Rocket
Def-Leppard Lyrics

White lights, strange city, mad music all around
Describing a scene of being surrounded by the unfamiliar in terms of sights and sounds.

Midnight street magic, crazy people, crazy sound
Painting a picture of an unusual and exciting experience, filled with energy and wonder.

Jack Flash, rocket man, Sergeant Pepper and the band
Listing iconic music figures, highlighting the significance of music and its impact.

Ziggy, Benny and the Jets
Naming more musical icons, further emphasizing the influence of music and musicians.

Take a rocket, we just gotta fly
Encouraging the listener to take a leap of faith and embrace adventure.

(I can take you through the center of the dark)
Promising to lead the listener through unknown experiences safely, with confidence.

We're gonna fly (on a collision course to crash into my heart)
Using the metaphor of a rocket to symbolize a romantic pursuit, expressing passion and desire.

I will be your, I will be your, I'll be your
Asserting dedication and loyalty to the object of desire.

Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Repeating the rocket metaphor as a symbol of a powerful love connection.

Spotlight magnetic razor rhythm laser love
Describing a love connection in terms of intensity and energy, using imagery of technology and music.

Invoking a sense of excitement and anticipation, preparing for a thrilling experience.

Five, four, three, two, one, zero, we have liftoff
Continuing the rocket metaphor, signaling the launch of a journey with great significance.

Guitar, drums, load up, we're gonna fly
Encouraging the listener to become fully engaged and ready to embrace the experience.

Rocket, yeah, satellite of love, we're gonna fly
