The lyrics of “Rock City” seem to be about a person who is struggling with their emotions and...
[Verse 1]
Someone call an ambulance, I'm bleedin'
Baby, it's too late to save me now
Tell the barman pour the drinks to fix my feelings
We'll go until they kick me out
[Refrain]
What are you crying 'bout?
What are you crying 'bout?
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to stay up late and hit Rock City
Then fully clothed, crash on your couch
When we were kids, it was so easy to be me
But nothing is ever quite as simple now
[Chorus]
And you said
“Wow, I'm always going to bail you out
You've really gone and done it this time, angel
This time, it's going down”
And you said
“Wow, nothing is gonna hurt you now
But you just need a minute this time, angel
This time, it's going down
It's going down”
[Verse 2]
So come and take me out again this evening
I'll cause a scene and run my mouth
Tell the taxi driver all my secrets
Turn up the radio to drown me out
[Refrain]
What are you crying 'bout?
What are you crying 'bout?
[Chorus]
And you said
“Wow, I'm always going to bail you out
You've really gone and done it this time, angel
This time, it's going down”
And you said
“Wow, nothing is gonna hurt you now
But you just need a minute this time, angel
This time, it's going down
It's going down”
[Bridge]
And I'm doing my best to be lonely
And I'm nailing it
So I won't blame you, if you're gonna leave
Cause I'm doing my best to be lonely
And I'm nailing it
So I won't blame you
If you wanna be without me
[Chorus]
And you said
“Wow, I'm always going to bail you out
You've really gone and done it this time, angel
This time, it's going down”
And you said
“Wow, nothing is gonna hurt you now
But you just need a minute this time, angel
This time, it's going down
It's going down”
