Rock'n'roll
Nel feat. ST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna sit next to you
Taste the Milky Way
Wrapped, trapped inside another life
In the galaxy
Press ready and we'll find the light
Satisfy my soul
Light years passed darkest ages
There's one little thing you might need to know
When you cut me once or twice
And then it shows
Bleed rock n roll
I wanna hit the jackpot, baby
Fill my soul
Rock n roll
Heart jumping when I touch the sky
I can feel it in the breeze
Planets moving in and out of view
Bring you to your knees
Barbed wire wrapped around my knuckles
I'm ready for the thrill
Coming up like a fine horizon
Rolling down the hill
There's one little thing you might need to know
When you cut me once or twice
And then it shows
Bleed rock n roll
I wanna hit the jackpot, baby
Fill my soul
Rock n roll
And you think you've had enough
When you're so close
You feel the edge is slipping
From your fingers
Hit the gas
You can't slow down
And I bleed
Rock n roll
I wanna hit the jackpot
Singing out
Rolling all night long
We feel it underground
As they run from the sound
Shadows hit light
Blood covered in white
All the dust settles from the fire brigade
The sun is shining down on
Rock n roll
The song "Rock'n'Roll" by Nel feat. ST is a rock anthem that speaks to the desire for the high life, the thrill of success, and the passion for music. The song opens up with mentioning about burning with the desire to sit next to someone and taste the Milky Way. The lyrics are a metaphor for wanting to experience the ultimate high or the ultimate thrill, and it suggests that being close to someone who can provide that experience is desired. The next lines dive deep into the desire to escape from the current life and to enter another galaxy where there is light and satisfaction. The lyrics suggest a desire for more from life, and the emptiness that one may feel by remaining trapped in the current reality.
The next couple of lines include images of the past crumbling, and the hope that rock and roll can bring. And then, there is a mention of bleeding rock and roll, which can be interpreted as bleeding from the passion of music or pursuing the high life. The line, "I wanna hit the jackpot, baby, fill my soul," reaffirms the desire for success and fulfillment. The chorus then repeats with the hope to hit the jackpot by bleeding rock and roll.
The second verse dives into the experience that the singer has with the high life. There is a suggestion of intense anticipation and excitement, with imagery of the heart jumping and the planets moving in and out of view. The lyrics suggest that the singer is ready for a thrill and is already grasping on to the barbed wire, ready to experience the ultimate high. The song ends with a call for more rock and roll and a suggestion that it is the ultimate force that can bring people together and move them.
