Hammer
SoCal VoCals Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you later
Come and pick me up
I′ll be, waiting
You hit me, I can go, play the hammer
Call me in the moonlight
I'll be back just one night
Oh if you wanna

Tell me you can fill, this open invitation
I know it isn′t real, but we're so good at escaping
'Cause we′re so waking
We′re so tainted, we'll never get enough

Tell me, I see you later
Come and pick me up
I′ll be, waiting
You hit me, I can go, play the hammer
Call me in the moonlight
I'll be back just one night

Always on the run
From who we were, who we become
And I know you won′t be there
And I know you won't be there
When it all comes on down
But we got this moment (take my hand and hold on)
We are golden, tomorrow will be gone

Tell me, I see you later
Come and pick me up
I′ll be, waiting
You hit me, I can go, play the hammer
Call me in the moonlight
I'll be back just one night

Baby got me feeling like one in a million
We go run past the ceiling to the sun
Wake me up, 'cause that′s where I been dreaming
There′s no one here gone to heaven
I don't wanna know the ending
I′ll just hit me, hit me

So tell me, I see you later
Come and pick me up
I'll be, waiting
You hit me, I can go, play the hammer

Call me in the moonlight
I′ll be back just one night

Overall Meaning

The song "Hammer" by SoCal VoCals seems to be about a relationship that is not entirely real, but the two people in the relationship are good at "escaping" reality. They seem to be aware that their relationship isn't sustainable, but they are enjoying the moment they are in. The lyrics suggest that they are running from their past selves and their future selves, and living in the moment is more important than worrying about what will happen later on. The line "Baby got me feeling like one in a million" suggests that this relationship makes the singer feel special, even if it isn't entirely real. The repeated phrase "Tell me, I see you later" seems to suggest that the singer is waiting for a call from the person they are in the relationship with, and they will drop everything to be with them.

The chorus, with the phrase "You hit me, I can go, play the hammer" is a little ambiguous, but it could mean that the other person is controlling the singer, and they are just playing along. It could also mean that the other person has a way of making the singer feel free, and they are enjoying that feeling.

Overall, the song seems to be about living in the moment, enjoying a relationship even if it isn't sustainable, and being aware that it will come to an end eventually.

No one has left for paradise yet

I′ll just hit me, hit me
I'll take whatever comes my way

Sidenote: Nina is ON FIRE in this, dancewise. All her moves are smoother and groovier than the rest of them. Even Kayla. :O (But, of course, Kayla's vocals shred as usual)
