“Rooster” is a deeply personal song written by Jerry Cantrell about his father’s experiences during the Vietnam War.
The lyrics vividly depict the harsh realities of combat, with lines like “Ain’t found a way to kill me yet” and “Eyes burn with stinging sweat” conveying the physical and emotional strain of war.
The repeated refrain “Yeah, they come to snuff the Rooster” symbolizes the constant threat of death and the resilience required to survive.
The song also touches on themes of family and the lasting impact of war on soldiers and their loved ones, as seen in the lines “Walking tall, machine gun man” and “He ain’t gonna die”.
The raw, gritty tone of the music complements the intense subject matter, making “Rooster” a poignant tribute to the sacrifices made by soldiers and a reflection on the enduring scars of war.
