Locked & Loaded
So Contagious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a new day for what's been done before
I've got a new song singing in my head
Let it out, the words we never said
I've got this locked and loaded
Find a way for me to show it
Soon everyone will know it
They'll be singing along
I'm thinking
Every line is just a new way
To make this night end up at your place
Let's make a secret, I know you feel it
You've got me going down
Girl I'm so tired of waiting, let's just promise
This is all we ever wanted
You've got the key to my heart make it start, start
Baby turn me on
Wake up, there's so much left to see
This night was made for you and me
Close your lips not a word you'll have to say
Gotta go, gotta run, gotta get away
I've go this locked and loaded
A little smirk that you'll never notice
I let it show just so you will know it
You'll be singing along
We got nothing to lose I'm thinking
Every line is just a new way
To make this night end up at your place
Let's make a secret, I know you feel it
You've got me going down
Girl I'm so tired of waiting, let's just promise
This is all we ever wanted
You've got the key to my heart make it start, start
Baby turn me on
Looking back on the notes I never read
Three simple words that we never should have said
Another song that's still ringing in my head
Another song that's still ringing in my head
I'll write a song to say I'll miss you
So sing along, let's make a wish tonight
This won't be the last time
No this won't be the last time
And when you wake I'll just be a memory
I'll drive away but you'll know the melody
And next time you'll sing to me
Whoah ah oh ah oh, Whoah ah ah oh oh
Every line is just a new way
To make this night end up at your place
Let's make a secret, I know you feel it
You've got me going down
Girl I'm so tired of waiting, let's just promise
This is all we ever wanted
You've got the key to my heart make it start, start
Baby turn me on
The So Contagious song "Locked & Loaded" is about taking control and going after what you want. The song's protagonist is pressing forward, full steam ahead, into a brand new day. He's ready to put his cards on the table and ensure his message is heard. He has a strong sense of purpose and his objective is to let everything he's been holding in out in the open. This is signified by the declaration that he has something "locked and loaded", and he is looking to find a way to show the world what he is capable of.
The song's lyrics then switch to romance mode. The singer is talking to a girl, asking her to come with him and take a chance. He believes that every line of the story he crafts for her is a new way of getting closer to her. He wants to create a secret between them and encourage her to promise nothing more than to have some fun. The singer believes that until now, they were only ever missing each other, and he wants her to unlock his heart and turn him on. He promises to make a song to say he'll miss her, and it sounds like he's going to be the one who ultimately decides when the story ends.
Overall, the song is about taking control and seizing the moment. It encourages the listener to go after what they want, whether it's personal or professional.

I'll drive away but you'll know the melody
Even though I leave, you will remember our shared experiences
And next time you'll sing to me
In the future, you will express your feelings to me in your own way
Whoah ah oh ah oh, Whoah ah ah oh oh
An expression of the emotional impact of our experience together
