PLANNING: LYRICS ANALYSIS

Since I was young i've always felt some sort of trouble, 
The nervous one with his finger on the buzzer, 
Bless my poor mother she always knew somethin' was goin on, with her son, 
I Guess it Shows... 

I guess it shows that some things are clearer than others, 
My rock n rolls been causing kinda problems, 
Amongst my friends and the ones I call my brothers, 
It's not fun... No it's not.. 

I hit a wall about a half week ago when, 
My rock n roll became lodged between my two extremes yeah, 
Heavy metal and love songs oh so sweet became confused... So confused Ididnt know... 

I asked my boy Eddy down at the studio and, 
He got annoyed and said "why cant you keep them together?" Now thats a point but it's always much easier said than done. No it's not, Hey said Hey... 

Since I was young i've always felt some sort of trouble, 
The nervous one with his finger on the buzzer, 
Bless my poor mother she always knew somethin' was goin on, with her son, 
I Guess it Shows... 

I guess it shows that some things are clearer than others, 
My rock n rolls been causing kinda problems, 
Amongst my friends and the ones I call my brothers, 
It's not fun... No it's not.. 

Rock N Roll... X9 

Since I was young i've always felt some sort of trouble, 
The nervous one with his finger on the buzzer, 
Bless my poor mother she always knew somethin' was goin WRONG, with her son,

The song My Rock n Roll talks about the singer of the band's love affair with Rock n Roll and all the problems he came across when he started the band. The lyrics for My Rock n Roll are very un-complicated and there are no hidden meanings. It is therefore easy for the listener to grasp the topic. This kind of simple every day topic helps to emphasise the bands reputation as normal every day people. Also, because of the simplicity yet relatable topic of the lyrics, the mood is therefore created more by the instruments. When it comes to interpreting the lyrics for a music video, I think that the mere name "my rock n roll" shows that it has to be mostly performance based. Because of the simplicity of the lyrics however, it would be easy to make the narrative whatever you want, since to do simply what the lyrics describe would be very cliche and predictable.
