Roulette
Night Flight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
still I'm dreaming of the days gone past,
to find my dying youth.
But, maybe I was meant to travel blind.
Maybe I was born to realise my fears this time.
I know nothing of regret,
with no escape in view.
But maybe I was meant to travel blind.
Maybe I was born to realize my fears.
Oh baby maybe I just want to fly like you.
So, grab another bullet from the gun.
Grab another drink and lets get out of here.
Grab another drink and lets get out of here.
Love me and don't be led away.
Love me and don't be led away.
Love me and don't be led away.
Love me and don't be led away.
But maybe I was meant to travel blind.
Maybe I was born to realize my fears.
Oh baby maybe I just want to fly like you.
So, grab another bullet from the gun.
The lyrics of "Roulette" by Night Flight is about the fear of growing old, of losing oneself in the seemingly endless cycle of life. The singer confesses that he yearns to relive his youthful days, but he knows that nothing can last forever. He's still in debt, still struggling to find his way out of the daily grind that's slowly killing him. But rather than wallowing in self-pity, he chooses to embrace his fears and uncertainties, trusting that his journey will eventually lead him to a place of peace and fulfillment. In the end, the singer acknowledges that he may never achieve his dreams, but he's willing to take the risk, to live life without regret, and to face whatever comes his way.

Lyrics:
Still I’m dreaming of the days gone past
To find my dying youth
Maybe I was meant to travel blind
Maybe I was born to realize my fear is time
I know nothing of regret
Twenty-nine and still a man in debt
With no escape in view
Maybe I was meant to travel blind
Maybe I was born to realize my fears
Oh, Baby maybe I just wanna fly like you
So, grab another bullet for the gun
Grab another and let's get out of here
Grab another and let's get out of here
Love me and don’t deal it away
Love me and don’t deal it away
???
Love me and don’t deal it away
Oh, Love me and don’t deal it away
Cuz maybe I was meant to travel blind
Maybe I was meant to realize all my fears
Oh, baby maybe I just want to fly like you
So, grab another bullet for the gun
Grab another bullet for the gun
Grab another bullet for the gun

I love this song, really put's a different 'spin' on things
@NIGHTFLIGHTBAND
Hamish Ward I bet you couldn’t wait to pun that!
@hamishcward
It was always going to be a bit of a gamble but I thought there wasn't much at stake and I could re-croup-ier my losses at a later date so no big deal...
