Rocket From The Tombs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see everybody's aura fading
They can't be themselves
without being anxious
판단 당하기 무서워서
레귤러 사이 숨었어
그릇의 크기는 손에 쥐어 든 커피컵

Drop drop drop it
딱 여기까지
다른 사람 놀이 하지 않기로
너의 어제 오늘 그리고 내일은 yours
시선 따위 don't care anymore

Yeh the stars are looking
straight down on us
우주는 끝이 안 보여
Yeh I'ma build a rocket
I'ma build a rocket 구름 뚫어
번지 launch it
Yeh got me singing like

Ooh zoom
방향키 왜 잡어
Just let it roll out
Ooh zoom
겁먹지마
But 어딜 갈진 몰라
Ooh Build a rocket with me
Ooh Blast it up to the sky
Ooh Look, we fly so high
Ooh Yeh so high ah

Yeh will you fly with me
벗어나 this gravity
머리 비워 Nirvana
So come as you are
But question
How long you be on your phone
When the moon is big and bright
Do your dance dance
in the moonlight

Yeh I'm down down
너와 함께라면 어디든지
좋은 음악이 나와
너와 나 jiggy all night uh
Please don't kill my vibe
Please don't kill my high
Finally I realize
All along love was by my side
It's true

Yeh the stars are looking
straight down on us
우주는 끝이 안 보여
Yeh I'ma build a rocket
I'ma build a rocket 구름 뚫어
번지 launch it
Yeh got me singing like

Ooh zoom
방향키 왜 잡어
Just let it roll out
Ooh zoom
겁먹지마
But 어딜 갈진 몰라
Ooh Build a rocket with me
Ooh Blast it up to the sky
Ooh Look, we fly so high
Ooh Yeh so high ah

Ooh Singing like
Ooh Singing like
Ooh Singing like
Ooh Singing like

Ooh zoom
방향키 왜 잡어
Just let it roll out
Ooh zoom
겁먹지마
But 어딜 갈진 몰라
Ooh Build a rocket with me
Ooh Blast it up to the sky
Ooh Look, we fly so high
Ooh Yeh so high ah

Ooh 눈앞이 바로 달나라잖아 oh




Ooh 도착지가 없어도
있으면 돼 네 손만

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Seventeen by Rocket From The Tombs talk about the fear of being judged and not being able to be ourselves. The opening lines describe the aura of everyone fading, which can be interpreted as losing their individuality due to societal pressure. The fear of being judged is so intense that people are hiding their true selves even among regular acquaintances. The next line mentioning the size of the cup the singer holds can be an allegory to the pressure of society and how it is constraining their true potential, much like a small cup not being able to hold much coffee.


The chorus of the song shifts to a more optimistic tone, with the artist suggesting building a rocket to escape this societal pressure. They want to break free from the shackles and soar high, just like a rocket that can break through clouds and reach for the sky. They don't care about the society's judgment or the fear of the unknown, as they are prepared to embrace the journey no matter where it takes them. In the end, they express their desire for love and togetherness and how it was always by their side, making them realize that fear and societal pressure are not worth it.


Overall, the song is an appeal to break free from societal pressure and embrace individuality, even if it leads us to unknown destinations. It talks about the fear of judgment and the importance of love and togetherness in countering societal pressure.
