Discover the story of the song > The Hit – daughters

The song tells the story of a white man on a white horse riding into a dead-end town. He tries to change the town and make people better by performing a risky surgery on their brains. But the people get angry and eventually kill him. Throughout the song, there's a repeating chorus that says "well it hit" and "the hands are the eyelids of the soul," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the impact and consequences of the man's actions.
