Heavy Metal
Soundswitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave 'em very far behind
You can hedge your bet on a clean corvette
To get you there right on time
Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive
Baby the green lights are on
It's like you're runnin away on some high octane
Every time she reached the boulevard
Won't you take a ride, ride, ride
On heavy metal
It's the only way that you can travel
Down that road
Satisfied, fied, fied
On heavy metal
Baby won't you ride
Ride it until it explodes
Heavy Metal
My oh my how this lady can fly
Once she starts rollin' to leave you
You know you just can't lose the way she moves
You wait for her to finally release you
It's not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise
You've gotta get your redline fever
'Cause there is just on cure that they know for sure
You just become a heavy metal believer
Won't you take a ride, ride, ride
On heavy metal
It's the only way that you can travel
Down that road
Satisfied, fied, fied
On heavy metal
Baby won't you ride
Ride it until it explodes

The lyrics of Soundswitch's song "Heavy Metal" talk about the exhilarating feeling of driving a fast car, particularly a "clean corvette," with the windows down and the wind in your hair. The singer invites the listener to "take a ride on heavy metal" as it's the only way to travel with satisfaction down that road. The reference to heavy metal in the lyrics seems to be a nod to the genre of music that was popularized in the 1970s and 80s, as driving fast cars and listening to heavy metal often went hand in hand.
The lyrics also convey a sense of freedom and escapism, as the singer encourages the listener to leave their troubles behind and embrace a heart-pumping and adrenaline-fueled ride. The guitar solo towards the end of the song further emphasizes this feeling of freedom and excitement.
Overall, "Heavy Metal" is a song about living life to the fullest and enjoying the moment, whether that's through driving a flashy car or listening to loud music.
