There is another artist with the same name:
2) Savages is an electronic musician from Hungary, born in 1981 in Balassagyarmat and currently living in Budapest. He had classic musical education and played on trumpet for about 7 years, and then he got his first PC.
It was a turning-point and from that moment he was much more interested in making music with computers. His early demo tapes were inspired by the rave era and after the end of this period he became ‘more’ serious and open-minded to other musical styles like jazz, funk, soul, contemporary, etc.
Savages released his solo debut album (Five Finger Discount) in 2008 through Chameleon Records. In the same year he met Suefo (also a member of Vono Box) and they started working together on tracks and remixes. Since then they did remixes for !DelaDap, [dunkelbunt], Max Pashm, Rube, Kid Loco, [re:jazz], Danilo Venturi to name a few. The two members came from the same eclectic music scene of Budapest. They play downtempo, breaks, jazz, funk, hip-hop, dub, electro swing and all kinds of multikulti folk in their dj sets and they incorporate the same variety in their own music as well. These days they’re busy working on some new remixes and organising new clubnights to promote electroswing phenomena in Hungary.
Hit Me
Savages Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me I'm miserable now
Oh Cherie can you tell
I took a beating tonight
And that was the best I ever had
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Help me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Hit me
Will you hit me now
I think I'm ready tonight
I think I'm ready tonight
I think I'm ready tonight
Oh hit me
Hit me with your hands
Oh it's the only way I ever learn
Oh if hell is
If hell is a dog fight
I think I'm ready tonight
I think I'm ready tonight
I think I'm ready tonight
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
Will you hit me
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
Will you hit me
Will you hit me
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
Will you hit me
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
Will you hit me
Come hit me now
The lyrics of Savages's song "Hit Me" illustrate the emotional and physical masochism that is often intertwined with sexuality. The singer is searching for pain as a way to feel alive and escape their misery. The repetition of the phrase "tell me" suggests a desire for communication with another person, and the plea for someone to "hit me" implies a need for physical stimulation to counteract their emotional numbness.
The line "Oh if hell is a dog fight" is particularly poignant, evoking brutal violence and struggle. The imagery of a dog fight also highlights the idea of being used or exploited by others, which may be a source of the singer's emotional turmoil. The repetition of the phrase "I think I'm ready tonight" suggests a subtle hesitation or doubt, perhaps a fear of the unknown, but ultimately the singer decides that they are "ready" for whatever pain or pleasure may come.
Overall, "Hit Me" expresses a complex and raw emotional state, seeking connection and fulfillment through pain and submission.
