Russian Roulette
Kiss - www.music.pbtone.com Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(She lives like russian roulette. Barrel up to the head. Where every sweet young move is belonging to a sickness.) Now enter special things to detour all the pain, like a brand new, solid mess. But nothing seems to last... It strikes when you've thought you won. It's self destruction. It strikes when you've thought you won. And the delicate balance won't survive the turbulence. Now, enter the escape from everything you've made. Cause something wrong inside won't let you live your life. It strikes when you've thought you won. It's self destruction. It strikes when you've thought you won. And down you will go, with a tail of flames stretched out behind you. The cold wind will blind you. And in all that you can't see. The simplicity is beautiful.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics "She lives like russian roulette. Barrel up to the head. Where every sweet young move is belonging to a sickness" tell the story of a person who is living their life dangerously, taking risks that could ultimately lead to their demise. The image of a barrel up to the head illustrates the danger and risk-taking behavior of this person. The line "Where every sweet young move is belonging to a sickness" suggests that every move this person makes is fueled by a dark and destructive force within them.


The second part of the song talks about the escape from this self-destructive behavior, but implies that it may not be possible. The line "It strikes when you've thought you won" refers to the unpredictable and destructive nature of the risk-taking behavior. The delicate balance of trying to escape this behavior and the turbulent force that keeps pulling the person back is a theme throughout the song. Despite trying to escape, the person ultimately spirals downwards with a tail of flames, symbolizing a destructive end to their life.


Overall, the lyrics paint a dark and ominous picture of the consequences of living life on the edge and the struggle to escape that lifestyle. The simplicity of the end also suggests that sometimes the simplest solution is the most beautiful, but it may be too late for the person in the song.

Lyrics:
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

날카로운 secret 둘러싼
얘긴 베일 속에
점점 더 깊은 h-h-hush
맘을 겨눠 이제
여긴 온통 어두운 밤하늘색
그림자조차 길을 잃게 해

Oh 넌 항상 love is game
쉽게 즐기는 가벼움일 뿐이라고
뭐 이렇게 못된 얘기로 자꾸
피해 가려고만 하니 왜

커지는 heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
너답잖게 heart b-b-b-beat
거려 나를 볼 때
마지막 남은 순간까지
점점 다가오지 crazy
아찔하게 겨눈 russian roulette
Ah-ah-ah-yeah
La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)
Heart b-b-b-beat
마지막 남은 순간까지
내게 맡기게 될 거야 넌
달콤한 너의 Russian roulette

반짝인 secret
더 이상 외면하진 못해
버튼은 내가 p-p-push
받아들여 이제
니 맘 온통 내 모습 채워지게
꿈꿀 때조차 나를 찾게 돼

Oh 아직 넌 love is game
내게 말해도 흔들려 니 목소리도
장난스레 스친 눈빛 너머로
어쩔 줄 모르는 니 모습

커지는 heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
너답잖게 heart b-b-b-beat
거려 나를 볼 때
마지막 남은 순간까지
점점 다가오지 crazy
아찔하게 겨눈 Russian roulette
Ah-ah-ah-yeah
La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)
Heart b-b-b-beat
마지막 남은 순간까지
내게 맡기게 될 거야 넌
달콤한 너의 Russian roulette

이토록 깊은 꿈이 넌 처음일걸
내 맘이 이 밤이 아른거리는 game
You can't control

커지는 heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
터질 듯한 heart b-b-b-beat
Key는 내가 쥘게
마지막 남은 순간까지
점점 다가오지 crazy
아찔하게 겨눈 Russian roulette
Ah-ah-ah-yeah
La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)
Heart b-b-b-beat
마침내 빼낼 수도 없게 박혀
니 심장 더 깊은 곳
달콤한 너의 Russian roulette

커지는 heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
La-la-la-la-la
커지는 heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
La-la-la-la-la
Heart b-b-b-beat
