| The Pretty Reckless – Hit Me Like A Man Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Ok, so in the beginning, when she says: "love is evil, it's a version of perversion that is only for the lucky people." I think she's saying that a lot of times people fall in love with a bad person, or someone that just uses you. Or sometimes people confuse love with obsession, so it becomes perverted. And it is very rare to find true love, and maintain it. Also, I think this song has a sort of masochistic tone (probably obvious, idk) with her saying, "do with me what you will.." and "you know I'm ill..." When she starts singing, "Hit me like a Man, Love me Like a women." I don't think she necessarily means literally hit her (again, probably obvious)...it's more of a jab to men who hit their girlfriends or wives..That they're not really men for doing what they do. And that only women (in general) understand what true loving is. It could also mean she likes it rough... And in this song, she is not playing the victim. She's provoking any guy who is willing to hit her, and saying it will give them hell. But if they love her correctly, she will give them heaven. The part where she says "Don't you run away from me.." is also saying that guys who abuse women usually run away and don't take responsibility for what they have done. And instead, it should be the abused person that "runs away" or leaves the relationship. |
