ROCKSTAR
The Poodles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hiding in the winds
Watching every move she makes
A champion in the ring
Then she starts to sing
chills and goosebumps neckhair standing
While she bents that string
So possesive
Not an ordinary girl
Almost shining like a pearl
She's a rockstar
She's the ordinary girl
Like an outcast of this world
She's a rockstar
Hi it's me again
I´m the one who wrote you, signed:
"Your one true only fan".
You remember, I can tell
I heard that you've been missing me
Just like a long lost friend
When you look into my eyes
You posses me
Not an ordinary girl
Almost shining like a pearl
She's a rockstar
We're the outcasts of this world
Just like kindred me and her
She´s my rockstar
Yes I've been away
on vacation you might say
Didn´t feel too good about myself
but your music make me stick it through
Not an ordinary girl (not an ordinary girl)
Almost shining like a pearl (almost shining like a pearl)
She's a rockstar
We're the outcasts of this world (ooooohhhhh)
Just like kindred me and her
Oh, she´s my rockstar
Not an ordinary girl (she's not an ordinary girl)
Oh, she's shining like a pearl
The Poodle's song "Rockstar" is an anthem dedicated to a woman who defies societal norms and expectations, living life like a rockstar. The song opens with the singer observing this woman from afar, admiring her every move, and watching her steal the spotlight with her voice and guitar skills. The woman exudes confidence and possesses an almost magnetic energy, captivating audiences with her performances. The lyrics convey the intensity of the singer's admiration, with lines like "chills and goosebumps neckhair standing while she bents that string", describing the goosebumps the singer gets when watching her perform.
The chorus of the song celebrates her as a rockstar, despite not conforming to society's expectations of a "normal" girl. She is described as shining like a pearl and being almost otherworldly, like an outcast who doesn't conform to societal expectations. The singer sees himself as a kindred spirit to her, seeing himself as an outcast too, drawn to this woman in admittance of their shared disposition.
In the second verse, the singer turns his attention to the woman herself, addressing her directly as his "rockstar." He reminds her of a letter he wrote, referring to himself as her "one true only fan." He notes that he's heard that she's been missing him, and then proceeds to express the depth of his obsessive feelings, saying she possesses him when he looks into her eyes.
Overall, the song celebrates a woman who dares to be different and lives her life like a rockstar, all while acknowledging the deep admiration of her fans who see her as a kindred spirit.
