Hit the Lights
Selena Gomez The Scene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the girl you let get away.
It's the one you saw that day on the train,
But you freaked out and walked away.
It's the plane you wanna catch to Vegas,
Things you swear you'll do before you die,
It's the city of love that waits for you,
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
It's the time that you totally screwed up,
Still you're trying to get it out your brain.
It's the fight you had when you didn't make up,
It's the past that you're dying to change.
It's all the money that you're saving,
While the good life passes by.
It's all the dreams that never came true,
Cause you're too damn scared to try. (Scared to try.)
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
It's a mad, mad world, gotta make an escape,
It's a perfect world, when you go all the way.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight.
So let's go, go, go, go all the way.
Yeah let's go, go, go, go night and day.
From the floor, to the rafters, people raise your glasses,
We could dance forever!
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight,
Come alive, let the moment take you, lose control tonight.
It's a mad, mad world, gotta make an escape.
It's a perfect world, when you go all the way.
Hit the lights, let the music move you, lose yourself tonight.
The lyrics of Selena Gomez's Hit the Lights focus on living life to the fullest and not being afraid to take risks or make mistakes. The song's opening lines address unrequited love, with lines like "It's the boy you never told I like you" and "It's the girl you let get away." Gomez urges the listener to take chances and not let opportunities pass them by out of fear, and in the chorus, she encourages the listener to "lose control tonight" and let the music move them.
The song also addresses regret and missed opportunities, with lyrics like "It's all the dreams that never came true, cause you're too damn scared to try." However, the chorus offers a sense of freedom and empowerment, as though the act of losing control and dancing can help the listener escape their fears and overcome their regrets. The song's bridge suggests that the world can be both chaotic and beautiful, but that the beauty is found in taking risks and embracing life fully.

@@MC_Dough Unless we`re saved, praying will be worthless, no single one shall be heard.
SALVATION, it must come 1st
sins of a lifetime, must get forgiven
soul must GO AND SIN NO MORE.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
1st we ask
then we seek
then we knock
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

I want this era back!!! 😭😭😭 Could you believe that this cute little girl is 30 years old now?
@GotoMaki4Micah
i miss her disney days. she was so passionate and charismatic, she still had her real teeth, she looked like she wanted to be there. for many years now she looks bored tired and uninspired in her music and interviews. her new song with rema is a sleeper, even she looks tired or high.
@utkarshverma013
@@GotoMaki4Micah I agree. Nowadays Selena always looks like she's trying to push herself hard, hiding some pain inside her. She's been through a lot tho.
