Roll
Jakes & Max Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was sixteen years old, I felt numb on my ears but I have got on through
But great boundaries I can see in your eyes
You are afraid for to touch, going down your own road in your life
With every step that you take down on your road for all the promises that you have made
But we can find our way down so clear as long we roll down like stones
We are here to be free
We are here to be free
In this world where we are living in
And find out for what you are living for
As long we roll like a stone with no direction home
We roll down
So let morning break, break my mind right in two
Will I stay, will I go out there to fight until I feel just blue
As you say, just hold to your faith
It is the only thing in this numb world that makes you feel to stay
With every step that you take down on your road for all the prayers that you have made
But we can find our way out so clear as long we roll down like stones
We are here to be free
We are here to be free
To roll down to find out who we are
In this world where we are living in
And find out for what you are living for
As long you roll like a stone with no direction home
We roll down
For what you are living for
Roll down
Where we are living in
Catch a star that's shining on our window
On our gate
We will call it our home place
We roll down
We roll down
And we roll down
The lyrics to Jakes & Max's song "Roll" seem to convey a message of self-discovery, liberation, and finding purpose in life. The opening lines suggest that the singer is about to share a personal story with someone, indicating a level of intimacy and vulnerability. The mention of feeling numb on the ears at sixteen years old suggests a sense of detachment or disconnection from the world. However, despite this numbness, the singer has managed to persevere.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of freedom, expressing a desire to roll down and discover oneself in a world that presents great boundaries and challenges. Rolling down is metaphorical for embracing change, taking risks, and embarking on a journey of self-discovery. It implies an active approach to uncovering one's true identity and purpose in life.
The second verse introduces the idea of faith as something to hold onto in a "numb world." It suggests that faith, whether in oneself or something greater, is a guiding force that helps one endure and find meaning. The lyrics allude to the struggle between staying or going out to fight, perhaps indicating a conflict between maintaining stability and taking risks. However, the notion of holding onto faith implies finding the courage to venture into the unknown.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that rolling down, embracing change, and seeking freedom is the path to self-discovery and finding one's place in the world. The final lines invite the listener to catch a star and call it their home, suggesting that the journey of self-discovery ultimately leads to a sense of belonging and finding one's true purpose.

Wait, she said, I have an important story to share with you
When I was sixteen years old, I felt numb on my ears but I have got on through
At the age of sixteen, I experienced emotional numbness, but I managed to persevere
But great boundaries I can see in your eyes
I can sense that you have deep fears and insecurities
You are afraid for to touch, going down your own road in your life
You are hesitant to explore new experiences and follow your own path in life
With every step that you take down on your road for all the promises that you have made
With each action you take towards your goals, considering all the commitments you've made
But we can find our way down so clear as long we roll down like stones
However, if we continue to progress persistently and steadily, we can find a clear path ahead
We are here to be free
Our purpose is to live without limitations and constraints
To roll down to find out who we are
To explore and discover our true identities
In this world where we are living in
Within the context of the world we inhabit
And find out for what you are living for
And determine the purpose and meaning of your existence
As long we roll like a stone with no direction home
If we continue to move forward without a specific destination
So let morning break, break my mind right in two
Allow the dawn to shatter and challenge my thoughts completely
Will I stay, will I go out there to fight until I feel just blue
Should I remain or venture out to battle until sadness overwhelms me
As you say, just hold to your faith
In the face of uncertainty, cling onto your belief system
It is the only thing in this numb world that makes you feel to stay
It is the sole element in this emotionless world that gives you a sense of purpose
With every step that you take down on your road for all the prayers that you have made
With each action you take towards your own journey, considering all the prayers you've offered
But we can find our way out so clear as long we roll down like stones
Yet, we can discover a clear path to escape our troubles if we continue to progress steadily
For what you are living for
The purpose behind your existence
Catch a star that's shining on our window
Seize the opportunity presented to us
On our gate
At the entrance of our journey
We will call it our home place
We will designate it as our sanctuary
And we roll down
And together we continue to move forward
