Rock and Roll Dandy
Me Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First time when I walked in was eighteen
Dusky lights I couldn't see
And the walls were stained with cigarettes
Mark of spilled liquars on plaid floor
And then I come to realize
It's a spcial place for rock and roll

A place where I can breathe
A place where I can only be myself
And set me free

Loading all our gears in a small van
Driving all across the land
We've been making noizes everywhere

All the places wondeful to play
But here's the one and only place
Nothing really is comparable

A place where I can breathe
A place where I can only be myself
Fulled with all those countless special memories

Stand up
Please keeping it alive
Alright
All your friends are always here
Stand up
For the future of the kids
Alright
Never ever give up
Never ever give up

Together we all laughed and cried
We've came along all things together




Legendary things
Keep on being loved by everyone

Overall Meaning

The song "Rock and Roll Dandy" by Me is a nostalgic and emotional exploration of the bond between a musician and a venue that symbolizes the spirit of the rock and roll lifestyle. The lyrics describe the first encounter of the singer with the venue, which is shrouded in darkness and mystery, yet exudes an aura of authenticity that resonates with the singer. The walls are stained with cigarette smoke, and the floor marked by spilled drinks, which shows that the place has a history of wild and passionate performances. However, the singer realizes that this is no ordinary dive bar, but a holy temple of rock and roll that enables him to be himself and feel free.


The second part of the song is a tribute to the touring life of a band and how every place they play has its own charm and appeal, but nothing compares to the special connection they have with their favorite venue. The lyrics suggest that playing in this venue is not just a gig, but a spiritual experience that creates countless special memories. The singer calls on his friends and the younger generation to continue this legacy of keeping rock and roll alive and honoring the legendary moments that have happened in the venue.
