Dungeon Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shoo-bob-shoo-bob do-oo
Do-do-do
Shoo-bob-shoo-bob do-oo
Do-do-do
Shoo-bob-shoo-bob do-oo
[Chorus]
Down the same street that I'm going
Up the same stream that I'm folding
On the new ride?
High is high, low is low
Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Nobody wants to die
Nobody wants to,
Do the don'ts
Don't what is
Colour outside the lines
And nobody wants to try
Nobody wants to try
Nobody wants to
[Chorus]
I can feel it all over me right now
And girl, if you're so good
Got me on straight lock-down (down, I can't shake it)
It's takin' me, it's spendin' me (I can't shake it)
It's makin' me want to be with someone (tonight)
Make her feel (so right)
[Chorus]
Up the street
Around the corner
Down the block
Around the clock
It's bound to stop
Or ease at least
I can breath at least
My brain release
Pain relief
It's the same belief that make you stand the chief
And to this ain't the snuff so obtain the spluf
Cellophane of reef
Trade your grief
For these magic beans
Crown the stop
Ride the clouds
Surf the waves
An earth decays
Expose your soul
Never close your soul
Slow your role
Never overload your soul
Hold your goes
Never lose sight of those
I suppose
We can all float away
As it goes
We can all know the way
If we prose
We can share the way
No one knows
We can all go today
If we chose
We can all roll away
Until you're truly ready to say, "Fuck your fear!"
You are not alive
You don't have to settle and be stuck right here
You can let me drive
Come and ride the roller-coaster
Give all the troubles of the world to me
At least come and see, come see the other side
This may be the way you want the world to be (Ohh-oh)
Shoop-bop shoop-bop dooooo [Repeat until it fades]
The song "Rollin' " by Dungeon Family is an upbeat track that talks about living life to the fullest and being unafraid to take risks even though most people would prefer to stick to what they know. The first part of the song repeats "Do-do-do Shoo-bob-shoo-bob do-oo" several times, then goes into the chorus, which asks if you're rolling down the same street and stream with the artist. The chorus also says that everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die. The second verse talks about being propelled by the feeling the artist is experiencing, making them want to be with someone who makes them feel right. The chorus is repeated, after which the last verse urges people to let go of their fears and take a chance on life, concluding with the "Do-do-do Shoo-bob-shoo-bob do-oo" it began with.
The lyrics to the song are open to interpretation, but one thing that stands out is the emphasis on living life to the fullest and seizing the moment. The artist talks about wanting to be with someone and feeling propelled by a force of energy, which is the kind of feeling that inspires us to take risks and go after what we want. The chorus repeats the phrase "Rollin'", which can be seen as an affirmation of living life with a sense of excitement and wonder.

[Chorus]
Refrain of the song
Are you rolling
Asking if you are on the same journey with me
Down the same street that I'm going
Asking if you share the same way with me
Up the same stream that I'm folding
Asking if you are going through the same challenges with me
On the new ride?
Asking if you're with me in exploring new possibilities
High is high, low is low
Life has its ups and downs
Everybody want to go to heaven
Everyone wants greatness
But nobody wants to die
Few want to pay the price of success
Nobody wants to die
Reiterating that no one wants to pay the price of success
Nobody wants to,
Continuation of the previous statement
Do the don'ts
People don't like breaking the rules
Don't what is
People seldom challenge the status quo
Colour outside the lines
People are afraid of thinking differently
And nobody wants to try
People prefer the safer option
Nobody wants to try
Reiterating that people avoid the risks of trying
[Chorus]
Refrain of the song
I can feel it all over me right now
Feeling overwhelmed by something
And girl, if you're so good
Assuming that someone is good
Got me on straight lock-down (down, I can't shake it)
Feeling captivated and unable to break free
It's takin' me, it's spendin' me (I can't shake it)
Feelings are consuming or draining me
It's makin' me want to be with someone (tonight)
Being driven to have personal connection with someone
Make her feel (so right)
Willingness to make someone feel great
[Chorus]
Refrain of the song
Up the street
Heading forward
Around the corner
Going beyond the obvious
Down the block
Moving further
Around the clock
Continually going further
It's bound to stop
Endings always happen
Or ease at least
End could be soft or hard
I can breath at least
Relief after overcoming something
My brain release
Letting go of worries
Pain relief
Releasing pains or hurts
It's the same belief that make you stand the chief
Beliefs shape character and leadership
And to this ain't the snuff so obtain the spluf
Obtaining better alternatives
Cellophane of reef
Wrapping a seaweed product
Trade your grief
Exchanging sadness for joy
For these magic beans
Moving from current situation to something better
Crown the stop
Override the end
Ride the clouds
Reaching for the sky
Surf the waves
Overcoming challenges
An earth decays
Life has an endpoint
Expose your soul
Be authentic
Never close your soul
Remain open to communicating
Slow your role
Take things easy
Never overload your soul
Avoid overwhelming oneself
Hold your goes
Hold onto your purpose or objective
Never lose sight of those
Do not forget your goals
I suppose
Making an assumption
We can all float away
Escape from current reality
As it goes
As time goes on
We can all know the way
Know where to head to
If we prose
If we express ourselves
We can share the way
Share with others
No one knows
Unknown
We can all go today
Anything can happen today
If we chose
Choice drives every action
We can all roll away
We all can ride our way to greatness
Until you're truly ready to say, "Fuck your fear!"
Implies acknowledging fear as a bound object
You are not alive
True life only exists if one is bold enough to face their fear
You don't have to settle and be stuck right here
Not settling for less
You can let me drive
Allowing someone else to take over the helm
Come and ride the roller-coaster
Come and experience the exciting moments
Give all the troubles of the world to me
Transferring difficulties to another person
At least come and see, come see the other side
Experience things from a different perspective
This may be the way you want the world to be (Ohh-oh)
Opening up to the possibility of a great life
Shoop-bop shoop-bop dooooo [Repeat until it fades]
