Lyrics
By the time that the songs came on we were stoned out of our minds
Being under the influence of drugs when the music started playing
I know it's only rock and roll but it's the soundtrack of our lives
The significance of rock and roll in shaping their experiences
And no matter how crazy life gets I can feel right at home sweet home
Finding comfort and familiarity amidst life's chaos
Every time I put that record on
The emotional impact of playing a particular record
The first time I got a whole lotta love I wanted a whole lot more
Desire for more after experiencing a powerful love
In the back seat baby made me feel like maybe we were knocking on heavens door
A romantic moment that felt heavenly
Walk this way still to this day makes me wanna drink all night long
Association of a song with the urge to party and drink
Every time I put that record on
The consistent emotional effect of playing the record
Turn, turn, turn it up loud, light you one up and pass it around
Encouraging loud volume and sharing a joint while listening to the music
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Comparing the constancy of the song to the continuity of life
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
Returning mentally to a past moment through the song
When you felt like you were living in that song
Feeling deeply immersed in the song, as if living within it
You put that record on
The act of playing the record and its impact on emotions
Life's been a crazy train, barely kept it on the tracks
A metaphor for a tumultuous life
If you think it's the shame that I act this way blame it on 'Back in Black'
Blaming behavior on the influence of a particular album ('Back in Black')
Thought I did everything I did and I forget what I done wrong
Forgetting past mistakes and actions when listening to the record
Every time I put that record on
The repetitive emotional effect of the record
Turn, turn, turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
Encouraging loud volume and sharing while smoking marijuana
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
The constancy of the song amidst life's changes
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
Mentally revisiting a past moment or place through the song
When you felt like you were living in that song
Feeling deeply connected to a past moment as if living in it again
Put that record on
The action of playing the record and its impact
Let it play
Letting the music continue
Take me back
Yearning to return to the past
To yesterday
Expressing a desire to revisit past times
Come on baby sing
Asking someone to join in and sing along
Turn, turn, turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
Encouraging loud volume and sharing while smoking marijuana (repeated)
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Linking the song's consistency with life's continuity (repeated)
Turn, turn, turn the page were back to that first time and place
Mentally returning to a past moment or place through the song (repeated)
When you felt like you were living in that song
Feeling deeply connected to a past moment as if living in it again (repeated)
Put that record on
The action of playing the record and its impact (repeated)
