ROCKSTAR
Mallrat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't make sense, don't understand why
Keep me guessin', make me crazy
Who's been messin' with my baby?
Fuck you for playin' games with my heart
And keepin' me in the dark
I loved you right from the start
Maybe, I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, when I've won all the Grammys
And I've got my own family
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, when I've won all the Grammys
And I've got my own family
I'll forget all about ya one day
I get you high, you roll me up in your Backwoods
I'm movin' forward while you're slippin' all backwards
It breaks my heart, oh, baby, baby, you're tragic
Don't think you're slick for cashin' in on my magic
Like a movie scene
Standin' in the rain
When you call my name
It'll be too late
Maybe, I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, when I've won all the Grammys
And I've got my own family
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, I'll fall in love with a rockstar
We'll be married forever
I'll forget all about ya one day
Maybe, when I've won all the Grammys
And I've got my own family
I'll forget all about ya one day

The verses of "Rockstar" paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship – one where the singer is left guessing about her lover's true intentions.

Despite this hurt, the chorus reveals a longing for a future where she is no longer haunted by this relationship. Mallrat imagines falling in love with a rockstar and forgetting all about her ex, and the repetition of the phrase "maybe one day" gives the song a sense of wistful optimism.

It'll be too late
I hope that when this ideal moment finally happens, it will be too late for you to make things right
