Give It Up
The Hunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keller's runnin' TV show.
Razor blade in action - everything is "live",
Scandal makes a paper "hot",
You may like it, you may not.
Marriage, rape, divorce, somebody's butchered wife.
Empire rise, they're built on lies,
Give it up, never ever give it up!
Little kid some place abroad,
Shot dead by the terror squad.
Only one? Just not enough to ring a bell!
TV preacher will love to tell you,
Pay a dime and God's for sale.
Don't get scared it's just another day in hell.
Empire's turn, they're built burn,
We'll never learn - I'll never...
Give it up, never ever give it up!
The lyrics of The Hunt's song Give It Up exposes the harsh reality of our world through a sarcastic and ironic style. The song opens with the line "Give it up just let it flow", which suggests that the people should not try to resist the current state of affairs and just accept things as they are. The line "Keller's runnin' TV show" refers to the power of media in our society, where television channels and news networks have a huge influence on the public's perception. The next line "Razor blade in action - everything is 'live'" is a metaphor implying that media can cut through the truth and sensationalize reality for the sake of business.
The subsequent line "Scandal makes a paper 'hot'" is a commentary on the nature of media, where negative news sells more than positive news. The line "Marriage, rape, divorce, somebody's butchered wife" reflects the kind of news that attracts tabloid readers. The chorus "Give it up, never ever give it up!" suggests how people become desensitized to news of tragedy and violence. The second verse talks about how the world is indifferent towards the sufferings of innocent children and how religious leaders exploit the people's faith for their own benefit. The line "Empire's turn, they're built to burn, we'll never learn" reflects how history repeats itself, and humanity never learns from its mistakes.

My ex sent me this song after leaving me, and I cried like a baby.... I cry every time I hear it..... Iβm still completely in love with that man! Thatβs the year we started dating and life was perfect. We split a year ago and the pain still hurts just as bad as the day he left....

Iβm here to admit it. I donβt care much for Sam Hunt. Iβve always thought he was one of the people who gave country this poppy sound it now has. But this is the best song he has. It actually sounds country. I think SH would be a great pop artist if he wanted to make that transition. But if he would do this kind of stuff more, I would have to consider becoming a fan. Have a great day:)
