Rollercoaster
Mod Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody get me off this ride
I'm no good when I get this high
Rollercoaster round and round
Rollercoaster

Somebody get me off this ride
I'm no good when I get this high
Rollercoaster round and round
Rollercoaster (rollercoaster)

I've been sober almost two years now
Yeah, I'm so proud
I walk into the room, yeah, I'm so loud (so loud)
That's the universe talking (hey)
I keep going, no, I can't slow down
I'm dodging my demons (I'm dodging my demons)
I'm dodging my demons (I'm dodging my demons)

Somebody get me off this ride
I'm no good when I get this high
Rollercoaster round and round
Rollercoaster

Somebody get me off this ride
I'm no good when I get this high
Rollercoaster round and round (round and round)
Rollercoaster (rollercoaster)

Face down on a mattress in the afternoon
I'm so scared of the life that comes after you
Nightmares with eyes wide open
My big break almost left me broken
Bad reputation still haunts me (still haunts me)
I know my past still wants me (still wants me)
Bad reputation still haunts me
I know my past still wants me

Somebody get me off this ride
I'm no good when I get this high
Rollercoaster round and round
Rollercoaster

Somebody get me off this ride (get me off this ride)
I'm no good when I get this high (when I get this high)
Rollercoaster round and round (round and round)
Rollercoaster (rollercoaster)

Round and round
Round and round




Round and round

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mod Sun's "Rollercoaster" describe the singer's struggle with addiction and how being on that "ride" ultimately leads to a downward spiral. The rollercoaster metaphor symbolizes the highs and lows of addiction, with the singer admitting that when he gets high, he is "no good," implying that he cannot function or be his best self when under the influence. He expresses a sense of desperation, asking for someone to get him off the ride, showing that he knows he needs help to break the cycle. Additionally, his past haunts him, with the mention of nightmares, and the repetition of the phrase "bad reputation still haunts me."


The second half of the song speaks to the singer's journey towards sobriety. He mentions being sober for almost two years and how proud he is of that achievement. He also acknowledges the difficulty of staying on the path of sobriety and "dodging my demons," hinting at the ongoing challenges he still faces. This part of the song appears to show hope and growth, as the singer is aware of his struggles and is actively trying to work through them.


In summary, "Rollercoaster" speaks to the dark side of addiction and the importance of seeking help to break the cycle. The rollercoaster metaphor is an apt one, representing the ups and downs of addiction and how it's a never-ending cycle unless you can get off the ride.

“ I’ve been sober almost two years now. Yeah and I am so proud” you make all of us so proud!!! That’s is a hell of an achievement! You give so many people the motivation to get clean and so many of us to stay clean. It feels easier when we can see others do it. Thank you for sharing so much with us that you never had to. !!!! Love you

Mod Sun

Thanks alot man

Lour Lopez

My only complaint about your album is that the songs are too short taking into account they are so addictive 😍

kickn it

Stats show people only listen to songs for 2 minutes. Then they switch. Alot of artists are making shorter songs now adays. No more 7 -9 minute songs but the repeat button works better now.

@kickn it i feel like if you have long albums now days with long songs you have to have 1 or 2 singles that are listenable for these low attention spans but at the same you have to have and album for the people who are dedicated fans, but also long albums kind of dont do well if there is no story being told throughout the album with the songs

Lour Lopez

@kickn it Wow our attention spam has decreased a lot in this past few technological years. I didn't know that, thanks. I guess it was a smart move, then!

Mod Sun

@Lour Lopez Thanks man for you comment
