Round & Round
Rat Attack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
Another day, some other way
We're gonna go, but then we'll see you again
I've had enough, we've had enough
Cold in vain, she said

(Pre-chorus)

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

(Chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why

Dig

Lookin' at you, lookin' at me
The way you move, you know it's easy to see
The neon light's on me tonight
I've got a way, we're gonna prove it tonight
Like Romeo to Juliet
Time and time, I'm gonna make you mine
I've had enough, we've had enough
It's all the same, she said

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Yeah!

Solo

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf

(Chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time, time, time, time
Round and round
What comes around goes around




I'll tell you why, why, why, why
Round and round

Overall Meaning

The song "Round & Round" by Rat Attack talks about someone who is trying to win over a love interest by promising them an exciting and fun-filled life. The song starts with the two lovebirds meeting on the streets, and the singer promising to make the night memorable for their love interest. They reveal that they like to indulge in excesses, including abusing themselves, and if anyone gets in their way, they will put them on the shelf. However, despite the singer's efforts to woo the love interest, it seems like nothing is ever enough. The pre-chorus talks about the singer's realisation that their love interest is going to win, and regardless of how hard they try, they will lose.


The chorus of the song, which repeats the words 'Round and Round,' talks about the cyclical nature of love. It suggests that love always comes back around, and what goes around eventually comes around. The singer, in the chorus, implores their love interest to give love time, and it will find a way to work out. However, the final line of the chorus reveals that the singer, despite their optimism, is aware of the painful consequences of love. The song ends with the chorus repetition and the singer promising their love interest a life of fun and excitement.
