Rock 'n' Roll Delight
Hugo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you're leaving footprints
But it's craters that you're making
Try to spread the love 'round
But it's names that you're taking
It's crowded in your clutches and
The pressure's got me breaking

Unwind, refill, prepare
For some of that rock and roll delight
Distilled, lay bare
And it keeps me thinking
I'm your weekend lover on the side

So just put on the golden handcuffs
And let me walk you out of here
And how long can you linger
When you're living off of tears?

And who could ever turn you down
When you turn on all of the lights in town?

Unwind, refill, prepare
For some of that rock and roll delight
Distilled, lay bare
And it keeps me thinking
I'm your weekend lover on the side
On the side

And who could ever turn you down
When you turn on all of the lights in town?

Unwind, refill, prepare
For some of that rock and roll delight
Distilled, lay bare
And it keeps me thinking




I'm your weekend lover on the side
On the side

Overall Meaning

In the opening lines of Hugo's song, "Rock 'n' Roll Delight", the singer describes the destructive power of the person they address in the song. Despite their best intentions to "spread the love 'round", this individual instead leaves "craters" wherever they go and takes "names" instead of giving. The consequences of their actions are overwhelming; the singer feels "crowded in [their] clutches" and the pressure is "breaking" them.


In the chorus, the singer offers an escape from this pressure - the "rock and roll delight" of the title. This is presented as a transformative experience that can help the singer "unwind" and "refill" after dealing with the chaos caused by this person. There's a sense of longing in the way the singer refers to themselves as the other person's "weekend lover on the side". This suggests that they're not a priority in the person's life, but they're willing to be a secret escape for them anyway.


Overall, the lyrics of "Rock 'n' Roll Delight" tell a story of a tumultuous relationship that's both addictive and destructive. The singer is torn between wanting to escape and find some peace, and wanting to be close to the person who causes so much chaos in their life.

You think you're leaving footprints
But it's craters that you're making
Try to spread the love 'round
But it's names that you're taking
It's crowded in your clutches and
The pressure's got me breaking

Unwind, refill, prepare
For some of that rock and roll delight
Distilled, lay bare
And it keeps me thinking
I'm your weekend lover on the side

So just put on the golden handcuffs
And let me walk you out of here
And how long can you linger
When you're living off of tears?

And who could ever turn you down
When you turn on all of the lights in town?

Unwind, refill, prepare
For some of that rock and roll delight
Distilled, lay bare
And it keeps me thinking
I'm your weekend lover on the side
On the side

And who could ever turn you down
When you turn on all of the lights in town?

Unwind, refill, prepare
For some of that rock and roll delight
Distilled, lay bare

ผมฟังมานานมากแล้วไม่ว่าเพลวไทยหรือสากลแกวางคำได้ดีมากแต่ไม่เข้าใจว่าคนที่ฟังเพลงแกมีน้อยมากในยุคนี้ผมเคยถามน้องๆวัยรุ่นว่าเคยฟังหรือเปล่าเค้าตอบว่าไม่เคยฟัง..
บอกได้เลยว่าเพลงของแกไม่เคยอิงกระแสเลยมีตัวตนของดนตรีดีมากครับ
