Cocktail
Y.O.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One golden rule, no rules at all
Two fingers been poised down on to you
You better make sure they got something to do
Two fingers now what a surprise
Mama can't believe what happens before her eyes
Her little darling once so small
Never could believe you'd grow up at all
Well do we miss you, yes we do
Father sends his regards to you
Will I write well once in while
I'll send my love and a Molotov cocktail
Two fingers poking at the world
One golden rule, no rules at all
Two fingers been poised down on to you
You better make sure they got something to do
Two fingers now what a surprise
Mama can't believe what happens before her eyes
Her little darling once so small
Never could believe you'd grow up at all
Do we miss you, yes we do
Father sends his regards to you
Will I write well once in while
I'll send my love and a Molotov cocktail
Do we miss you, yes we do
Father sends his regards to you
Will I write well once in while
I'll send my love and a Molotov cocktail
Do we miss you, yes we do
Father sends his regards to you
Will I write well once in while
I'll send my love and a Molotov cocktail
Do we miss you, yes we do
Father sends his regards to you
Will I write well once in while
I'll send my love and a Molotov cocktail, do
The lyrics of Y.O.C.'s song "Cocktail" portray a rebellious, non-conformist attitude towards the rules and expectations of society. The line "Two fingers poking at the world, One golden rule, no rules at all" suggests a rejection of traditional conventions and a desire to challenge the status quo. The second verse focuses on the singer's personal growth and transformation, as they evolve from a "little darling once so small" to someone who defies expectations.
The chorus repeats the notion that the singer is missed by their family, with the father sending regards and the individual promising to "send my love and a Molotov cocktail". The Molotov cocktail, a crude and dangerous weapon made of flammable materials, symbolizes the individual's frustration and desire for change, even if it means resorting to extreme measures. Overall, the theme of "Cocktail" is one of defiance and rebellion, calling for a new approach to the problems of the world.
