Roman Holiday
Every Time I Die Lyrics

The lyrics of Every Time I Die's song Roman Holiday seem to portray a sense of darkness, rebellion and chaos. The first line "we cut our teeth in the bedroom" depicts the beginning of something new and dangerous. The second line, "we slit our wrists in our costumes" reveals the sense of darkness that lies within the characters of the song. The symbolism of the witches serves to emphasise the intriguing and dangerous nature of the characters.

The lines "we are the death of the party, we are the life of the funeral" portray a sense of rebellion, suggesting that the characters are not afraid to stand out and be different from the norm. They are not merely attendees of events, but they are the ones who truly make an impact. The use of Ragmen as a descriptor is both intriguing and mysterious. It conveys a sense of unrest and disorder, adding to the darker tone of the song.

The chorus exemplifies the characters' desires and wants which further illuminate their thirst for danger and adventure. The usage of "I want" repeatedly in the choruses add to the obsession and the intensity of the song, conveying a sense of chaos and urgency. The lyrics leave much to the imagination however, it is clear that the characters are not satisfied with the status quo, and they crave something more mysterious and daring.
