Rolling Stone
The Terrys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is reality changing
Or is it just me?
Cause I'm a young man in the big world
On these Australian streets
And some things you could never plan for
Yeah I heard that on the phone to Rolling Stone
So tell me something that you stand for
Well honestly now I don't know

Ooh make the call
Ooh make the call

Now I got to make some decisions
While my mind is playing tricks on me
And I don't know who I'm kidding
So I just let the music speak

Ooh make the call
Ooh make the call

You only want that on the weekend
You gonna miss her come Monday
You only want that on the weekend
You gonna miss her come Monday





Make the call
Ooh make the call

Overall Meaning

The Terry's song Rolling Stone reflects the confusion and uncertainty felt by a young man trying to navigate through life in Australia. The lyrics suggest the singer is experiencing a sense of isolation, unsure if he is affected by changes in reality or if it is just him. The reference to Rolling Stone magazine in the opening verse highlights the singer's desire to understand the world around him and to know what others stand for. However, his confusion and lack of direction is highlighted in the subsequent line, "Honestly now I don't know."


The chorus of the song, "Ooh make the call," serves as a call to action for the singer to take control of his life and make the necessary decisions to move forward. The second verse acknowledges the singer's struggle to differentiate between reality and his own thoughts, suggesting mental health issues or anxiety. The line "I just let the music speak" suggests that music is a therapeutic outlet for him, a place where he can find answers and express himself freely.


The bridge of the song addresses themes of love and relationships, suggesting the singer only wants companionship on the weekends but will regret missing their partner once Monday comes around. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, amplifying the importance of taking action and making decisions in life.


Line by Line Meaning

Is reality changing
Am I the only one sensing a shift in reality?


Or is it just me?
Or am I just imagining things?


Cause I'm a young man in the big world
Because I'm a young man navigating the complexities of the world


On these Australian streets
In this particular setting of Australia


And some things you could never plan for
And there are some things that no amount of preparation can anticipate


Yeah I heard that on the phone to Rolling Stone
I learned that lesson while being interviewed by Rolling Stone


So tell me something that you stand for
Share with me a belief or value that you hold dear


Well honestly now I don't know
To be frank, I don't have a clear answer to that either


Now I got to make some decisions
Now I am faced with the task of making important choices


While my mind is playing tricks on me
While my thoughts and perceptions are muddled and uncertain


And I don't know who I'm kidding
And I am unsure if I am fooling others or myself


So I just let the music speak
So I allow the power and emotion of music to communicate what words cannot


You only want that on the weekend
You are only interested in this particular thing on a temporary basis


You gonna miss her come Monday
You will regret not having that thing once the weekend is over


Make the call
Make a decision


Ooh make the call
Emphasizing the urgency and importance of making a decision
