Rockadown

The song 'Rockadown' by Vanupié seems to encapsulate the journey of an individual facing life's challenges and the importance of perseverance. The lyrics suggest a narrative of someone who has experienced many difficult days ('You had many of those days down') and has often felt alone in their struggles ('Fighting this all alone'). The repeated phrase 'rockadown' could be interpreted as a metaphor for the hardships or 'rocky' moments in life that one must overcome. The artist encourages the listener to face these challenges head-on ('Face on, your rockadown') and to continue moving forward ('Step on son, no walk alone').

The song also touches on themes of prayer and companionship ('Pray on, get up all along') as means to cope with and rise above adversity. The notion of not doing it all alone suggests the importance of seeking support and the strength found in unity. The lyrics 'Retired / Here dies / Dream dried' could represent moments of defeat or loss of hope, but the subsequent lines ('Well, she tries to go / Over she hides / She cries / Miss higher') indicate a resilience and a desire to reach for something greater ('Miss higher').

The latter part of the song seems to tell a story of realization and transformation. The character in the song recognizes the futility of denying their purpose ('She was heading to deny what she came for') and the wasted time spent in stagnation ('Spending all her time on the ground floor'). The final lines suggest a determination to overcome these obstacles ('Suckin' it up in all then, she gonna beat it all upon'), implying that through struggle, one can find the strength to rise above and succeed.
