Lit
LAY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me, good?
You make an answer
Look at me, good?
You know what I'm saying
想打倒我?
What do you want from me?
They got all eyes on me
莲花

站立在下一个level
准备好拥有我title
肮脏都视而不见
出淤泥不染的莲
路我还在走
从不曾回头
就去到下一个level
Now we go

Take, take, take
No one beat me down
Take, take, take
Play another round
Take, take, take
就打我不倒
Take, take, take
我走我的道

I am the 莲
Lit, lit, lit
I am Lit
Lit

太多人分不清对错
信仰缺失才会困惑
谎话太多都被骗过
传言都当作真相来传播

一路险阻到了现在
陈词滥调你的念白
不要再来异想天开
King从来都不会倦怠

I am the king
在音乐王国
亲吻我的ring
这就属于我
戴上我的crown
I got the power
You know it
I got the power
You know it
I got it, woah

太多人想把我绊倒 (绊不倒)
太多人在指手画脚 (No, no, no, no)
太多人都在那排队等
就是出淤泥不染 你看好
You wanna fight and we having a fight
Time will decide but you know I survive
Music, my arena
Feeling the vibe?
Taking China to the world (You should know)

I am the 莲
Lit, lit, lit





I am the 莲
I am Lit

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to LAY's song "Lit" convey a sense of confidence, resilience, and defiance in the face of adversity. The song begins with the repetition of "Look at me, good?", emphasizing the artist's desire for recognition and understanding. LAY then questions those who want to bring him down, challenging their intentions and declaring that all eyes are on him. The Chinese phrase "莲花" (lián huā), which translates to "lotus flower," is used symbolically throughout the song. The lotus flower represents purity and resilience, as it grows in muddy waters but remains unaffected by its surroundings.


LAY asserts his position of power and success, stating that he is ready to take the next step and claim his title. He dismisses the negativity and obstacles, emphasizing that he keeps moving forward without looking back. The lyrics also touch upon the confusion and lack of belief in oneself that can arise when surrounded by dishonesty and rumors. Despite the challenges, LAY proclaims himself as the king in the realm of music, confident in his abilities and unyielding in his pursuit of success.


The repeated chorus of "I am Lit" reinforces LAY's self-assuredness, while the bridge highlights the resilience he possesses. LAY acknowledges that there are people who want to bring him down and criticize him, but he asserts that time will prove his survival and superiority. He refers to music as his arena and expresses pride in representing China globally. The song ultimately serves as a declaration of LAY's strength, determination, and refusal to be defeated.

I dont get how is it only 25M views ??? This is better than most movies like holy crap the cinematography and visuals are unreal

@henrijuan7998

@carinalau8776
