Rock Your Soul

I absolutely adore this song and just recently got a tattoo on the side of my arm that does indeed read "Rock your Soul" in script . I adopted this quote as my life mantra years ago and it has and always will stick with me . The phrase only is all so passionate and i believe that's what stimulated my interest from the first point of hearing it ! If someone were to ask me what it meant i would break it down by each word...and i feel as though the three words get more powerful as you work through each one

"Rock" - taken in simpler, more cliche' terms, i interpret this as "making the best of" or putting in all your effort as if you only have one opportunity. She could have simply said something stupid and more basic but i love this word choice and believe it adds style to the whole three word mantra itself . Looking at it from another perspective, a rock is a solid object with concrete foundation...it's dependable and provides my mind a sense of security in "rock"ing anyones soul !

"Your"- There is definitely more to this that i think gets overlooked a lot of times . Depending on who is reading it...this could be you, me, him, her, anyone ! Therefore I take it as an ambiguous word . As it lays tatted on my skin, first instinct is to think that "your" applies to myself . As my life mantra, it is desired that I always stay true to myself and do whats best for myself ! Not to let anyone heavily influence me to the point where i have lost my own origins . Then I think that this phrase isn't completely selfish...and the song reminds me of that . It is obvious she isnt speaking of herself . As stated by a previous poster, I believe that God does play a part into this . To make an attempt to even rock God's soul the way he has mine is not fathomable, but it is still a priority . Living for God to use me . Lastly, "your" can be applied to anyone else outside of God and myself....doing things for others to make them happy or feel special is an important element to my happiness . Something I see as important, to be caring and considerate...so that's how the second word plays out. God, myself, or anyone else for that matter .

"Soul"- Here is the big one ! What is a soul ? it's MUCH deeper than a word...that's for sure..a soul is what differentiates each and every one of us....we are all humans on the surface but it's the soul that gives us personality, it provides the beauty within each and every one of us, without a soul we are pointless. It gives us a sense of self identity and self awareness . I don't know about you, but I think that is pretty crucial ! The soul pushes past the body or flesh to the part God intended for us to love .

Overall, the phrase together is a very cohesive group of words . To "Rock Your Soul" can range from meaning just be you to encouraging others to be the best person God intended them to be with purpose and everything in between those to short meanings .

That is all just my interpretation of the key part of this song . As for the rest of the song...ha ! story of my life ! I'll save that for another day. But this is a truly beautiful song and I could listen to it all day and think new thoughts...it also inspires me to want to play the piano !
