Hit And Run
Left Spine Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are my roadkill
You are my prey
I'm here to break your will
And make you pay

If you're the cancer
Then I'm the cure
Your mind's a disease
My bullet's pure

There's no use running
No place to hide
The world is slowing down
no one gets out alive

If you're the cancer
Then I'm the cure
Your mind's a disease
My bullet's pure

It's a hit and run
Gonna take you down
It's a hit and run
Get out of town

Where I am
No one can touch me
Behind the wheel I am made whole
I'm flesh and steel
Nothing can stop me
Tell me now
Who's in Control?
Where I am
No one can touch me
Behind the wheel I am made whole
I'm flesh and steel
Nothing can stop me
Tell me now
Who's in Control?

Nothing to gain
Nothing to lose
Nobody ever wins
We've all been abused

If you're the cancer
Then I'm the cure
Your mind's a disease
My bullet's pure

This city's rotten
Its people cold
No one alive at all
It's all just getting old

If you're the cancer
Then I'm the cure
Your mind's a disease
My bullet's pure

It's a hit and run
Gonna take you down
It's a hit and run
Get out of town

It's a hit and run
Gonna take you down




It's a hit and run
Get out of town

Overall Meaning

The song "Hit and Run" by Left Spine Down is a powerful anthem about taking control and seeking revenge in a world that seems to be working against you. The lyrics tell the story of someone who sees the world as a desolate, rotten place where nobody wins, and the only way to survive is to take matters into your own hands. The idea of "hit and run" being a metaphor for their approach to life, where they aim to take down anyone who stands in their way and then flee the scene before anyone can catch them, adds a layer of danger and excitement to the song.


The lyrics are particularly dark, with references to the other person being prey, a cancer that needs curing, and ultimately deserving of a bullet. The use of violent language and imagery throughout the song makes it clear that this is not a call for peaceful resolution, but rather a message of aggression and domination. The repeated phrase "If you're the cancer, then I'm the cure" suggests that the singer sees themselves as a hero of sorts, taking on the role of a vigilante who must do whatever it takes to rid the world of those who would do harm.


However, the song does not offer any justification or explanation for this worldview. It is unclear what has led the singer to feel this way or what specific circumstances have driven them to become so violent and ruthless. Instead, the lyrics seem to suggest that this is simply the way the world is, and that sometimes you just have to fight back in order to survive.
