Loud Fast Rules
Stimulators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now you say that you'll slow down, your quiet pace has let you down
And now you say that you will listen - I'll play it loud to get it through your thick head
'Cause now you're ready to slow down, your many friends have let you down
Loud rules, loud loud rules -- Fast rules, loud fast rules -- Our rules
We're gonna say it loud (LOUD!), we're gonna live it fast (FAST!)
You're dyin' to be seen, you're ready to be heard
We'll try it my way, let's do it my way
You want attention, you want affection, do you deserve it?
You want attention, you want affection, you'd better get it straight!
It's time I think you come around, it's time to stop being a clown
You want romance, I can see in a glance, you'd better get it straight
You want romance, can you take a chance, I can see in a glance
We're gonna play it loud (LOUD!), we're gonna live it fast (FAST!)
We'll try it my way, let's do it my way
You're dyin' to be seen, you're ready to be heard
We'll try it my way, we'll do it my way
You spend your life in coffee houses
You'll never see me there so stop and listen
I think it's time you come around
It's time to fill your head with sound
The lyrics of the song "Loud Fast Rules" by Stimulators revolve around the theme of rebellion against the mundane life and society's expectations. The persona in the song challenges the listener's traditional ways of living and their priorities. The opening line, "Your life's too set to ever see life," suggests that the listener is too narrow-minded and has a limited outlook on life. The persona believes that the listener will never comprehend their point of view, and hence, will not get what they want from them.
The song then moves on to talk about the listener's change of heart. They claim to have slowed down in life and are ready to listen. The persona decides to take advantage of this newfound willingness to learn and educate them with their ways. They sing, "I'll play it loud to get it through your thick head." The use of the word "thick" indicates that the persona believes the listener is dense and requires an aggressive approach to learn.
The chorus emphasizes the song's title, "Loud Fast Rules," and becomes almost like a rallying cry for those who want to rebel against traditional ways of living. The lines, "We're gonna say it loud (LOUD!), we're gonna live it fast (FAST!)" seem to encourage the listener to adopt a similar attitude towards life. The song ends with a message of hope, where the persona tells the listener that it's "time to fill your head with sound," suggesting that they need to broaden their thinking and live life to the fullest.
