Roman
Okay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are better than them all
We're getting bigger every day
You can't get in our way
Rotten to the core
No time left no more
Fall on me my country
I won't stand in your way
Fall on me my country
There ain't no other way
The lyrics to Okay's song "Roman" express a sense of pride and determination. The opening lines "We got reason to stand tall / We are better than them all" are a rallying cry for self-empowerment. The following lines "We're getting bigger every day / You can't get in our way" reinforce this idea and suggest that they are on an upward trajectory and nothing can stop them. However, the song takes a darker turn with the repetition of the phrase "Rotten to the core", which suggests that there may be something sinister lurking beneath the surface of their bravado. The final lines of the song "Fall on me my country / I won't stand in your way / Fall on me my country / There ain't no other way" could be interpreted in a number of ways, but they evoke a sense of unity and sacrifice for the greater good.
Overall, the lyrics of "Roman" are open to interpretation, but they convey a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Whether the "rotten to the core" line is meant to be taken literally or metaphorically, it adds a layer of complexity to the song and suggests that there may be more going on beneath the surface.
