Rock Forever
Judas Priest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like to ease my mind
By jucin' up my system,
With the beat of a heavy kind
I smack a bottle open,
I crank the hi-fi high
I'm in-a seventh heaven
Ooh I can touch the sky
I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever
It's got the movin' to me
just that I can't explain,
It's like a brilliant sunshine
After standing in the pouring rain
My skin begins to tingle,
Ooh right on down my back
It's really got me fevered,
Pounding my senses flat
I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever
Rock rock rock forever (I love my)
Rock rock rock forever (my fever)
Rock rock rock forever (always gonna)
Rock rock rock forever
I can't stop talkin' about rock
Now get it right, boys
So when you get those blue days
Here's just what to do
Switch into this lifeline
And feel it rushing through
Before you know it, blue days
Are better left behind
By juicin' up your system
With this beat of a heavy kind
I'm in love, so in love
And I can't stop talking 'bout my rock forever
Rock forever
I'm gonna rock forever
The opening verses of Judas Priest's "Rock Forever" express the power of rock music to transport and elevate the singer's spirits. The act of "jucin' up" with "the beat of a heavy kind" is a form of catharsis, enabling the singer to "ease [their] mind" and transcend the everyday world. The metaphorical language the singer employs to describe this experience is striking - they are "in seventh heaven", "touching the sky", and experiencing a fever that "pounds [their] senses flat". Taken together, these phrases suggest that the singer feels an intense, almost spiritual connection to the music they love.

When the day is over,
At the end of a long day,
I like to ease my mind
I want to relax and unwind

News alert: The members of Judas Priest are in a hospital after terrible back pains. The pains were caused by holding heavy metal for 51 years on their backs.
Long live Judas Priest! Hail to the Metal Gods!
