Round and Round
Fatal Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's people who say it's worth everything
And I'm stuck in the middle
With a whole lot of doubt
Not going in and not going out
You gimme this and I'll give you that
I give you a smile and you give me head
But all you get is some rock 'n roll
Round and round it just spins around
And there ain't no tellin' where it's bound
One says go and the other says no
Where it's going no one knows
Sunday evening a glass of wine
Switch on the tv and you're feeling just fine
And than the phone rings as you got into bed
Some guy's shouting you're already dead
The lyrics of Fatal Flowers’s Round and Round describe a person who is caught in between two different opinions about a particular situation. Some people tell him/her that it’s a sin, while others say that it’s worth everything. The person is unsure of what to do, and is left with a lot of doubt. He/she doesn’t want to go in or go out, and is in a state of confusion.
The second verse talks about a give-and-take relationship where the person is being offered various things in exchange for something else. He/she is being asked for their mind and soul, but all they can offer is rock ‘n’ roll. The chorus of the song talks about how life just spins around and there’s no telling where it’s headed. One person says go, while the other says no, and nobody knows where it’s going.
The final verse talks about a person who’s relaxed and enjoying themselves on a Sunday evening. They’ve taken to sipping wine and watching TV when an unexpected phone call shatters their peace. The person on the other end screams that the singer is already dead. This suggests that even though they were enjoying their life, something has occurred that has brought them back to reality.
Line by Line Meaning
There's people who tell me that it's a sin
Some people consider what I'm doing wrong
There's people who say it's worth everything
Some people think what I'm doing is worth any cost
And I'm stuck in the middle
I'm torn between these two opposing viewpoints
With a whole lot of doubt
I'm unsure about which side to choose
Not going in and not going out
I'm caught in between and not taking any decisive action
You gimme this and I'll give you that
We're engaging in a quid pro quo exchange
I give you a smile and you give me head
We're trading physical pleasure for emotional satisfaction
And then you want my mind and you need my soul
You're seeking more than just a physical relationship
But all you get is some rock 'n roll
All I have to offer is my music
Round and round it just spins around
The situation keeps repeating itself
And there ain't no tellin' where it's bound
There's no way to predict the outcome
One says go and the other says no
There are conflicting opinions on what to do
Where it's going no one knows
The situation is uncertain and unpredictable
Sunday evening a glass of wine
I'm relaxing at home
Switch on the tv and you're feeling just fine
I'm enjoying some entertainment and feeling content
And than the phone rings as you got into bed
My moment of peace is interrupted by a phone call
Some guy's shouting you're already dead
I'm being threatened or harassed by an unknown person
