It was a difficult time for him, but Justin is doing a lot better now. It seems like on this track, he describes the way it felt to get so much hate over him on such a young age – it’s the story from his perspective in which he shares his most honest feelings.
‘'Hit The Ground’‘ is only on the Japanese edition of Purpose.
Hit the Ground
Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay on down and let me rest my soul
I've been so high, I've been so low
I'm just tryna find my way back home
Can't help but roam
My signal's gone
Guess this journey's left me on my own
I'm alone, alone, alone
And if I could
Forget about the way you love me
Forget about the world we set in stone
I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open now
If only I could hit the ground
I never thought that I'd be broken
I never thought I'd be this far from home
I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open now
If only I could hit the ground
If only I could hit the ground
If only I could hit the ground
I close my eyes, I take it slow
Lay on down and let me rest my soul
I've been so high, I've been so low
I'm just tryna find my way back home
Can't help but roam
My signal's gone
Guess this journey's left me on my own
I don't care why
I'm alone, alone, alone
And if I could
Forget about the way you loved me
Forget about the world we set in stone
I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open now
If only I could hit the ground
I never thought that I'd be broken
I never thought I'd be this far from home
I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open now
If only I could hit the ground
If only I could hit the ground
If only I could hit the ground
Take it one day at a time
Reach for the stars now
Ooh just leave the past behind
That's a part of living, woah,woah
That's a part of living, woah, oh yeah
If only I could hit the ground yeah, eh, eh, eh, if only I could
If only I could hit the ground if I could hit the ground, right now, I would
If only I could hit the ground if I could hit the ground
Then I'd be falling down
Yeah, woah if only I could hit it ground if only I could hit the ground
Then I'd be touching down
Yeah, if only I could hit the ground
The lyrics of Justin Bieber's song "Hit the Ground" convey a sense of longing, vulnerability, and the desire for emotional release. The opening lines, "I close my eyes, I take it slow, Lay on down and let me rest my soul," paint a picture of someone seeking solace and comfort amid the chaos of life. They have experienced both highs and lows but are currently lost and trying to find their way back home, both literally and metaphorically.
The repetition of the phrase "I'm alone, alone, alone" suggests a deep sense of loneliness and isolation. They feel abandoned and disconnected, as indicated by the line "Guess this journey's left me on my own." However, there is a slight defiance in their indifference towards their solitude, indicating a willingness to embrace their current state.
The chorus expresses a yearning to forget past love and move forward. The line "I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open now" suggests a desire for clarity and a fresh start. They wish they could ground themselves, find stability, and let go of the pain they're currently experiencing. The idea of hitting the ground represents finding a sense of stability and being grounded emotionally.
Overall, "Hit the Ground" portrays a sense of longing for emotional healing and stability while acknowledging the challenges of moving on and finding oneself again.
