Rock It
Little Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Laying down beside my side
And the restless in your eyes
to reach before the morning rise
Out on the street corner again
I turn around and see my friend
Some get forward, some get low
Rock it to the break of day
Don't stop rocking now, no way
If everybody feels the same
This is why we play these games
Rock it to the early dawn
Soon those good times will be gone
Everything I ever had, if I could have
One night like that
C'mon, DJ play us one more song
We've been waiting all night long
Just about to lose our minds
So play that rrhythm one more time
And now they're clearing out the floor
We never made it there at all
Still not ready to go home
But no-one knows which way to go
Rock it to the break of day
Don't stop rocking now, no way
If everybody feels the same
This is why we play these games
Rock it to the early dawn
Soon those good times will be gone
Everything I ever had, if I could have
One night like that
The lyrics of Little Red's song "Rock It" are about the energy and excitement of dancing all night long with someone special. The singer is describing being with their partner in the night, "alive" and "all of the color in the night." They describe their restless eyes that they can't take their gaze off of, and the desire to make the most of their time together before morning comes.
The song then transitions to being out on the street corner with friends, feeling the beat of the music and not knowing where the night will take them. But through it all, they keep dancing and rocking to the rhythm of the song, as it keeps them feeling alive and free. They are pleading with the DJ to keep playing more songs, as they don't want the night to end.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this desire to keep dancing and rocking until the early dawn, to make the most of their time together before it all slips away. The lyrics illustrate a feeling of being alive and free, and wanting to hold onto that feeling for as long as possible.

Agreed! I still love this track. Was the band around for long? I remember this from 10 years ago when I was living in Australia. Were they ‘one hit wonders’?
