Armageddon It

Def Leppard

You better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if ya don't want to dance
You're like four-letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cause you know that you can
You got it, but are you gettin' it?
You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won't trigger the gun
You know you can't stop it, so don't rock it, you know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Really gettin' it, come get it from me

(Gimme all of your lovin')
Every little bit (gimme all that you got)
Every bit of it (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, c'mon live a bit (never want it to stop)
Yeah, but are you gettin' it? (armageddon it)
Ooh, really gettin' it? (yes, armageddon it)

Yeah, doo-doo wop
You try comin' on when you need some
But then you don't 'cause you already did
Yeah, you jangle your jewels while your shakin' ya
And drive the pretty boys outta their heads
You got it, but are you gettin' it?
You flash you bedroom eyes like a jumpin' jack
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back
You know you can't stop it, so don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Ooh, really gettin' it, oh, come get it from me

(Gimme all of your lovin')
Every little bit (gimme all that you got)
Every bit of it (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, c'mon live a bit (never want it to stop)
Yeah, but are you gettin' it? (armageddon it)
Ooh, really gettin' it? (yes, armageddon it)

C'mon, Steve, get it
Take it, take it, take it from me
I got an itchy finger following me
Pull it, pull it, c'mon trigger the gun
'Cause the best is yet to come, I say
'Cause the best is yet to come
Are you gettin' it? Really gettin' it?
Are you getting it, really getting it?
Oh, come get it from me

(Gimme all of your lovin')
Every little bit (gimme all that you got)
Every bit of it (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, c'mon live a bit (never want it to stop)
(Gimme all of your lovin')
Oh, are you getting it? (gimme all that you got)
Oh, are you getting it? (every bit of your lovin')
Oh, little bit (gimme all that you got)
Little bit
You got to live it (gimme all of your lovin')
Oh, baby, mean it (gimme all that you got)
Come on and give it (gimme all of your lovin')
Oh, come on and give it (never want it to stop)
Oh, are you getting it? (gimme all of your lovin')
Ooh, are you getting it? (never want it to stop)
Oh, are you getting it (every bit of your lovin')

    Sounds more like its about a girl who's a total COCK TEASE: "You like four letter words when you're ready to But then you won't cause you know that you can" or "You flash your bedroom eyes like a jumpin' jack Then play it pretty with a pat on the back" And Joe Elliot is trying to convince her to "come an get it from me!" lol

    Don't have any proper idea of what this song is about but I love it lol. At first I didn't but it grows on ya, I think its obviously about a girl, and Joe is singing that he wants her 2 with him, like "yes, are you getting it?" he's asking her, do you get it I want you? And hes going on about how much he wants her lovin' cuz she should b his.

    this guy loves this girl, but he's unsure wheather she loves him back. he is pleading for her to love him. he hopes she feels as strongly about him as he does for her. he is basically going at all lengths to get her to love him and hopes the feeling is mutual

    I think the lyric was originally "I'm a gettin it" but they changed it to "Armageddon It". The first time I looked at the album tracks I was like "what the hell could this be about", but I think it's about sex.

    Great song reminds me of an important time in my life before kids and marriage when life was simple...But I believe this song is about a dick teasing hot young gal of age...he is trying to get the point across that he wants her badly.

    Great song, just heard it live at a Def Leppard concert. I remember a girl who insisted the song was called "Are You Getting It" and would yell that over the Armageddon It part.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
