Lagu Hits Different menggambarkan ungkapan patah hati yang dialami oleh Taylor Swift akibat masalah percintaannya. Makna "Hits Different" yang berarti berbeda merujuk pada tragedi patah hati yang menurutnya memiliki sensasi berbeda dibandingkan kisah-kisah sebelumnya.

Mengutip laman capitalfm.com, lagu ini diduga menceritakan tentang hubungan Taylor dengan mantan kekasihnya, Joe Alwyn. Namun, sejumlah fans meragukan hal ini lantaran lagu Hits Different dirilis ketika Taylor masih berhubungan baik dengan Joe.

Hal ini diperkuat dengan argumen yang disampaikan oleh Taylor Swift kepada media. Menurut laman Swiftly Sung Stories, Taylor tidak pernah menjelaskan siapa sosok yang dimaksud dalam lagu tersebut.

Intinya, lagu ini menceritakan tentang dirinya yang tidak bisa tidur sepanjang malam lantaran mengingat kisah patah hati yang pernah dialaminya. Dugaan kuat mengatakan bahwa lagu ini memang ditujukan kepada mantan Taylor Swift.

Lewat lagu Hits Different, Taylor ingin mengungkapkan pesan yang mendalam. Di bagian chorus ia menuliskan, "Movin' on was always easy for me to do, It hits different, It hits different 'cause it's you" yang artinya melupakan kenangan terasa mudah bagiku, namun kali ini berbeda karena orang itu adalah "kamu".

Move on bukan hal mudah lagi bagi Taylor. Dalam lirik lainnya, ia mengungkapkan bahwa sosok pria yang disebut dalam lagunya tersebut membuat ia begitu rapuh dan berantakan.

"I washed my hands of us at the club, You made a mess of me. Now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings".

Pria tersebut adalah satu-satunya orang yang sangat ia cintai. Sehingga, berpisah dengannya menyisakan ruang patah hati yang mendalam bagi Taylor.

"You were the one that I loved, Don't need another metaphor, it's simple enough".

[Verse 1]

I washed my hands of us at the club

You made a mess of me

I pictured you with other girls in love

Then threw up on the street

Like waiting for a bus that never shows

You just start walkin' on

They say that if it's right, you know

Each bar plays our song

Nothing has ever felt so wrong

[Chorus]

Oh, my, love is a lie

Shit my friends say to get me by

It hits different

It hits different this time

Catastrophic blues

Movin' on was always easy for me to do

It hits different

It hits different 'cause it's you

[Post-Chorus]

('Cause it's you)

[Verse 2]

I used to switch out these Kens, I'd just ghost

Rip the band-aid off and skip town likе an asshole outlaw

Freedom felt like summеr then on the coast

Now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings

And I never don't cry (And I never don't cry) at the bar

Yeah, my sadness is contagious (My sadness is contagious)

I slur your name 'til someone puts me in a car

I stopped receiving invitations

[Chorus]

Oh, my, love is a lie

Shit my friends say to get me by

It hits different

It hits different this time

Catastrophic blues

Movin' on was always easy for me to do

It hits different

It hits different 'cause it's you

[Post-Chorus]

('Cause it's you)

[Bridge]

I find the artifacts, cried over a hat

Cursed the space that I needed

I trace the evidence, make it make some sense

Why the wound is still bleedin'

You were the one that I loved

Don't need another metaphor, it's simple enough

A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes

This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy

Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief

In the good in the world, you once believed in me

And I felt you and I held you for a while

Bet I could still melt your world

Argumentative, antithetical dream girl

[Verse 3]

I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway

Is that your key in the door?

Is it okay? Is it you?

Or have they come to take me away?

To take me away

[Chorus]

Oh, my, love is a lie

Shit my friends say to get me by

It hits different (It hits different)

It hits different this time

Catastrophic blues

Movin' on was always easy for me to do

It hits different (It hits different)

It hits different 'cause it's you

[Outro]

Oh, my, love is a lie

Shit my friends say to get me by

'Cause it's you

Catastrophic blues

Movin' on was always easy for me to do

It hits different (Yeah)

It hits different 'cause it's you
