Reckless And Relentless
Asking Alexandria(R&R) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They said that self destruction I stopped below and for along
My only home is the bottom of the bottle and a rolled up bill and I'm ready to go
I let the scent die in and out and I don't care how long I last
On the constant drink and drugs and don't get me wrong I'm having a fucking blast

I am rock and roll, living a life we can only dream of
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest
Just like the cigarettes hurt
Just like the whiskey burns (Whoa whoa)
I guess I'm never gonna learn
I guess I'm never gonna learn

You cannot stop me 'til my insides bleeding
You cannot stop me 'til my last breathe comes
I'm gonna go until I hit the floor
Can't find a way back to my feet anymore

Pass me a glass and lets destroy everything in this fucking place like a million miles an hour you pussys can't keep up with this fucking pace

I am rock and roll, living a life we can only dream of
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest

Just like the cigarettes hurt
Just like the whiskey burns (Whoa whoa)
I guess I'm never gonna learn
I guess I'm never gonna learn

I've drunk the last time you stood right here by my side
You thought that it should be just like the good old days of rock and roll
Without a drink, without regret without a second thought
You look below on the end of the back of your fucking throat




I am rock and roll living a life we can only dream of
I am rock and roll at its fucking finest

Overall Meaning

"Reckless and Relentless," by Asking Alexandria, is a song that celebrates the reckless and impulsive lifestyle that often comes with rock and roll. The lyrics describe a life of constant partying, drugs, and drinking, with the singer seemingly taking pride in their refusal to learn from their mistakes. They claim that their only home is "the bottom of the bottle and a rolled up bill," suggesting that hedonism is more important to them than stability or security.


Despite the seemingly celebratory nature of the lyrics, there are hints of darkness and self-destruction throughout. The singer describes themselves as "rock and roll at its fucking finest," but also acknowledges that they cannot be stopped until they are bleeding from the inside out. The refrain "just like the cigarettes hurt, just like the whiskey burns, I guess I'm never gonna learn" seems to suggest that the singer is aware of the harm they are doing to themselves, but unable or unwilling to stop.


Overall, "Reckless and Relentless" presents a conflicted and complicated vision of the rock and roll lifestyle. It celebrates the thrill of excess and abandon, but also acknowledges the consequences that come with it. It's a song that captures both the excitement and the danger of living life on the edge.
