Professor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with Bernard Collins (Abyssinians) harmony trio
To the ocean people we will go
When the band starts playing real, real slow
My people will roll on like a roller coaster
On like a roller coast my people will roll
(horn melody)
(guitar solo)
To the ocean people we will go
When the band starts playing real, real slow
My people will roll on like a roller coaster
On like a roller coast my people will roll
(horn melody)
The lyrics to the song Roller Coaster by Professor featuring Bernard Collins from the Abyssinians is a poetic representation of the ups and downs, twists and turns of life. The opening lines, "To the ocean people we will go, when the band starts playing real, real slow," depict a sense of anticipation for something new and exciting, perhaps a change of scenery or a new experience. The use of the metaphorical roller coaster in the chorus further emphasizes this sentiment, suggesting that the journey may be unpredictable and full of ups and downs, but that people should embrace it nonetheless. The repetition of the phrase "my people will roll on like a roller coaster" reinforces the notion of togetherness and unity in the face of uncertainty.
The horn melody and guitar solo in the song adds another layer of emotion and depth to the lyrics. The horns mimic the twists and turns of a roller coaster, while the guitar solo seems to represent the moments of calm in between the chaos. The lyrics themselves offer a hopeful message that life's highs and lows should be cherished and enjoyed, no matter how unpredictable they may be.
