Overall Meaning

The song "Rocky" by Borelly is a motivational and uplifting instrumental piece that has been famously associated with the boxing film franchise of the same name.

As the song progresses, the listener can hear the intensity building as the main character Rocky prepares for the challenge ahead.

The lyrics of the song itself are few, and the song is instead dominated by its triumphant trumpet melody, percussion-heavy beat, and strong bassline that work together to create a sense of power and drive. The few lyrics that are present in the song, "Every nerve a wire sweatin' blood, like fire," convey the sense of physical and mental exertion that Rocky must go through in order to achieve his goals. The song functions as a sort of musical depiction of the process of pushing oneself to achieve greatness, and the satisfaction that can come from persevering through intense physical and emotional hardships.
