Rolling girl remaining in her dreams
She only wants to stay, it seems
All the noise slicing layers in her head
Has her screaming away, has her screaming away

"No problem", she tells herself today
But what she says repeats in the grey, oh
Fail again, failing again
Fussing over mistakes she thinks would remain
But then she starts all over again

Just once more, just once more
"I will roll again today I know for sure"
Oh, that girl said what she said
Playing every word and playing to pretend
"Are you better now?"
"No, I don′t know how"
What's the point of living if pain′s never ending
Please, just let me stop my breath
Right now

Rolling girl is taunted by her gaze
She can't recall the hue she erased
Voice's scream, blending all around her head
Blending over again, blending over again

"No problem", she breathes another lie
The pain and guilt she feels amplifies, oh
"You′ll be fine", is what they all say
Even when they see me on my way towards my fate
They′d watch me roll again

Just once more, just once more
"Rolling down a hill just like I did before"
Oh, that girl said, what she said
Repeating every word and hiding every meaning

"Are you better now?"
"No, I don't know how"
Maybe someday you′ll see the progress I'm doing
Please, just let me stop my breath
Not now

Just once more, just once more
"I will roll again today I know for sure"
Oh, that girl said, what she said
Playing every word and playing to pretend
"Just once more? No, no more"
Take my hand and come with me
It will be okay
Please, just let me hold your breath for now



@pandora_8032

hey, i'm tossing my thoughts to the sea of comments :)

this song is special to me. i was in a very, very bad spot around 2019-2020, and i was in such a deep depressive state that i was just.. ready to go. i was done.
i was into vocaloid then- music was my main source of comfort. and one day, i found rolling girl.
it hit hard. my memory is poor now, but i'm sure there were days i cried while blasting it through my earbuds.

i always interpreted "mou ikkai" (believe that's how it's pronounced, i dont speak japanese) as "one more time", and i think that was the most important part to me. i took it as "one more day", and that was one of the many things that pushed me through that time.

coming back to this song, i'm so glad i'm here. i'm glad i'm here to hear it again and i'm glad i stayed. i kept rolling, and i'm so happy i did. i'm not fully better now- i have my rough days, and my dark moods, but i'm here and that is so important.

i want to thank wowaka for making this song. it pushed me through my dark, dark early teenage years and i at least wanted to say thank you. and hey, if there's another kid out there like me-

one more time.
i promise you the clouds will break. they may break and come back, or only let a small bit of light through, but the sun will shine again one day. i promise.

one more time.

thank you, wowaka, and thank you to everyone who supported me.

let's roll :)



@we_ewelina

Trying my best to explain this:

The boy in this video is supposed to represent depression.
1:22 "One more roll. Today too I will roll." Rolling is representing living. "I will live a bit more. I'll keep living today."
"is it enough yet?" He's asking if she wants to pass already "Not Yet. Because the end is not visible." She wants to keep living until it's her time.
"I will stop your breath... Now." She wants to get rid of him. She wants to get rid of her depression. The boy smiles, he knows she won't be able to do it, he's still there with her.
1:51 She's still there, she's still living. She keeps getting more bandages, it's meaning that she keeps getting hurt by going on. She gets hurt the more she keeps "rolling".
"Rolling Girl's shell of her former self. It will not reach the color on the other side." She keeps rolling but she still can't see the colors = she can't find the happiness.
2:21 She's seen running. she running away from him. "Hey, I said whaever happens is fine." She tries telling herself, knowing it's not true causing the boy to catch her. 2:29
When he catches her he wanted to convince her it's time. "One more roll." She insists "You will roll me somehow" She will try to keep on living.
2:41 "Is it enough yet?" "A little more" she keeps insisting "Pretty soon something will probably be visible" She is sure soon she will finally be able to see the colors
"I will stop your breath... Now." This time, the boy says it. he pulls her by her throat, she's too powerless to convince him this time. She can be seen crying as he does it, she thought it will be painful and she will regret it. But the boy hugs her, it's then she sees how fast it was and how it caused her to see the colors. "Is it enough yet?" The boy asks again "It's fine" She said, she said it because she finally saw that it will be easier than to keep rolling. "You will probably be tired soon, right?" You will be tired if you don't stop. "I will end your breath... Now." the boy says. The girl then closes her eyes which means she finally agreed, she finally gave up to depression. She's dead now, she stopped rolling.

Thank you for listening. I hope you all are doing the best. Keep rollling. You will eventually reach the end and it will stop hurting.

FUCK IT, IT IS A LEAP YEAR.
FUCK YOU 2016.
just fuck you........
YOU WILL TWKE MY LIFE ONE DAY, BUT FUCK YOU !



@theguy-hi8zi

If you look carefully:
1:41 - The boy was smiling when the girl choked him. It was the girl saying "I will stop your breath now."
2:05 - The way how he talked changed from normally to smiling to laughing as if he was provoking her.
3:06 - I think it was the boy saying "I will stop your breath now" this time.




I know some may say that he might be her friend or boyfriend trying to be supportive, but I'm more convinced that he represents her depression.


Based on these highlights, it seems like the boy was enjoying the fact that she was trying hard not to give up, after telling her to give up (just so he can laugh at her failure).


For the ending, I personally think he stopped her from choking herself and hugged her and said "It's fine. You will probably be tired soon, right? I will stop your breath now" because he sympathies her when she finally gave up in the end. It is like how you would show respect or sorrow to your rival after you won and ended a long lasting war. This applies the same to the guy (or depression) as he was convincing her to give up for so long and he finally succeeded. Before she ends her life, he would comfort her at the last moment since she might even "be tired" from even choking herself. So, instead of her killing herself, she lets the boy kill her (representing the depression was killing her).



@cxrriecxnine

I am a rolling "girl."

I've suffered emotional abuse, had to pretty much raise my little sibling, all of that.
I've been a victim of s/a.
I've dealt with heavy loss of people I loved.
I've watched all of my friends turn to drugs and get corrupted by them.
I've been in relationships that ended horribly, and became abusive.
I've been told for the past 5 years, "things will get better, I promise."

I keep trying to push through, I keep trying to carry on, I've nearly lost my battle twice,
everyone always thinks I'm fine because I "look happy" and talk about how great and beautiful I think I am.
But they don't know that when i say these things, I'm only repeating the lies I tell myself.

They don't know how much I struggle.

They lie and tell me they're trying to get me help but make no active moves toward it.

Am I just undeserving of help? Am I not worth saving?

I get that a scientist never likes their first test rat, when they say the experiment fails, but am I that bad of a test rat?

I'm sorry, what can I do more of to be worthy of your love? I want to be loved like the other, I want to be a favorite, too. Why do you hate me? Why can't I be loved? Why do you yell at me when I cry but hold them when they do, too. Am I the monster you created?



@eth.4n747

everytime i hear this song i start crying.

I relate to this song in so many ways.
When life started to feel heavy and stressful, I used to survive everyday.
Life wasn't enjoyable, I thought about death every single day, but I knew I couldnt kill myself. So every time I repeated myself "I cant. I need to stay, I cant go yet" and so, every day, I kept telling me the same thing. One part of me want to let go, the other wants to stay.
"No problem she mutters"
I always say "its nothing, dont worry" my boyfriend keeps telling me "you always say that its nothing and then you cry" Idk why I cant express myself. I just dont want to let people know, yk, make them worry. So I just stay silent. And yk smile like everything is okay.
"Hey, I said whatever happens its fine, A hill road that even invites causing a mistake"
for me is "hey its fine whatever happens, If I make a mistake that causes an incident." thinking about suicide.
But its still a thought so I keep going.
"Is it enough yet?"
"Not yet"
"Because the end is not yet visible"
-
"is it enogh yet?"
"A little more"
"Pretty soon something will probably be visible"
.
this says everything.
When still all the reasons you have are not enough to kill yourself, so you wait. But while you're waiting, more time passes, more you get worse. And you start seeing the end of all.
I see it. Its a bit far but I'll reach it, one day. Not when i'll get old though.. I planned everything.
Thats why I love this song.



@KoyaHarmony17

The moment I clicked this,
I feel like....
I was stuck in a loop, a loop between depression and anxiety.
Until... I can try again,
In just one more time.
I gotta say,
Even though I'm new here in this community of Vocaloid,
I know that Mr. Wowaka's death hit pretty hard for you guys, and the whole Vocaloid fandom community.
Now, I don't really know much about Vocaloid, but I guess I wanted to know more about it.
Why? Because I want to experience something new.
I keep repeating the same stuff over and over again. But this time,
I wanted to experience something new for once.
And that started from Vocaloid.
A young teenage girl who wanted to listen something new.
Now, the reason why I clicked this song is because....
About a few weeks ago,
My former classmate died of suicide. I guess he had family problems at home.
And I felt sad and heartbroken.
And so that's why I clicked this song.
The moment it started playing,
The second I knew is that
this song isn't just a masterpiece.
It's a message. A message that everyone needed the most.
I know we feel sad, depressed, and stressed out.
But maybe....
If we can try again, for just one more time, then that's how we'll get back up again.
Besides, Rolling Girl now became my comfort song.
A song that no one else can relate to.
To Mr. Wowaka,
I know you're no longer here, but I think you are the
one of a kind music producer that Vocaloid ever has.
Thank you.
And to my former classmate,
I know we weren't close that much,
But if I wanted to talk with you at least, if you trust me to talk about your problems, then you would've been alive today.
Life is short but,
Suicide was never the answer.
Also, enjoy every moment while you're still young.
There's so much things that we still want to do.
And....
I think that's the only thing I want to say.
In hard times like this,
We always have our loved ones beside us.
Even... If it's hard to open up somethin' that's unbearable.
Anyone can lose their way,
All you need is the courage to walk on this daunting, hollow path we're crossing.
