On the surface, the song is about the stages of making love – flirting, foreplay, grinding, climax, and then afterglow. But that is just a metaphor for making beautiful music.
The speaker equates lovemaking to making music, the biggest clue being the dual meaning of the word rock – the rocking motion when making love and “rocking” to a good song. While the interlude describes her lover as “rock hard” while she is “rock steady,” (sexual meaning being obvious) rock hard also refers to music – to “rock hard” means to give it everything you have. When she says “my shit’s so good that it ain’t even right,” she’s referring to her sex and to her music.
The lines “if you need a personal trainer or a therapist” allude to her being able to make music that that are great in the gym or a song that provides emotional support, like a song that can help you get through a bad breakup. It also means that her sex can be a workout, or it can be an emotional outlet.
When she says, “We're so much more than pointless fixtures / Instagram pictures, consumers” These lines refer to both to her personal relationships and to her music. Her relationship and her music means more to her than money, social media photos, more even than the consumers – her fans. Her music is not about “Cyclical trends” or “tryna fit in.” “Home is where the heart is,” means shows the deep personal connection she has to her music and to her man.
