ROCKSTAR NOISES
Rockstar Life: Temptations, Love, and Regret
Lyrics
Shreddin’ guitar
Expressing the act of playing a guitar energetically.
Makin’ rockstar noises
Creating sounds typically associated with rockstars.
Get in the car
Getting into a car.
Make some real bad choices
Deliberately making questionable decisions.
This is me with you leavin’
Describing a moment of departure with someone.
This is me with you leavin’
Repetition for emphasis on the departure.
Faded too far
Being in a state of intoxication or emotional distance.
Drank all my poison
Consuming a self-destructive substance.
Girls at the bar
Observing other women at the bar.
Look like you’re here, and
Seeing others who resemble the person of interest.
I don’t want you to leave yet
Expressing a desire for the person not to leave.
I don’t want you to leave yet
Repetition for emphasis on the desire for the person to stay.
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Repetitive vocalizations for emotional emphasis.
Ooo, ooo, ooo
-Ooo, ooo, ooo
-This is me with you leavin’
-Ooo, ooo, ooo
-Ooo, ooo, ooo
-Ooo, ooo, ooo
-I don’t want you to leave yet
-I found a million in my dreams
Imagining a large sum of money in dreams.
I can’t spend it
Unable to spend the dreamt money.
With the thought of you
Thinking about someone with emotional impact.
I can barely move
Feeling emotionally paralyzed.
And I can’t make it uh, huh
Unable to progress or cope.
Uh, huh
Repetition for emphasis on the emotional struggle.
And I can hear you
Hearing the other person.
Fucked up, screaming
Being in a disturbed state, yelling.
And tellin’ me
Conveying a message of criticism.
That I should shut the fuck up
Being told to be silent.
Baby, uh, huh
Repetition for emphasis on the emotional exchange.
Baby, uh, huh
-Yeah
An exclamation of strong emotion.
Young and hopelessly
Describing a youthful and uncertain experience of love.
Falling in love
-We don’t know how to trust
-Young and hopelessly
-Falling in love
-Falling in love, falling in love
-Yeah
Expressing the intensity of falling in love.
Shreddin’ guitar
Repetition of earlier themes with additional details.
