The Rock
Nico and friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, solo piacere solo lussuria
Rompere le regole, avere l'oro
Ed esporlo con ostinazione in pubblico
La distruzione nello specchio del bagno
La rivincita sul pulpito ad inneggiare
Tra i filamenti di diamanti
Tra le gambe, le tue gambe
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
La poesia della mia vita
Sempre sull'orlo della perfetta ipocrisia
Succhio succhio i tuoi seni
E respiro l'ossigeno della sazietà
A rialzarmi dal letto ci pensa l'assuefazione al mio mondo
Che sull'insoddisfazione individuale
Ha inscenato la soddisfazione sociale
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Giungo alle porte di Las Vegas
Con Gioconda Roadster Zonda
Ora tocca a Donna
Il mio culo è posato su Vite di scarto
Sangue sesso soldi quanto potere potrà condermi
Fino alla fine del soffio vitale
Quanto del volo sincero e spontaneo
È rimasto in questo cielo così artificiale
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Suite Hotel Supramonte
A farsi tutto quello che passa tra le mani
Donna porge Champagne e mi sussurra
"Siamo sull'Olimpo del mondo"
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
Sex, drugs and rock'n roll
The lyrics to Nico and Friend's song "The Rock" are a commentary on brashness and rebellion in the rock 'n roll lifestyle. The first verse describes a desire to break rules, have money, and show it off in public. The subsequent lines about destruction in the bathroom mirror and revenge on the pulpit suggest a desire to reject societal norms, embrace hedonism, and achieve individual satisfaction. The chorus repeats the famous phrase, "Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll."
The second verse continues with more descriptions of a hedonistic lifestyle, with tongue-in-cheek lines about "the poetry of my life" always being on the brink of perfect hypocrisy. The lines about sucking on breasts and breathing in satisfaction suggest a blurring of pleasure and addiction. And the idea of addiction being the only thing that can get the singer out of bed implies an emptiness, a lack of motivation beyond indulgence. The chorus repeats again, hammering home the theme of the song.
The third verse brings the listener into the world of Las Vegas, with mentions of cars and money and power. The lines about how much power money can provide and how artificial this world is further reinforce the message that rebellion and indulgence are the only means of real satisfaction. The song ends with a reference to a fancy hotel and an encounter with a woman who whispers, "We're on the Olympus of the world," highlighting the idea of being at the top of the social ladder, achieving fame and fortune, and yet still feeling empty.

We're all about that rock and roll lifestyle, baby
Baby, solo piacere solo lussuria
It's all about pleasure and lust, nothing else matters
Rompere le regole, avere l'oro
We break the rules and live like kings
Ed esporlo con ostinazione in pubblico

La distruzione nello specchio del bagno
We're on the verge of self-destruction, staring at our reflections in the bathroom mirror
La rivincita sul pulpito ad inneggiare
We've taken revenge against the establishment by claiming the pulpit and singing our own praises
Tra i filamenti di diamanti
Amid a glittering display of diamonds
Tra le gambe, le tue gambe
Between your legs, baby

We live and die by the mantra of sex, drugs, and rock and roll

A rialzarmi dal letto ci pensa l'assuefazione al mio mondo
My addiction to this lifestyle is what gets me out of bed every day
Che sull'insoddisfazione individuale
Even though it's fueled by my own personal discontent
Ha inscenato la soddisfazione sociale
It's all just a show to make me feel validated by society
Giungo alle porte di Las Vegas
I arrive at the doorstep of Las Vegas
Con Gioconda Roadster Zonda
In my expensive Gioconda Roadster Zonda
Ora tocca a Donna
Now it's Donna's turn to partake
Il mio culo è posato su Vite di scarto
I'm sitting on a pile of waste
Sangue sesso soldi quanto potere potrà condermi
How much power can blood, sex, and money afford me?
Fino alla fine del soffio vitale
Until my dying breath
Quanto del volo sincero e spontaneo
How much of my true and spontaneous self remains
È rimasto in questo cielo così artificiale
In this artificial sky?
Suite Hotel Supramonte
At the Suite Hotel Supramonte
A farsi tutto quello che passa tra le mani
We indulge in whatever comes our way
Donna porge Champagne e mi sussurra
Donna hands me champagne and whispers in my ear
"Siamo sull'Olimpo del mondo"
"We're on top of the world"
