Rollercoaster
Max Pope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How do I begin? She's coming over she's closing in
She sweeps me off of my feet; I'm on the edge of my seat
Darling don't leave me behind
I need that taste of your kiss to keep me all through the mist oh my
You're like a rollercoaster, how do you make me fly
I wanna hold you closer, until the day I die
I'm on a rollercoaster, watching it all fly by
Stumbling, over my words get a grip on it
She's smilin, but I'm slippin and I'm struggling
She's got me begging for more, I'm all over the floor
Darling don't leave me behind
I need that taste of your kiss to keep me all through the mist oh my
You're like a rollercoaster, how do you make me fly
I wanna hold you closer, until the day I die
Said you're a rollercoaster, and you keep me high
I'm on a rollercoaster, watching it all fly by
Watching it all fly by
The lyrics of Max Pope's song "Rollercoaster" describe the feeling of falling in love and being swept off one's feet. The singer describes being taken aback by the presence of the person they are attracted to and feeling like they are on the edge of their seat. The person they are interested in is compared to a rollercoaster, which is an apt metaphor for the ups and downs of a relationship. The singer speaks of stumbling over their words and struggling to keep up, but despite all of this they are desperate for more. The chorus repeats the theme of the attraction being like a rollercoaster ride, and the singer is content to watch it all fly by as long as they can hold onto the feeling of being high.
The song is well-written and manages to convey the emotions of a love-struck person effectively. The lyrics are easy to relate to, and the rollercoaster metaphor is well executed. The use of sensory language, such as "a shiver crawling up my skin," makes the listener feel like they are experiencing the attraction firsthand.

Bless this video for preserving one of the greatest songs ever
@chasitybarnes9
Dunno why Max removed it from everywhere, youtube, Spotify, soundcloud, can't even find the album to purchase. This is officially a relic and we must preserve it!
