Rockstar
Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai rêvé d'être une Rockstar
J'ai arrêter l'école pour devenir une rockstar
Mais devenir une rockstar c'est un cauchemar
Devenir une rockstar
J'ai rêvé d'être une rockstar
C'est pas mon truc de dépenser des milliards
dans des bouteilles de saint-émilion
J'ai traversé mille gares, connus mille galères
Toi tu parles beaucoup mais tu fais que bouffer du Milka
C'est bien les cent mais maintenant c'est les 1000k que nous visons
J'arrive comme si j'étais bulgare
Je viens de me réveiller j'ai rêvé que j'étais une rockstar
Petit déjà j'étais old school
Promesse de boy scout
Je sais que c'est ennuyant je vais la faire courte
Je suis dans Gta Gta et j'ai le cheat code
Il a le cheat code
Il a arrêter l'école pour devenir une rockstar
Mais devenir une rockstar c'est un cauchemar
Il a le cheat code
J'arrive dans le magasin je prend un costard
J'ai toujours rêvé de décrocher un oscar
On a le cheat code et de vendre des Cd jusqu'à Moscou
Ah et j'ai failli m'appeller oscar
Au grand jamais vendre la peau de l'ours
J'arrive en retard et ils appellent au secours
On a le cheat code
On a la bonne source
On a la bonne source
Je suis venu réveiller le lion qui sommeille en moi, moi
Réveiller le lion qui sommeille en moi
Je suis venu réveiller le monstre qui sommeille en nous tous
Ici pour communiquer pas de bluetooth
Ah je suis venu vous réveiller avant les coups de douze
J'ai rêvé d'être une Rockstar
J'ai arrêter l'école pour devenir une rockstar
Mais devenir une rockstar c'est un cauchemar
Devenir une rockstar
J'ai rêvé d'être une rockstar
J'ai rêvé d'être une Rockstar

J'ai arrêter l'école pour devenir une rockstar
Mais devenir une rockstar c'est un cauchemar
Devenir une rockstar
La musique, le football et les pétards
Ne passerons jamais avant ma femme
Comme ça, comme ça c'est clair, clair
Tout d'un coup soleil et comme ça s'éclaire, clair
Comme ça s'éclaire
Je parle pa des soirées avenue des Ternes
Devant l'éternel sommeil infernal
Subtil comme avis de mère
fragile comme navire de guerre
Avis de tempête
Je débarque quand tout le monde s'entête
Quand tout le monde se rappelle la victoire de l'amour
Tout le monde se tait
Ah il a le cheat code
J'arrive rockstar, full à la main
Ils m'éduquèrent comme El-Alamein
Black star full Aladin
J'y met du coeur
Tout le monde s'y met (I wanna be a rockstar)
J'arrive rockstar full à la main
Ils m'éduquèrent comme El-Alamein
Black star full Aladin
J'y met du coeur
Tout le monde s'y met, Tout le monde s'y met
Black star full Aladin
Il n'en restera rien à la fin
Black star full Aladin
Full Aladin
Full Aladin
J'ai rêvé d'être une rockstar
Mais je serais jamais une rockstar
J'ai pas l'étoffe pour
J'ai pas les épaules pour faire comme Mick Jagger
J'en fume un dernier et j'attend la mort.




Je serais jamais une rockstar
Parce que devenir une rockstar c'est un cauchemar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nelson's song "Rockstar" convey the dream of becoming a rockstar, but also highlight the challenges and difficulties that come with this aspiration. The song starts with the line "J'ai rêvé d'être une Rockstar" which means "I dreamed of being a rockstar." This sets the tone for the song as the singer expresses their desire and ambition to pursue a career in music.


The lyrics further emphasize the sacrifices the singer has made to achieve their dream. They mention quitting school, which suggests a willingness to prioritize their music career over traditional education. However, the line "Mais devenir une rockstar c'est un cauchemar" translates to "But becoming a rockstar is a nightmare," indicating the challenges and hardships they have encountered along the way.


Throughout the song, there are references to fame, success, and the pressures that come with it. The mention of spending billions on wine and facing various difficulties and hardships symbolizes the complex and often unpredictable nature of pursuing a career in the music industry. The repeated line of "J'ai rêvé d'être une rockstar" reinforces the dreamlike nature of their aspirations.


In the latter part of the song, Nelson reflects on their self-doubt and realization that they may never achieve the status of a rockstar like Mick Jagger. They mention smoking one last cigarette and waiting for death, expressing a sense of resignation and acceptance of their limitations.


Overall, "Rockstar" captures the ambition and struggle associated with pursuing a career in music, while also acknowledging the complexities and potential disillusionment that can accompany that dream.

ESTRELA DO ROCK

Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
Você acha que sua vida é uma bola em sequência agora
(Estrela do rock)
Bem, viver como se já estivesse morto
Está apenas louco agora
(Estrela do rock)
Eu finalmente entendi que é um passeio sem retorno agora
(Estrela do rock)

Não consigo conter o superman dentro de mim
Então empurre suas sombras
Eu quero meu foco
Oh

Então eu vou viver como uma estrela do rock
Espalharei as minhas asas e voarei
Como uma estrela rockstar de sucesso
Rodeando por aí

Minha garota é uma super modelo
Meu carro é uma limusine
É um estado de espírito
Se você souber o que quero dizer, cara
(Estrela do rock)

Estou vivendo como se eu fosse uma estrela do rock
Talvez você deva fazer o mesmo
(Estrela do rock)

Não serei o fantasma em uma sala lotada agora
(Estrela do rock)
Eu terei tempo para me preocupar quando estiver no meu túmulo
(Estrela do rock)
O que o rei diria se ele estivesse aqui agora?
(Estrela do rock)

Ele diria
Você é uma lenda e não está no espelho retrovisor
Seu tempo é agora
Seu lugar é aqui

Oh
Eu vou viver como se eu fosse uma estrela do rock
E faço meu mundo inteiro
Como uma estrela rockstar de sucesso
Eu vou posar como se eu tivesse um disco de platina
Uma mansão em uma colina
Imagino que eu tenho hoje e o que finalmente terei
Sim

Eu vou viver como se eu fosse uma estrela do rock
Você saberá meu nome
Sim sim sim sim
Estará no Hall of Fame
Talvez você deva fazer o mesmo
(Estrela do rock)

Você pode pegar um número e ficar na fila
Seja um nome na lista telefônica
Você vai dormir como um grão nas areias do tempo
Não me arrependo da chance e do que nunca fiz
Eu não posso vencer, mas vou fazer você parecer
Causar

Eu vou viver como se eu fosse uma estrela do rock
Beijo de adeus as regras
Como uma estrela rockstar de sucesso
Vou ficar somente com as garotas que quero estar
Gente eles querem ser
Você vai jurar que viu meu single na sua MTV

Oh
Eu vou viver como se eu fosse uma estrela do rock
De quem a banda é do Hall of Fame
Sim, você saberá meu nome
sim Sim Sim
Talvez você deva fazer o mesmo
(Estrela do rock)
(Estrela do rock)

sim Sim SIM SIM
(Estrela do rock)
Talvez você deva fazer o mesmo
(Estrela do rock)
sim Sim SIM SIM
(Estrela do rock)
Você vai conhecer meu nome
(Estrela do rock)

The Nelson Twins sound much better now than on their first two albums. Someone please help us and give them their well-deserved recognition.

Muito PHODA, LOVE NELSON'S

Maria Day

I love it. I've been missing the old Nelson sound so much. It's wonderful to hear it again. This is the sound that made me fall in love with this group. I'm sad to know this is the last Nelson album though. We could use the Nelson sound these days. I wish  Matt and Gun all the best always. Been loving you guys for a long time now and always will.

pegnpaul2000

@Maria Day This isn't their last album. Only their last album as Nelson. They will be going forward, after this one and releasing more albums, but under their given names. Matthew & Gunnar Nelson (or something like that). Just a new directions for them. Have you heard of the last album they did, Lightning Strikes Twice? It has a song on it, "You're All I Need Tonight", that was actually written for After the Rain, but didn't make the cut. LST was meant to be the "sequel", if you will, to ATR. It is a great album!! I've played the two back to back, ATR then LST and they run together perfectly! You'd never know they were written/recorded 20 years apart!

fetishavamp

I'm I the only one who thinks this song has a
Bon Jovi vibe to it? I love it!

Michelle Sweitzet

This is pure nelson right down Gun's great vocal
