Rollercoaster
Luna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your moods are dark and hungry
And it tears me apart
I hold my heart
Ready to be slain

You turn your back so easily and you
Feel no pain
Don't even look to see my heart bleeding in vain

So I ride you like a rollercoaster
Going up
Going down I
Think I've lost my hold on you while
Going around

Your days are dark and lonely and it
Takes you away
I try to capture you each time before its too late

I never succeed
Always somehow in the wrong
You expect me to understand what you never
Say

So I ride you like a rollercoaster
Going up
Going down I
Think I've lost my hold on you while
Going around

Wait until the fire goes out
Wait until the fire goes out
Wait until the fire goes out
Then I come back for more

(I come back for more)
(I come back for more)
(I come back for more)

So I ride you like a rollercoaster
Going up
Going down I
Think I've lost my hold on you while
Going around

And I ride you like a rollercoaster
Going up
Going down I
Think I've lost my hold on you while
Going around, going around

Running around again




Running around again
Running around again

Brilliant addition for the top of the hill at Liseberg. Absolutely love the interaction it has with all the other rides.Wonder if it may be a bit too thrilling for the younger ones due to it being on top of the hill but never the less it's a very smart addition.

FABH Adventures

It really is exactly what the park was missing – a middle coaster as a step up from the kiddie coasters for the ones that are not tall enough yet for their bigger coasters. And the interaction with the other rides is so cool – if you sit in the back se get an great view of the park from the top of the lift hill.

Faavu

Great POV! I really like that Luna is located beautifully on top of the hill and it looks like a fun and exciting roller coaster even though it is a family coaster.

FABH Adventures

Thanks a lot! When you come here next time – you have to try a front row ride. It is surprisingly good!

Theme Parks of America

I wish I could go to Liseberg and ride Luna but the problem is I don't have a passport and I live in the United States so until I can get a passport, I won't be able to go

@Theme Parks of America Are passports expensive in in the US? In Sweden they cost 39 dollars.

Theme Parks of America

@Merima-Gabriella Tropoja In the United States, as least in the part of the us where I live, passports can cost $160 and some places can take up to 2 hours

Stubwood

Going to ride Luna later this year, the setting looks great and that spike looks quite steep for a family coaster

FABH Adventures

Make sure you get a front row ride. The view over the park is amazing and the spike gives really good airtime

Sr. Chi77

Vekoma family boomerangs look very good. Yes, they don't offer the intensity or pacing of other coasters, but they have some solid airtime and offer a thrilling experience for thoosies
