Reckless & Relentless
Asking Alexandria(R&R) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Music is fucking dead
It's thanks to you cunts stabbing it in the fucking chest
You, and every one of these fake, righteous, undeserving bands
Fuck you

Through sin and self destruction I stumble home, never alone
My only home is the bottom of a bottle and a rolled up bill and I'm ready to go
I live the same day in and out and I don't care how long I last
All the girls and drink and drugs but don't get me wrong
I'm having a fucking blast

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At its fucking finest

[Repeat x2]
Just like the cigarettes hurt
Just like the whiskey burns
Whoa whoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn


Not gonna stop until my heart stops beating
Not gonna stop until my last breath comes
I'm gonna go until I hit the floor and I can't find my back to my feet anymore

Pass me a glass and let's destroy everything in this fucking place
Life at three hundred miles an hour
You pussies can't keep up with this fucking pace

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At its fucking finest

[Repeat x2]
Just like the cigarettes hurt
Just like the whiskey burns
Whoa whoa
I guess I'm never gonna learn

I've spent the last two years tearing apart my soul
I'll put the next two in to kick-start the good old days of rock and roll

Without remorse, without regret, without a second thought
You hit the nail on the head with the back of your fucking throat

I am rock and roll
Livin' the life that you can only dream of
I am rock and roll
At its fucking finest

Music is fucking dead
It's thanks to you cunts stabbing it in the fucking chest




You, and every one of these fake, righteous, undeserving bands
Fuck you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Asking Alexandria's song "Reckless & Relentless" seems to speak about the current state of the music industry, with the lead vocalist expressing his frustration and anger towards fake and unworthy bands who he believes killed genuine rock and roll, one of the most beloved genres of music. The lyrics are filled with profanity and negative sentiments toward those who he believes should not be part of the music scene. The overall message in the song is that rock and roll is still thriving, but it's only accessible to the few who are willing to live a wild and reckless lifestyle, without any inhibitions, rules or boundaries.


The words, "Through sin and self-destruction I stumble home, never alone. My only home is the bottom of a bottle and a rolled-up bill and I'm ready to go" speaks to the lifestyle these rock stars live, with no care for the next day, partying and living every day like it's their last. The lyrics that follows, "I guess I'm never gonna learn, not gonna stop until my heart stops beating. Not gonna stop until my last breath comes. I'm gonna go until I hit the floor and I can't find my back to my feet anymore" suggests an unapologetic approach to life, which further reinforces the message of the song.


Overall, "Reckless & Relentless" is a song that captures the essence of rock and roll perfectly, emphasizing the importance of living on the edge and never apologizing for it. The song's message suggests that there is still hope for rock and roll. It only takes one person to keep the fire burning and to keep the essence of rock and roll alive.
