The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Rockin'" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

In "Rockin'," The Weeknd delves into his lifestyle characterized by fleeting romances and the relentless pursuit of pleasure. The lyrical persona acknowledges the transient nature of his entourage, with people coming and going while he remains fixated on his goals and ambitions ("Yeah, people always talkin' 'bout the ones that got away / And I'm just like, seems like they always wanna stay").

He candidly admits that his success is a magnet for women, making no secret of his hedonistic tendencies ("Tell you I got my ladies hooked on the fame"). The Weeknd isn't seeking a committed relationship; his interests lie solely in casual encounters devoid of obligations ("You don't have to spend your life with me / You don't have to waste your energy on me / We can just be rockin', yeah").

The lyrics allude to drug use, likely as a means of coping with his frenetic lifestyle and maintaining his rockstar persona ("Liquor mixin' with the Adderall got me off the wall").

In essence, "Rockin'" is an anthem to hedonism and freedom from commitment, mirroring the lifestyle often associated with celebrity culture.

[Verse 1:]

Yeah, people always talk about the ones that got away,

I just seem to get the ones that always want to stay,

I'm just too distracted with the life I'm tryna paint.

Say, I got all these women too attracted to the fame,

Not too many ngas that will end up in the way,

Nothing's gonna stop me, I'ma get it either way.

[Pre-Chorus:]

Why would you wanna take away from this moment?

We can own it.

Why would you wanna take away from this moment?

Woo-hoo!

[Chorus:]

You don't have to spend your life with me,

You don't have to waste your energy,

We can just be rockin', yeah!

We can just be rockin', yeah!

I just want your body next to me

'Cause it brings me so much ecstasy,

We can just be rockin', yeah!

We can just be rockin', yeah, yeah, yeah!

[Verse 2:]

You see me textin', baby, you see those missed calls,

I'm actin' reckless, baby, I'm 'bout to lose it all.

This liquor got me crazy, mixed with that Adderall,

I'm focused on the beat, oh yeah!

[Pre-Chorus:]

Why would you wanna take away from this moment?

We can own it.

Why would you wanna take away from this moment?

Woo-hoo!

[Chorus:]

You don't have to spend your life with me,

You don't have to waste your energy,

We can just be rockin', yeah!

We can just be rockin', yeah! We can just be rockin'!

I just want your body next to me

'Cause it brings me so much ecstasy,

We can just be rockin', yeah!

We can just be rockin', yeah! We can just be rockin', baby!

[Pre-Chorus:]

Yeah, yeah!

Why would you wanna take away from this moment?

We can own it.

Why would you wanna take away from this moment?

Woo-hoo!

Let's go! Hey!

[Chorus:]

You don't have to spend your life with me, you don't have to spend your life with me,

You don't have to waste your energy, you don't have to waste,

We can just be rockin', yeah! Oh, baby!

We can just be rockin', yeah! All you got to, need to know, ooh!

I just want your body next to me, hey!

'Cause it brings me so much ecstasy,

We can just be rockin', yeah!

We can just be rockin', yeah! We can just be rockin' baby!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!
