Rock is dead
LUXT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Phetamine is for boys
An' Crucifixes for ladies
Sampled and soulless
Worldwide and real webbed
You sell all the living
To save all the dead
Anything to be loved
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests and
put them to bed
God is in the T.V.

1,000 mothers are praying for Hell
They're so full of hope & so full of shit
Build a new god
to medicate and to ape
Just like jesus
Crucified that day
Anything to be loved
anything to be loved
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests and
put them to bed
God is in the T.V.

so fuck all your protests and put em to bed
The song "Rock Is Dead" by LUXT begins with a scathing critique of modern society, calling out the masses as "simple monkeys with alien babies". The lyrics go on to highlight the ways in which people have become soulless, worldwide and real webbed by the constant consumption of media and the selling of living things to save the dead. The refrain "anything to be loved" highlights the desperation of people to be accepted, even at the cost of their own values and beliefs. The song then goes on to assert that rock music, once a symbol of rebellion and freedom, is now dead and replaced with a culture of shock and constant consumption of sex and drugs.
The theme of the song continues to explore the idea that society has lost its way and is now focused on empty consumerism and materialism rather than meaningful connection and growth. The line "God is in the T.V." suggests that the world's gods and idols are now found on screens and through media rather than in genuine experiences or relationships. The song is a poignant commentary on the state of society and the ways in which we have become disenchanted and disconnected.
