cut the cord

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hitimpulse's "Cut The Cord" depict a situation where the singer is watching someone they care about leave them. The first line, "I watched you go, one foot out the door" sets the scene of the person leaving. However, the person leaving turns back to look over their shoulder, which could be interpreted as them still having some emotional attachment to the singer. This leaves the singer feeling like they've lost control of everything they know, but all they want is to hold the person who's leaving.

Despite their desire to hold onto the person, they know they need to let go because there's nothing they can do to make their situation better. They're living through a nightmare that they can't escape because they're wide awake, indicating that it's not just a physical nightmare, but an emotional one. The singer tries to convince themselves that they shouldn't overthink the situation and just cut the cord. However, they acknowledge that in doing so, they'll be left with ruins from which they can finally gain perspective on why this situation had to end.

Overall, the lyrics portray a sense of inner turmoil in coming to terms with a situation outside of one's control. The singer tries to convince themselves to make the difficult decision to let go and move on.

I can't change what's happening, no matter how much I want to.

Please don't make it more difficult than it already is.

Go ahead and cut the cord
Just do it, cut the ties holding you down.
