Roller Skates
Nick Hakim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taking you for granted, it's going to change now
I can't believe I left you up waiting
Will you forgive me although I've forsaken
All of you?
All of you?
All of you?
Dear let's do what you want to
Look at what I'm saying, let's go
For a ride
Look into the mirror
A couple days later it's now or for better
All of you
All of you
All of you
In Nick Hakim's Roller Skates, the song starts with a solemn tone, with the admission that the singer has taken someone for granted. The lyrics indicate a realization that a change is needed in their relationship, as the singer feels like they have forsaken the one they love. The chorus follows, posing a question if the loved one will forgive the singer despite their mistakes. The singer repeats “All of you?” as they acknowledge that they have hurt, disappointed and overlooked the special person in their life.
The second verse of the song details the singer’s desire to make things right. They suggest that they want to do what the loved one wants to do, and invites them to come along for the ride. The lyrics take a turn when the singer asks the loved one to “look into the mirror” indicating self-reflection and accountability. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus but this time with the affirmation of the singer’s love and hopes for forgiveness.
Overall, Roller Skates is a reflection on self-reflection, action and redemption, asking for forgiveness, and the beauty of love that motivates change.

I'd like to thank the artist for capturing Nick as he truly is. A rollerskating virtuoso God with a fondness of good beanies.
I've seen him live kids, I can vouch for this fully.

@ShonTolliverMusic
for the new fans coming from Adult Swim and want more of Nick's music. Start with my personal favorite "the Light" and "Papas Fritas", and "cold." I'll see y'all at the live shows this summer and fall.

This animator seems much more confident in quick looping animations, those fractal/LSD visual-esque patterns at the end and beginning are incredible.
