Runaways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can warm you up if you get too cold
I can bring you up when you're going down
I can smash your head all over this town
You gave me the answer
Now I got the answer, oh yeah
Come and get it boys
Queens of noise
Not just one of your toys
Queens of noise
I remember you at our second show
You were holding on and you wouldn't let go
And I bet you'll always be that way
Whenever you see us start to play
You gave me the answer
Now I got the answer, oh yeah
'Cause we're the queens of noise
Come and get it boys
Queens of noise
Not just one of your toys
Queens of noise
Queens of noise
Come and get it boys
Queens of noise
Not just one of your toys
Queens of noise
Come and get it boys
Queens of noise
Not just one of your toys
Queens of noise
The song "Queens of Noise" by the Runaways is a high-energy rock anthem that epitomizes the rebellious spirit of the band. The lyrics convey a sense of power and control, with lead singer Cherie Currie exclaiming that she has the ability to both warm you up and bring you down. In the chorus, the band declares themselves as the "Queens of Noise," beckoning the boys to come and get them. The song is a celebration of their status as boundary-pushing female rockers who are not to be underestimated or treated as mere objects.
The second verse is a nod to their loyal fanbase, with Cherie recalling a fan who was so enamored with them at their second show that he wouldn't let go. This represents the connection they had with their audience and the impact they had on their fans. The repetition of the phrase "you gave me the answer, now I got the answer" suggests that the Runaways have figured out how to succeed and make their mark in the male-dominated world of rock music.
Overall, "Queens of Noise" is a defiantly feminist song that celebrates the Runaways' unique brand of rock'n'roll. It showcases their confidence, sexuality, and raw energy while also challenging gender norms and stereotypes.
