| Van Halen – And The Cradle Will Rock... Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
"It's kinda frightenin' how this younger generation swings." refers to the hard-drug-using adolescents of the 70's. "It's more than just a new sensation. Well, the kid is into losin' sleep and he don't come home for half the week... Rock on..." This is alluding to cocaine, which induces insomnia and addiction. The term "rock" is commonly used in classic rock songs to refer to cocaine because the substance's form resembles white rocks; see, "Let's Get Rocked" by Def Leppard. "It's more than just an aggravation." - It's a lifestyle, one that is damaging to the body. Alas, the subtle glorification of an addictive, dangerous drug via the music industry at the will of TPTB for experimentation and exploitation. |
