Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loves like a rollercoaster got me throwing up
I'm still trying to forget you but it doesn't work
No it doesn't work Yeah i got a lot to learn
Sippin faygo goin crazy in my mind again
I take drugs just for the pain i gotta clear my head
She said what's it really like to be a rockstar
I said i don't even know i haven't crashed my car
You could see me for a minute who would have to know
I just cant stop thinking i just popped an adderall
I just find it so damn tempting when my demons call
She wan' be my reason
She wan' see my demons
I go crazy
Why she only care about chanel bags and a gucci bracelet
Take a trip go through the hidden hills see the plastic faces
Popped another pill and time been slowing down just like the matrix
Lock myself inside my fucking room i don't know how to save this
Save it
Save it
I left the party like two hours ago
Loves like a rollercoaster got me throwing up
I'm still trying to forget you but it doesn't work
No it doesn't work Yeah i got a lot to learn
The lyrics of Augxst's song "Rollercoaster" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and pain resulting from a love that has gone wrong. The singer establishes that he left a party hours ago, probably as a result of his aching heart. The metaphor of love being like a rollercoaster is drawn, with the line 'loves like a rollercoaster got me throwing up,' meaning the singer is emotionally sick and unable to cope with the constant ups and downs of love. The pain he feels is so great that, despite trying to forget his love interest, he cannot manage it. This sentiment is captured in the lines, "I'm still trying to forget you but it doesn't work, No it doesn't work Yeah i got a lot to learn."
The singer reveals that drugs are his go-to solution to ease his pain, declaring "I take drugs just for the pain i gotta clear my head." This line implies that the singer is not in the right mental state, further corroborated by his addiction to drugs. He also establishes his dissatisfaction with a love interest who cares only about material possessions. The lines "Why she only care about chanel bags and a gucci bracelet, Take a trip go through the hidden hills see the plastic faces" criticize the shallow nature of his love interest's wants and aspirations. At the end of the song, Augxst feels helpless; he has locked himself in his room, and he doesn't know how to save himself.
