Okay, so at first I thought this song was about drugs (I needed just a hit), but now I'm not so sure.
It kinda seems like it could be a reference to graduation day. Now, don't shoot me for saying this, but I really and truly hate graduation day. I tried; I gave it a chance, but I think it's horrible. Don't get me wrong, I think HA is amazing, but that song sounds nothing like the rest of the album, or their first one. It's your classic, unoriginal, run of the mill, "alternative rock" piece of shit that MTV extracts from the music world (no offense if you like it - maybe I just have no taste in music).
Graduation day sounds like the kind of song that any other MTV "alternative rock" band could turn out, make some flashy music video for, and proceed to ruin radio with.
Anyway, here's what made me think it's a song reference -
I had to write a hit, one hit -
I though it sounded like song reference; write a song, a hit song. And Graduation Day is their hit song (along with beating hearts, which I do like)
It's a very little hit, I'm sure you won't like it -
Well, I don't like it.
I needed to be hurt, one hit will send me flying -
Not sure about this, but I thought he was saying "I needed to be heard", not hurt. A hit song would allow HA to be heard by a larger fan base.
It's a very little hit, I’m sure I won't like it -
They're sure they won't like their hit song because hit music, for lack of a better word, sucks (for the most part).
I got away with murder last night in the parking lot
In cold blood I have murdered parts of us that we forgot -
Maybe they're talking about murdering the part of the band that didn't want to give in to popular music, and instead play true to themselves.
I got away with murder, who's the next to make the list -
Who's the next band to "sell out" to pop music? btw, I don't condemn sell-outs: people have done worse things for money.
(chorus) -
Going nowhere musically?
I walked into a kiss, one kiss
From the very lovely miss who lives to fulfill my wish -
Kiss of fame? Fulfill their wishes of fame?
