Hit Me
Suede(스웨이드) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You touch the place where we meet
Where you and I become she and he
I’m not as strong as I pretend to be
[Verse:]
You feel the scratches and scars
You feel the possibly we call ours
[Chorus: X2]
Come on and hit me
With your majesty
Come on and hit me
With all your mystery
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
[Verse:]
I remember when we touched, we are young
You feel my pulse and we become one
But drop me once and I will fall to bits
[Chorus: X2]
Come on and hit me
With your majesty
Come on and hit me
With all your mystery
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
[Chorus: X2]
(So) Come on and hit me
With your majesty
Come on and hit me
With all your mystery
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
The lyrics of Suede's song "Hit Me" seem to explore themes of vulnerability and strength, and the idea that the same person who can make us feel both of these things is someone we cannot help but be drawn to. In the verses, the singer talks about the place where "you and I become she and he," suggesting a kind of blurring of identities that occurs in the intimate moments shared with this other person. They also acknowledge that they are not as strong as they may seem, perhaps implying that it is only in the presence of this person that they feel able to let down their guard.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Come on and hit me" several times, but it doesn't seem to be meant as an actual request for physical violence. Instead, the "hit" can be seen as a figurative blow, a kind of challenge to the other person to reveal their true selves, their "majesty" and "mystery." It's as though the singer is saying, "I know you have the power to break me, but I want you to show me what else you can do." Overall, the lyrics of "Hit Me" suggest a complex and intense relationship between two people, one that is both passionate and risky.

You touch the place where we meet
You bring us to the point in our relationship where we truly connect
Where you and I become she and he
We take on different roles and blend together into something new
I’m not as strong as I pretend to be
I may put on a facade of strength, but I am vulnerable and can be easily broken
You feel the scratches and scars
You sense the past pain and hurt that I have experienced
You feel the possibly we call ours
You sense the potential and opportunity that we could have together
But drop me once and I’ll fall to bits
One mistake or misstep, and I will crumble and break apart
Come on and hit me
Please challenge me and push me to grow and improve
With your majesty
With your grandeur and greatness
Come on and hit me
Push me towards growth and evolution
With all your mystery
With all the unknown and intriguing qualities that make you who you are
I remember when we touched, we are young
I have fond memories of our youthful connection and intimacy
You feel my pulse and we become one
You feel the beat of my heart and we become completely united and intertwined
La la la la la
This is a melodic interlude with no true lyrical meaning
So come on and hit me
Please push me towards growth and help me to evolve
With your majesty
With your grandeur and greatness
Come on and hit me
Challenge me and help me to become the best version of myself
With all your mystery
With the intriguing qualities that make you who you are

A most unexpected and delightful reunion, glad to see the band hasn't lost any of its bite. I even had to go back and buy some of their old releases. Great band!
@EthanVonBlanque
Han regresado a lo grande. Tanto "It Starts And Ends Wiht you" como este nuevo single "HIT ME" merece la pena comprar BLOODSPORTS. SUEDE regresa la elegancia a la música.
