Might As Well
Something For Rockets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby looking at you darling you can't hardly breathe
Between the cigarettes and vodka tonics time spent on your knees
Don't blame me for this situation, it's all the same to me
And if you've got to stay down there that's how it has to be

Might as well
What would it take for us to be alone, again?
What could I say to get you in this bed, babe?
Forget all the times I messed your pretty head
What a shame
The night is not over

Forgive me; miscommunication shot you oh so sweet
With filthiness exuberance for leaving one's body
We all know who we are and we know who we want to be
Which manifests itself in dark rooms with wet sheets

Might as well
What would it take for us to be alone, again?
What could I say to get you in this bed, babe?
Forget all the times I messed your pretty head
What a shame
The night is not over
The night is not over

Might as well
What would it take for us to be alone, again?
And what could I say to get you in this bed, my babe?
Forget all the times I fucked your pretty head




What a shame
The night is not over

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Might As Well" by Something For Rockets speak of a push-pull dynamic between two people in a sexual relationship. The first verse suggests that the attraction between them is so intense that the singer can hardly catch their breath. However, this attraction comes at a cost - the reference to cigarettes and vodka tonics implies that both parties are engaging in harmful habits, while the reference to time spent on knees could be interpreted as a sexual reference. Yet, the singer does not take responsibility for this situation, suggesting that it is equally the other person's choice. The second verse speaks of a "miscommunication," possibly hinting at unspoken expectations or a lack of clarity in the relationship. As a result, the sex is portrayed as animalistic and filthy, with the affirmation that "we know who we want to be" suggesting a deeper yearning for connection and identity.


The chorus of "Might As Well" is an invitation to give in to the attraction between the two people. It asks what it would take for them to be alone again and hints at a desire to forget all the past mistakes and miscommunication. The repetition of the line "what a shame, the night is not over" suggests a sense of longing for more, even though the relationship has been messy and the attraction fraught.


Overall, the lyrics of "Might As Well" speak of the complexity of a sexual relationship, with all its messiness, miscommunication, and animalistic desires. It portrays the attraction between two people as both intense and harmful, but also irresistible.
