Beat It
Melody Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and the words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Chorus:
Just beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playing with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Melody Fall's "Beat It" convey a message of defiance against oppression and bullying. The first verse depicts the singer being warned to stay away from a certain group of people who want to harm him. The urgency of the situation is conveyed through the imagery of "the fire's in their eyes" and the direct language of "you better disappear." Despite the danger, the chorus encourages the singer to stand up and fight back, to "beat it" and show "how funky and strong is [his] fight." The second verse adds another layer to this narrative, referring to the pressure to conform to traditional masculinity ("don't be a macho man") and the importance of proving oneself in the face of aggression.


Overall, the song's lyrics speak to the universal experience of being bullied or intimidated, and the importance of standing up for oneself in the face of fear. The repeated refrain of "beat it" becomes a rallying cry, urging listeners to channel their inner strength and resist oppression.
