Rebel Yell
Children of Bodom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last night a little angel came pumping on the floor
She said, come on baby, I got a license for love
And if it expires, pray help from above
Because
In the midnight hour she cried, more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried, more, more, more
In the midnight hour, babe, more, more, more
More, more, more
She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But, when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to me, babe
What sets you free, I need you hear by me
Because
In the midnight hour she cried, more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried, more, more, more
In the midnight hour, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell, more, more, more
He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long, it don't mess up his hair
I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you
I'd sell my soul for you, babe
For money to burn for you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Justa, justa, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because
In the midnight hour she cried, more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried, more, more, more
In the midnight hour, babe, more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried, more, more, more
More, more, more
Oh yeah little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more, more
Oh yeah little angel
She want more
More, more, more, more, more
The song "Rebel Yell" by Children of Bodom is a cover of Billy Idol's original. The song is about a rebellious woman who lives life on her own terms and refuses to be subservient to anyone. The singer of the song is drawn to her energy, independence, and strength, despite her refusal to conform to societal norms. The "rebel yell" in the chorus represents the woman's defiance and refusal to be silenced or oppressed.
The first verse describes the woman's power and confidence as a dancer who exudes sexiness and intensity. She tells the singer that she has a "license for love" and that she is not afraid to use it. The second verse describes the woman's independence and refusal to be controlled by anyone, including the singer. She sees him as a partner and an equal, but not as someone to be submissive to.
The third verse is from the point of view of a third party observing the woman's rebellious behavior, describing how she lives life on her own terms and collects her own "heaven" from the convenience store. The final verse is a confession of the singer's love and devotion to the woman, even if it means sacrificing everything to be with her.
Overall, the song celebrates the strength and independence of women who refuse to be controlled or silenced by anyone.
