Rolling
O3ohn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down to the cave you belong
Writing it down
To no one who knows I'm alone
Deep as your nights
I need your deja vu to hold
Faces are wounded
But moments are faded again
Fountain of worry
I found you, but I wouldn't know
Moving it on to nowhere that I wouldn't doubt
Faults that I lost
It comes and it goes along
It's just some words that I have been through
And won't go through again

Rolling it down
Descending down to the depths below
Down to the cave you belong
Returning to a familiar, isolated place
Writing it down
Expressing thoughts and feelings through written words
To no one who knows I'm alone
Addressing nobody who understands their solitude
Deep as your nights
As emotionally impactful as one's darkest hours
I need your deja vu to hold
Longing for a sense of familiarity and comfort
Faces are wounded
People are hurting and in pain
But moments are faded again
Past experiences and memories have lost their vibrancy
Fountain of worry
A source of never-ending anxiety
I found you, but I wouldn't know
Having encountered the source of worry but not recognizing it
Moving it on to nowhere that I wouldn't doubt
Continuing on a path without any hesitation or uncertainty
Faults that I lost
Mistakes that have been forgotten or forgiven
It comes and it goes along
Life has its ups and downs
It's just some words that I have been through
Reflecting on past experiences that can only be described in words
And won't go through again
Those experiences will never be repeated
