The Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

我记得小的时候 我看着电视吓的发抖
那电视里面的人披头散发好像发疯
我不懂 他们为何背着吉他猛摇头 我妈告诉我 那是庙会里的乩童
他们喜欢就把吉他摔个稀烂 我想他们要告诉大家 我的臂力很强
他们习惯全身穿着黑色的皮衣皮裤 紧身的程度 快要超越卫生裤
拿起麦克风 就像拿着大声公 动不动就斯吼 yeah
他们最爱 刺青 刺满全身最酷 但我猛一看以为是张 世界地图
有些人在脸上画的乌漆妈黑 我忍不住要唱乌漆妈黑 我会怕黑
难怪吴宗宪会说 见鬼啦 但是这些人都大声唱
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是HipHop其实也不错
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是现在流行的是HipHop
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是HipHop其实也不错
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是现在流行的是HipHop
我开始好奇 这种东西到底谁先发明
原来是一个叫做披头四的团体
经过我的研究 发现他们都在抄袭
因为披头四都顶着猪哥亮的发型
他们穿着西装打扮整齐 夹着腿唱歌就像那个小哥费玉清
搞了半天这个经典团体 原来是猪哥亮与费玉清的综合体
就让我跟你说 这不是太难懂 摇滚乐它其实也分了很多种
如果你是娘娘腔 你就是英伦摇滚 你喀药後 你变成了迷幻摇滚
脸上打了一堆洞戴了一堆耳环 表示你是不折不扣的庞克摇滚
你不想活了 你就去听死亡摇滚
这些吵死人的东西都叫Rock'n Roll
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是HipHop其实也不错
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是现在流行的是HipHop
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是HipHop其实也不错
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是现在流行的是HipHop
我打开报纸发现有好多摇滚乐团 原来我们也有Rock'n Roll
从地下到地上 从台湾到中国 有一狗票的人在玩Rock'n Roll
我听说最近最红的乐团 叫做苏打绿 这是一首简单的小情歌
有人说主唱很娘 错 它是娘娘
有个视觉系的团体 他们叫做闪灵 最大的成就 就是代言化妆品
香港就属beyond最有名 we miss you 家骏 rest in peace
有一个唐朝的团体他们来自北京 除了摇滚 他还兼卖甜品
随便啦 反正在这年头 大家都叫他们Rock'n roll
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是HipHop其实也不错
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是现在流行的是HipHop
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是HipHop其实也不错
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是现在流行的是HipHop
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是HipHop其实也不错
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是现在流行的是HipHop
I Love Rock'n Roll
但是HipHop其实也不错




I Love Rock'n Roll

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Men's song "Gun" explore the evolution and popularity of different music genres, particularly rock and hip-hop, while also reflecting on the influence of various rock bands and artists.


In the first verse, the singer recalls being scared while watching people on television with wild hair and intense headbanging. They didn't understand why these people were carrying guitars and rocking their heads back and forth, but their mother explained that they were like fortune tellers at a temple fair. These performers liked smashing guitars to demonstrate their strength. They also wore tight black leather outfits, almost like sanitary pants, and held microphones as if they were loudspeakers, shouting and screaming. The singer suggests that these performers are expressing their coolness through tattoos, which cover their bodies like a world map. Some people even draw dark and intense patterns on their faces, prompting the singer to sing about these dark patterns and their own fear of darkness.


The chorus reflects the singer's admiration for rock and roll, stating that they love it. However, they acknowledge that hip-hop is also great, and they recognize that hip-hop is more popular at the moment. This chorus repeats several times throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's appreciation for both genres and acknowledging the shifting trends in music.


In the second verse, the singer becomes curious about the origins of rock and roll and discovers a group called "The Beatles" who they believe were plagiarizing Piggy Leong's hairstyle. The singer points out that the Beatles dressed in suits and sang with crossed legs like the Taiwanese singer Fei Yu-Ching. The singer humorously suggests that "The Beatles" was actually a combination of Piggy Leong and Fei Yu-Ching. They explain that rock and roll actually encompasses many subgenres, using examples like British rock and mystical rock to illustrate the different styles. The singer continues to mention punk rock and death rock as subgenres. They conclude that all these noisy things are part of rock and roll, indicating the diversity within the genre.


The final verse highlights the presence of rock bands and artists in the music industry. The singer mentions the popularity of rock bands in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Beijing, including Sodagreen, whom some people may consider sounding feminine but are not. They also mention a visual band called Shining, who gained success from endorsing cosmetics. Beyond, a famous band from Hong Kong, is remembered, and the singer expresses their longing for the late member, Wong Ka-Jun. Additionally, they mention a band from Beijing called Tang Dynasty, who not only played rock but also sold desserts. Ultimately, the singer states that in today's times, everyone is referred to as rock and roll, suggesting that the term has broadened to encompass various styles and genres.


The repeated chorus reinforces the singer's love for rock and roll while acknowledging hip-hop's current popularity. The lyrics overall reflect the singer's admiration for both genres and their recognition of the ever-changing landscape of music trends.
