Rollercoaster Ride
Natasha Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I think our love is wrong
Are we really meant to be
Or should I break free
I never quite know which way to turn
So far there's just one little thing that I've learned
[Chorus]
It's a rollercoaster ride
are one point I'm on the side,
Next thing I'm almost flying
It's a rollercoaster ride
Sometimes I'm up sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I'm spinning 'round
And it's never gonna stop, this thing called love...
Sometimes I almost hit the breaks
but then I think 'bout what's to steak
You're the only one I love
So I decide not to stop
[Chorus]
Changed my mind about a million times,
I want to walk away but my
hears wants to stay, so I don't know
I'm never quite sure 'bout which way it's gonna go
[Chorus: x2]
Natasha Thomas’s song Rollercoaster Ride is an emotional journey of love and its ups and downs. The song captures the dilemmas and confusion that anyone can face in a relationship, the oscillation between extreme highs and lows that can be overwhelming but also exhilarating. The opening lines depict the mixed feelings that arise in a relationship, the confusion as to whether the love is strong or wrong, and the anxiety of being unsure about whether the partners are meant to be together or not. The singer expresses her state of mind, which constantly switches between the two opposite emotions, and highlights how she has to grapple with this internal conflict.
The chorus captures the essence of the song, with the lyrics emphasizing that love is an unpredictable and tumultuous journey. The use of metaphor of a rollercoaster ride serves as a perfect analogy to depict the unpredictable nature of love. The ecstasy of feeling on top of the world in love and moments later crashing down to despair and pain. The singer beautifully describes the stunning emotional variation of love, where she experiences moments of joy and moments of intense pain, as she spins around on this rollercoaster of emotions. The singer goes on to talk about how she has changed her mind a million times, wanting to walk away from love, but her heart wants to stay, and she is never quite sure which way it’s going to go.

Sometimes I feel our love is strong
Occasionally I experience our relationship as a powerful force
Sometimes I think our love is wrong
Occasionally I worry that our love is misguided
Are we really meant to be
I question whether we are truly meant to be together
Or should I break free
I consider the possibility of ending things
I never quite know which way to turn
I am uncertain about the direction our relationship is going
So far there's just one little thing that I've learned
The only thing I have been able to establish is the unpredictability of love
It's never gonna stop, this crazy thing called love
Love is an intense, unending experience
It's a rollercoaster ride
It has its ups and downs like a rollercoaster
At one point I'm on the side,
At times I am feeling a bit distant
Next thing I'm almost flying
Other times I am fully immersed in love's exhilaration
Sometimes I'm up sometimes I'm down
My emotions are fluctuating
Sometimes I'm spinning 'round
I feel dizzy and disoriented
Sometimes I almost hit the breaks
There are moments where I am close to stopping everything
But then I think 'bout what's to steak
I contemplate what I would lose if I ended things
You're the only one I love
I am still deeply in love with you
So I decide not to stop
Ultimately, I choose to keep going
Changed my mind about a million times,
I have gone back and forth countless times
I want to walk away but my heart wants to stay, so I don't know
I am conflicted since my heart is still attached to you
I'm never quite sure 'bout which way it's gonna go
I am always uncertain about how our relationship will progress
It's never gonna stop, this thing called love...
Love will continue to be a never-ending, unpredictable journey
