Hit the Floor Lyrics

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I’ve held on what I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to...

    Lol, linkinpark4eva. you think every song they make is about their girlfriends. Haha.

    but yea. I see it as a person who is fed up with being treated like crap by someone else (it doesn't have to be specifically their girlfriend*) who is always putting them down in front of people (probobly a popular person who if full of it). He's saying he is gunna take this person down because he is sick of them lying and thinking they are so high and mighty.

    * I doubt it was written about their girlfriend because: he was married at the time he wrote this. why would he think back to when he was a kid and get all ticked off because some chick from "way back when" dumped him. Chester has more of a life than that.

    WRONG WRONG WRONG! Why is it always a woman puttin a man down? It's just about how, when the person they're describing was growing up, how much sh*t he had to go thru so the person who was raggin on him would feel a lot bigger about themself, and how now that they have gotten so far in life, the pain is all gone because they made something out of themselves and the person who gave them hell is still where he was all his life!

    I think this song is about someone trying to put the singer down, trying to make themselves feel better by lowering another person self-esteem but the singer knows that what goes up has to fall so they are waiting for the moment to topple this opressive person

    It's about his partner (previous or current I don't know) cheating on him, a lot of the songs on meteora are

    It seems about soldiers and maybe how they feel about the government. Or how the people want to rebel from there government, "I know I’ll never trust a single thing you say
    You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway
    And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
    But what goes up has got to fall".

    This song is OBVIOUSLY about Chester's sex life, which he finds to be absolutely miserable. Apparently he's involved in some pretty kinky stuff, "There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me".

    "One minute you're on top!" Yup. He's screaming it. He's mad. Chester just doesn't like cowgirl, but his girlfriend did, a lot, and refused to do anything else, and this was reason for being so upset.

    "So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies". Chester doesn't like it when his woman fakes an orgasm. I mean, that's just jacked, dude.

    "But what goes up has got to fall." This is clearly Chester expressing just how exasperated he is at how he HAS to use viagra.

    Linkin park's lyrics always have some meaning behind them, and in my opinion Hit The Floor is about how you have to stand up for yourself, or how you have to do something thats right for yourself and not other people, "so many people like me walk on eggshells all day long, all I know is all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on."
    So I think Hit the Floor is about finding your yourself and most of all standing up for yourself!

    I'm pretty sure that it is about delusions of grandeur, but of course I don't know.
    "One minute you're on top(Next you're not, watch it drop*missed you're shoot*)
    making you're heart stop" -I see it as a lyrical warning for megalomania.

    AspartaneAddict hit it on the nail. You know that person/people who is always trying to bring you down for a minute(as in lyrics) they feel they are on top. But that is only temporary satisfaction while you on the other hand end up gaining the upper hand against them because they most likely end up with a shitty life; if they keep pulling that crap. You on the other hand the one who was put down will amount to something. Most likely its Mike and he is talking about how he had deal with people in this life and he ended becoming more then the crap they spewed and left them in his dust.

    I don't think its specifically about a girl and a guy. but just any to people who constantly put each other down. "but what goes up must fall" might be saying that once one person is up there going to fall

    This song is all about someone,who feels that people around him/her is trying to look inside their heart but they are not analysing the himher well enough. He/she was analysed by the people around them in the wrong manner and now he/she is waiting for the correct time to come to gonna clarify everything .

    I know they're married, but the song is about a relationship, maybe based on Mike/Chester's previous experiences. It's about TEEN ANGST, and most teenagers aren't married, to my knowledge.

    This song is about someone (Chester or Mike's girlfriend?) who always puts him down and really bigs themself up. This song is about just how hard she is going to fall.
