Rock Show
Halestorm Lyrics

Little girl
Addressing the young and enthusiastic female listener (or figuratively, the inner child within any music lover)

You like it loud
You prefer the music to be played at a high volume

Come alive in the middle of a crowd
You feel energized and reinvigorated when surrounded by fellow concertgoers

You wanna scream
You feel the urge to shout along with the music

You wanna shout
You desire to sing loudly, expressing your excitement and passion for the music

Get excited when the lights go down
You feel a rush of anticipation and excitement when the lights dim, signaling the start of the concert

At the rock show
Referencing the concert or musical performance being attended

You'll be right in the front row
You will be positioned as close as possible to the stage, maximizing your enjoyment of the performance

Heart and soul, they both know
You are fully invested and committed to the experience, feeling it deeply and passionately

It’s where you gotta be
You believe that this concert is the best possible place for you to be at this moment in time

All the lighters looking just like stars
Referencing the tradition of concertgoers holding aloft lighters or cell phones in a communal gesture, creating a visual spectacle

Sing along, feel the sound
You are participating in the performance through singing and can feel the vibrations of the music pulsing through your body

Take a ride on the hands of the crowd
You are crowd-surfing, being passed overhead by enthusiastic fans, feeling like you are truly part of a communal experience

Here it comes, the moment when
The song or performance is building to a dramatic and memorable moment

You know you’ll never be the same again
You realize that this experience is transformative and will be remembered as a pivotal moment in your life

Power chord, see the light
A reference to a particularly striking or impressive moment in the performance, which may involve powerful guitar-playing or an overwhelming sensory experience

You found your place in the world tonight
You feel a sense of belonging and connection to the world around you, particularly through your love of music

Getting high on the solo
Experiencing a particularly powerful and memorable solo or improvisational moment in the performance

So what if it’s crazy?
Acknowledging that others may not understand or appreciate your passion for the music, but embracing it nonetheless

This goes out to anyone one
A broader dedication or shout-out to all music lovers who share these feelings and experiences

Who's heart beats like a kick drum
Referencing the powerful and regular beating of the heart when experiencing intense emotions or excitement, likened to the sound of a drum

When a bitchin' riff comes
Experiencing a particularly impressive or inventive guitar riff or melody

Knows the words to every line, every time
You are fully familiar with the lyrics of your favorite songs and can sing along effortlessly and with conviction

And you know you gotta go get some, get pumped
Feeling an intense urge to seek out more musical experiences and to become even more excited and passionate about your favorite bands

Find yourself and lose it
Music can be a transformative experience, allowing you to discover new aspects of yourself and to connect with others in new and meaningful ways

We're reaching for the high notes
Experiencing the most inspiring and memorable moments of the performance, which may include particularly high-pitched vocals or soaring guitar solos

Don't matter if we're crazy
Embracing the intense and seemingly irrational feelings and behavior associated with being a passionate music lover

You're coming with me
Inviting others to join in this shared experience and passion for music

So what if it’s crazy?
Reiterating the importance of embracing one's enthusiasm for music, regardless of what others may think

It’s where we gotta be
Confirming that there is no better place to be than at a rock show, surrounded by fellow music lovers and experiencing the transformative power of live music
