ROCKSTAR
YOnaka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I picked my head up, put it up in the clouds
Wrap my dreams 'round something so clear
How can it feel so far but so near?
It's a house up on Mars
All the fun with no price tag
I'll be blinded by lights
They'll be screaming my name
And nothing else matters, nothing else matters (because)
We ain't got no money, we're just living free
I just wanna be a rockstar, baby
Be a love-fuelled junkie, live out movie scenes
I just wanna be a rockstar, baby
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ay ay
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ay ay
Wake up late, I don't fuck with routine
I'll be the prettiest pin-up, I'll be a magazine queen
Be the spark you when you light up, everything you could dream
Oh, wouldn't it be special to live forever eighteen?
It's a house up on Mars
All the fun with no price tag
I'll be blinded by lights
And there'll be no rules for my gang
They'll be screaming my name
And nothing else matters, nothing else matters
We ain't got no money, we're just living free
I just wanna be a rockstar, baby
Be a love-fuelled junkie, live out movie scenes
I just wanna be a rockstar, baby
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ay ay
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ay ay
Fucking up the hotel 'cause we can never get in trouble
No, you'll never catch us and you'll never burst our bubble
Boy, I'm gonna rock your world, it might be hard to handle
And if I get caught dreaming, it's time to light a candle
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ay ay
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ay ay
We ain't got no money, we're just living free
I just wanna be a rockstar, baby
Be a love-fuelled junkie, live out movie scenes
I just wanna be a rockstar
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ay ay
A rockstar
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ay ay (baby)
(We ain't got no money, we're just living free)
(I just wanna be a rockstar, baby)
(Be a love-fuelled junkie, live out movie scenes)
(I just wanna be a rockstar, baby)
The song "Rockstar" by Yonaka is an anthem for those who want to break free from the mundane and ordinary life. The lyrics depict the aspirations of a person who dreams of being a rockstar and living a life of adventure and excitement. The person who sings the song has been "beat down" lately, but they refuse to let go of their dreams. They put their head up in the clouds and wrap their dreams around something so clear, something that feels so far but is so near. They envision a house up on Mars that has all the fun with no price tag. The person is blinded by lights and there will be no rules for their gang. The people will be screaming their name, and nothing else will matter.
The chorus of the song tells us that the person does not have any money, but they are living free. All they want is to be a rockstar and be a love-fuelled junkie, living out movie scenes. They do not want to be bound by any routine, and they want to live forever young. They want to be the prettiest pin-up, a magazine queen, and be the spark that lights everything up.
The song "Rockstar" by Yonaka is about living life to the fullest, embracing one's dreams, and not being afraid of taking risks. It tells us to indulge in our passions, to forget about the rules for a while, and enjoy the ride.

So just lately, I've been beat down
I've been feeling down lately

How can it feel so far but so near?
My dream feels both distant and close at the same time
It's a house up on Mars
My dream is far-fetched and impossible
All the fun with no price tag
My dream is carefree and without cost
I'll be blinded by lights
My dream involves fame and attention
And there'll be no rules for my gang
My dream involves freedom and wildness
They'll be screaming my name
My dream involves being adored and recognized
And nothing else matters, nothing else matters (because)
All other concerns or worries are insignificant compared to this dream
We ain't got no money, we're just living free

If I'm criticized or discouraged, I'll remain hopeful and optimistic
A rockstar
I want to be a musical icon
