Rollin' With the Dead
Go Periscope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lips, legs, curves, it's like she's one of a kind
She's got the look, she makes me feel, I'm slipping out of my mind
And with these blood stained lips in perpetual red
I hold my breath to keep from moving, hold my breath 'til I'm dead
I hold my breath 'til I'm dead

Lips, legs, curves, it's like she's one of a kind
She's got the look, she makes me feel, I'm slipping out of my mind
And with those blood stained lips in perpetual red
I hold my breath to keep from moving, hold my breath 'til I'm dead

I don't know, I, I don't know who she is
I don't care, I, I do whatever she says
I don't know, I, I don't know who she is
I don't care, I, I do whatever she says

But she could bite down, set it
Makes your heart pound steady
'Cause we're rollin' with the dead now
Rollin' with the dead now
Bite quick, and it makes your heart skip, steady
'Cause we're rollin' with the dead now
Rollin' with the dead now

Why don't you come down? I, I just wanted to feel
You're tearing into my skin, and that's just part of the deal
And when the hit drops, hit, kick, pulse, stop, stop
I take a breath to keep from moving
Take a breath 'til I'm not

I don't know, I, I don't know who she is
I don't care, I, I do whatever she says
I don't know, I, I don't know who she is
I don't care, I, I do whatever she says

Bite down, set it, bite down, set it
Makes your heart pound steady
'Cause we're rollin' with the dead now
Rollin' with the dead now
Bite quick, and it makes your heart skip, steady
'Cause we're rollin' with the dead now
Rollin' with the dead now

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

She's got no heartbeat
She's got no heartbeat
She's got no heartbeat
She's got no heartbeat
She's got no, she's got no, she's got no

Bite down
Bite down, set it, bite down, set it
Makes your heart pound steady
'Cause we're rollin' with the dead now
Rollin' with the dead now
Bite quick, and it makes your heart skip, steady
'Cause we're rollin' with the dead now
Rollin' with the dead now

Bite down, set it, bite down, set it
Makes your heart pound steady
'Cause we're rollin' with the dead now
Rollin' with the dead now
Bite quick, and it makes your heart skip, steady
'Cause we're rollin' with the dead now
Rollin' with the dead now

Bite down, heart pound
Got no heartbeat




Bite quick, heart starts
Got no heartbeat

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Go Periscope's "Rollin' With the Dead" are full of vivid images and suggest a story of a dangerous encounter with a mysterious woman. The repeated phrase "lips, legs, curves" seems to describe her physical appearance, and the singer is captivated by her looks and the way she makes him feel. However, there is a sense of danger and ominousness conveyed through the imagery of "blood-stained lips." The repetition of the line "I hold my breath to keep from moving, hold my breath 'til I'm dead" suggests that the singer is caught in a tense moment where he is literally holding his breath to avoid making a wrong move.


The second verse expresses a sense of submission to the woman's will. The singer claims to not know who she is, but he does whatever she says. This reinforces the idea that she holds a power over him, and he is not in control of the situation. The bridge breaks the repetition of the "lips, legs, curves" chorus and introduces a new element with the lyrics "she's got no heartbeat." This adds an intriguing twist to the story, as it suggests that the mysterious woman might not be a living human being at all. The repeated refrain of "bite down, heart pound, got no heartbeat" reinforces this idea and creates a sense of tension and danger.


Overall, the lyrics to "Rollin' With the Dead" paint a vivid picture of a dangerous encounter with a mysterious woman who holds a strange power over the singer. The repetition of certain lyrics creates a sense of tension and unease, while the imagery of blood, heartbeats, and holding one's breath creates a sense of danger and excitement.
