BELIEVE IN ROCK'N ROLL
KUWATA BAND Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was young and
I looked ahead, Un Hun Hun
When I would go out and
get a job, Un Hun
Could not imagine me
with a jacket
Tie and big bank loans to repay
I took my girl aside,
and said I think it's time
And though it's easier
to say than get done
We've got a dream to fulfil
No one knows
if we will be hearing music
That we play on the radio
I can recall conversations back,
Un Hun Hun
My old man told me
that I had no chance, Un Hun
"Don't lose your senses,
son, success
And money won is
just like playing a game"
The stakes are very high,
your life is on the line
There are no chips
an easy fortune can buy
But if you're lucky enough
And all your dreams come true
Then you might hear your music
playing on the radio
Alright! Believe in rock'n roll
It's alright! Un Hun!
Alright! Believe in rock'n roll
It's alright! Un Hun!

I had been saving
for a rainy day
I knew that it might become
hard to stay alive
So I looked to my honey, said
Here in the city,
no one cares if you live or die
I travel night and day
for just a chance to play
And though it's easier
to say than get done
We've got the highs and the lows
And that's the way it goes
Maybe we'll hear the music
playing on the radio
Alright! Believe in rock'n roll
It's alright! Un Hun!
Alright! Believe in rock'n roll
It's alright! Un Hun!

Alright! Believe in rock'n roll
It's alright! Un Hun!
Alright! Believe in rock'n roll
It's alright! Un Hun!
Alright! Believe in rock'n roll
It's alright! Un Hun!
Alright! Believe in rock'n roll




It's alright! Un Hun!
Alright! Un Hun!

Overall Meaning

The KUWATA BAND's song "Believe In Rock'n Roll" is an anthem to the dreamers and the believers who pursue their passion for music with all their heart. The lyrics reflect on the doubts and criticisms the singer faced while pursuing his music career, but he remained resolute in his belief in rock and roll. The first verse describes the singer's reluctance to conform to society's norms and expectations of a steady job with a jacket and tie, opting to pursue his dream with his girlfriend by his side. The second verse reveals the singer's sacrifice and perseverance, hitchhiking and traveling night and day to get a chance to play his rock music, never losing his faith in the power of rock and roll.


The chorus is a repeated chant of "Believe in rock'n roll, it's alright, Un Hun!". The words 'Un Hun' are used to emphasize the idea of a positive affirmation, kind of like giving themselves a nod of agreement, that it's alright to believe in rock and roll. The song's overall message is simple but powerful- follow your passion and keep believing that dreams can come true, no matter how hard the journey might be.
