XPQ-21 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beat me like a rocket
Treat me like a pocket
Do it like a nun
Love me
Treat me like a rocket
Beat me like a nun
The lyrics of XPQ-21's "Rock It" seems like a contradiction and an irony at the same time. The song talks about treating someone violently and aggressively, but with love and care. For example, the lines "Beat me like a rocket" and "Treat me like a pocket" show how the person wants to be dealt with violently and harshly, while the line "Love me" emphasizes the need for affection and care. Similarly, the opening line "Beat me like a rocket" aims to draw a parallel between a rocket’s initial acceleration, which is rough and bumpy but becomes smooth and steady as it travels, with how the person would like to be treated.
The metaphorical line "Do it like a nun" is a bit tricky to interpret, but it could mean to do something with a pure heart and for the greater good. In Catholicism, nuns are seen as devoted to God and Christianity, selfless and living a life of sacrifice. Therefore, the song could mean to love someone in a pure and selfless way.
Overall, the song "Rock It" speaks of a person who desires a combination of rough treatment and tenderness. It is an interesting and complex composition that aims to convey a particular message.
