Rock 'N' Roll Band
Scorpions_(p) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When passion rules I can’t slow down
I’m walking down the street of hungry hearts
Where heaven cries when angels fall
A hollywood stage, girls in a cage
Action, satisfaction, legs around the pole
Bang, I’m in the spot, give me that shot
You wanna know who I am?
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
In a rock ’n’ roll band
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
In a rock ’n’ roll band
Oh yeah, yes, I am
She walks into the light looking hot
I love the way she moves, oh my god
Just another tune, her heart goes boom
Come on, little lady, show me all you’ve got
Roaring machines, wet, wet dreams
Too much of everything can never be too much
Don’t wake me up, don’t bring me down
Rock ’n’ roll forever, that’s my drug
You wanna know who I am?
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
In a rock ’n’ roll band
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
In a rock ’n’ roll band
Oh yes, I am
Night after night
It’s like a rollercoaster ride
And when we’ll crash, we’re gonna fall
Into the heart of rock ’n’ roll
You wanna know who I am?
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
In a rock ’n’ roll band
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
Yeah, in a rock ’n’ roll band
Yes, I am
Rock ’n’ roll band
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
Yes, I am
In a rock ’n’ roll band
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll
I’m in a rock ’n’ roll band
The lyrics to Scorpions' song "Rock 'N' Roll Band" celebrate the life of being in a rock band. The singer is a musician, carrying his guitar and walking towards an audience of "hungry hearts." The passion to perform is evident, as he cannot slow down while playing. The song portrays the atmosphere of a rock concert, with girls in cages, booming machines, and wet dreams. The chorus repeats the phrase "you wanna know who I am? I'm in a rock 'n' roll band," emphasizing the pride and sense of identity that come with being a part of this lifestyle.
The verses use vivid, sexually-charged imagery that thrives in the rock genre, with the singer describing the girls on the stage as "legs around the pole" and stating "her heart goes boom" upon seeing a woman he's attracted to. The lyrics also imply that the high energy of a rock concert is almost addictive or intoxicating, with the line, "too much of everything can never be too much." As the song ends, the singer declares that being in a rock band is a constant rollercoaster, leading to ups and downs, but ultimately being worth it.
