You Had Me At Drugs - Say It Like You Mean It [Official Lyric Video]

“Say It Like You Mean It” by You Had Me at Drugs is an explosive fusion of metalcore, techno, and emotional chaos — a track that hits like heartbreak in motion. It’s an anthem for anyone tired of half-truths and quiet goodbyes, a demand for honesty delivered with venom, distortion, and pulse-pounding energy.

Opening with the line “You said forever, but your eyes looked away,” the song dives straight into betrayal and emotional exhaustion. The verses balance cold precision and raw vulnerability — the sound of someone holding on just long enough to finally let go. When the chorus erupts with “Say it like you mean it, tell me we’re through,” it’s both a confrontation and a release — a final scream from someone done pretending everything’s fine.

Musically, the song blends electronic pulse with metalcore aggression: glitchy synths intertwine with crushing guitars, driving drums, and cathartic screams that bleed into melodic hooks. It channels the intensity of heartbreak into motion — an emotional explosion caught between defiance and despair. The bridge collapses into a swirling breakdown of static and distortion before one last surge of pure catharsis: “Say it loud, say it true, I’m done bleeding over you.”

“Say It Like You Mean It” isn’t just about heartbreak — it’s about reclaiming your voice when silence has been killing you. It’s fiery, cinematic, and full of electricity — a perfect storm of fury and finality.
