Roller Coaster
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come here
I don't know what happened

Where did they go?
Nights like this don't happen anymore whoa
Oh babe
I need to know
Is it me and did I lose control? Yo voom voom (oh babe)
It's slowin' down

Lonely overseas
Only memories
Wish I had the key to your heart
People come and go
Baby, they don't know
What we had before
What it felt before our eyes

Roller coaster, roller coaster
Spinning all around and around for a world baby
Roller coaster, roller coaster
For a minute we were up, but the next we were falling down

It's been difficult (difficult, difficult)
I'm just happy there's no fights no more (fights no more, fights no more)
But it's nights like this that I never ever missed you more
If there's a reason why this happens for, yeah

(But I can't help I feel like)

Lonely overseas
Only memories
Wish I had the key to your heart
People come and go
Baby, they don't know
What we had before
What it felt before our eyes

Roller coaster, roller coaster
Spinning all around and around for a world baby
Roller coaster, roller coaster
For a minute we were up, but the next we were falling down

(Bounce)
Lonely overseas
Only memories
Wish I had the key to your heart
People come and go
Baby, they don't know
What we had before
What it felt before our eyes

Roller coaster, roller coaster
Spinning all around and around for a world baby




Roller coaster, roller coaster
For a minute we were up, but the next we were falling down

Overall Meaning

The song "Roller Coaster" by Justin Bieber is likely about a past relationship that ended, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The lyrics reflect on the ups and downs of the relationship, comparing it to a roller coaster ride that's both exhilarating and scary. The opening lines express confusion and a sense of loss, as the singer wonders where their partner has gone and why they no longer have nights like they used to. They worry about whether they were the cause of the relationship's demise, and lament the fact that they can't seem to recapture what they once had.


The chorus repeats the metaphor of the roller coaster, emphasizing the way the relationship soared and then plummeted. The lyrics suggest that the couple had a special connection that no one else could understand, with "people come and go" who don't appreciate how they felt before their eyes. Despite the pain of the breakup, the singer seems to feel grateful that there are no more arguments or fighting in their life, but it's clear that they still miss their former partner deeply.


Overall, "Roller Coaster" is a poignant reflection on the highs and lows of love and loss, with Bieber's emotive vocals lending depth to the lyrics. It's a song that anyone who's been through a difficult breakup can relate to, and it's likely to remain a fan favorite for years to come.

This album didn't flop. It did sell but it had no promo. His label doesn't like him doing R&b. So he just released it for us. His fans. It is underrated tho

@sajenin3659

It flopped BECAUSE it wasn't promoted.

@ss-on3ll

Ruben The reason is because Justin was going through a lot of shit that time and Scooter refused to promote the album because he was worried about Justin's mental health.
