Cassie Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lots of time for sex and drugs
Carried away my soul
Got lost in all that rock and roll
My love, the night is high
Do I walk when you can fly?
Can't stop when feeling right
When I'm with you I feel alive, feel alive
The more you roll the more you will need
The more you rock the more you will bleed, oh
The night is innocent
Sheets of black over my head
Disguise from consequence
It's time to rock and roll again
Some people say we're bold
Never live to say we're old
Look 10 years down this road
I'll still be living rock and roll, rock and roll
The more you roll the more you will need
The more you rock the more you will bleed, oh
The night is young my love
Lots of time for sex and drugs
Do I walk when you can fly?
Carried away my soul
Got lost in all that rock and roll
But that feeling only lasts so long
With thrust that it comes and its gone
The morning after runs through my veins
That rock and roll is all that keeps me sane
The more you roll the more you will need
The more you rock the more you will bleed, oh
The more you roll the more you will need
The more you rock the more you will bleed, oh
In Cassie Steele's song "Cliche," she presents a picture of a wild and adventurous night full of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The singer is lost in the moment and caught up in the thrill of living life on the edge. The night is young and there's no need to slow down or worry about the consequences of their actions. Despite the risks, the singer feels alive when they're with their partner.
However, the lyrics also suggest an awareness of the toll that this lifestyle can take on a person. The more they indulge in these vices, the more they will need, and the more they will suffer. There is a sense of inevitability to this cycle, as the singer declares that they will still be living rock and roll even in ten years' time.
The song seems to be both a celebration and a warning against this kind of high-risk behavior. While the night is still young, the singer is excited about the possibility of living in the moment and enjoying all the pleasures that life has to offer. But there is a sense that this lifestyle is unsustainable and that eventually, the morning after will come and the consequences of their actions will catch up to them.
