Rock And Or Roll
Dandy Boy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every crowd I'm in
Well I stand alone
and this ain't a party
I wanna go home

Everybody's looking like
they are having so much fun
I know them for ages now

What the hell all went wrong?

Whatever they say it is not true
he wasn't soft because of you
Whatever they say it is not true
Beer didn't get me on top of you

Every place I'm at
I'm bored I'm alone
Do you call this music?
I wanna go home

Everybody's looking like
they are having so much fun
I know them for ages now
What the hell all went wrong?

Whatever they say it is not true
he wasn't soft because of you
Whatever they say it is not true
Beer didn't get me on top of you

Whatever they say it is not true
One night and I am the fool
Whatever I say just might be true
but my regrets are overdue

Let's go home

Take me home
I wanna go home.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dandy Boy’s song Rock And Or Roll are a somber reflection of the struggles of feeling out of place and disconnected in social settings where everyone else seems to be having the time of their lives. The singer expresses feelings of boredom and loneliness even when surrounded by people they have known for ages. They don’t share in the excitement and energy of the party or the music being played, and just want to go home. Despite the pressure to conform to the expectations of those around them, they refuse to pretend to be having fun when they’re not. The song speaks to the struggle of being true to oneself in the face of societal pressure to conform.

The second verse of the song implies that the singer has been the subject of gossip or false accusations. The lines “Whatever they say it is not true/he wasn't soft because of you/Beer didn't get me on top of you” suggest that someone has made unfounded accusations about the singer being drunk or taking advantage of someone sexually. The last verse also hints at regret for past mistakes and the sense of being a “fool” for going along with the crowd. Despite this regret, the singer is resolute in their desire to leave the party and return to a place where they feel more comfortable.
