This song is about the rambunctious lifestyle of living in the moment, embracing base human desires. The person in the song in question has unconventional learning experiences, likely living on the streets, when they state that they gained their knowledge from both stubbornness and the hardships of life. The phrase "pelvis on fire" is an allegory for one's intense desire and highlights the sexual tension one feels. The character in the song is unable to ignore their overwhelming passion, mentioning that it's impossible for them to ignore their longing for a woman's embrace.

In short, it's about the type of people who learned how to live through life on the streets, with unconventional methods, and live each day pleasing their basic human desires. Most prominently in this song, it's their sexual desire they can't control. If they can't feel a woman's warm embrace, they feel their "pelvis is on fire."
