Rock Out
Motörhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear the music coming, loud as you can stand
You will never be the same again
Let the beat into you, let it turn you 'round
Let it be your best friend
You are the future, it's your time
You and you and you
Stay together this is yours and mine
What we're gonna do

Rock out, rock out, rock out
Let it crush your fear
Rock out, rock out, rock out
And you can get it here

Here comes the bass, thunder in the guts
Rock 'til you can't stand
Now the guitar speaks, gonna drive you nuts
Power under your hand
You are the people, now you shine
You and you and you
Stay together, let me speak the line
What you gonna do?

Rock out, rock out, rock out
Let it crush your fear
Rock out, rock out, rock out
You can get it here

Rock out, rock out, with your cock out
Impress your lady friends




Rock out, rock out, rock out
'Til your life is at an end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Motorhead's song "Rock Out" are an anthem for the power of music and the feeling of liberation it can bring. The opening lines soon set the tone for the electrifying experience that follows, as Lemmy Kilmister's distinctive gravelly voice leads the charge with the words "Hear the music coming, loud as you can stand, you will never be the same again." This immediately establishes the euphoric and life-changing nature of the music. The lyrics then encourage the listener to embrace the rhythm and let it become their "best friend," promising that they are "the future" and that this is their time.


The verses continue to harness the power of music as the bass and guitar drive the beat forward. The lines "Here comes the bass, thunder in the guts, rock 'til you can't stand" and "now the guitar speaks, gonna drive you nuts, power under your hand" paint a vivid description of the raw energy and unbridled passion that music can evoke. The refrain of "Rock out, rock out, rock out" becomes a rallying cry, encouraging the listeners to let go of their fears and inhibitions and fully immerse themselves in the experience.


Overall, "Rock Out" is a tribute to the transformative power of music and the sense of community it can build. The lyrics urge listeners to come together, to let the rhythm move them, and to rock out until they've left their mark on the world.

"Here comes the BASS, thunder in the guts"
Thank you Lemmy for the "thunder in the guts" from the first time I saw Motorhead live in '87 until I see you and again in Valhalla.
You will forever be the epitome of rock and roll, in human form.
