Overall Meaning

The song "ロック" or "Rock" by GO!GO!7188 expresses a sense of restlessness and the desire for more thrilling experiences. The singer is itching to do something but doesn't know what, and wants to go somewhere but doesn't have anywhere particular in mind. They feel like 10% thrills and the money they have right now, along with their shallow existence, are not enough to satisfy them. They want more, they want something delicious and they want to eat lots of it, they want to fall in love with someone exciting, but they feel like they are stuck in a boring and unfulfilling situation.

The lyrics of "Rock" are relatable and express the restless spirit of youth. The song is not just about a feeling, it's also about the struggles of finding purpose and meaning in life. The scarcity mindset is a common theme in the song - the feeling of never having enough and always yearning for more. The song is also about ambition and the desire for something bigger and better. The repetition of the phrases, "I want to do something, but there's nothing to do" and "I want to go somewhere, but there's nowhere to go" shows the frustration of being stuck in a rut.
