The meaning of the song 'Skateaway ', based on the lyrics

What is Skateaway about?

🎶 Skateaway song analysis

The song is about a woman who roller skates around the city, feeling free and independent. She listens to music loudly in her headphones and doesn't care about other people's opinions. She even teases cab drivers and has her own world in the city. The lyrics say she loves rock and roll and dreams of making movies, but she doesn't know what that means - she just enjoys the feeling it gives her. The chorus repeats that the woman who roller skates doesn't have to worry because the DJ will be playing movies all night.
