Man-Revolutionary!
Rogue Wave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some bed of roses I have given you
Some bed of roses I have given you
You're gonna stand up

Some bed of nails I have given you
Everybody's been there, I just live there too
You don't stand up
It's completely normal
Well, I guess I guess I guess

Wanna be on the right end

Will I know if I stay here tomorrow?
Will I know I won't be just fine?
Will I know if I stay here tomorrow?
Will I know I won't be just fine?

It's completely morbid
I'm a guest a guest a guest

Wanna be on the right end





Ooh, answer my dying wish
Ooh, answer my dying wish

Overall Meaning

The song "Revolutionary" by Rogue Wave is a thoughtful and introspective reflection on the singer's relationship with someone they care deeply for. The lyrics are made up of two stanzas, each beginning with a statement about the kind of experiences the singer is responsible for providing for their loved one. The first stanza declares that the singer has given their loved one a bed of roses, but also a bed of nails that everyone experiences. The second stanza shifts from this reflection on the past to a series of questions about the future. The singer wonders if they will be okay if they stay put, and if they are making the right choices to end up where they want to be. The repeated phrase "wanna be on the right end" seems to signify a desire for a sense of direction or purpose in life. The final lines, "answer my dying wish," suggest a sense of urgency and the singer's desire to find some kind of resolution before it's too late.


The song is open to interpretation, but it could be seen as a rumination on the challenges of caring for someone and trying to guide them through life while struggling to find one's own way. The image of a bed of roses alongside a bed of nails shows that there are both good and bad experiences that people will inevitably encounter, and that the singer has tried their best to create a positive environment for their loved one while acknowledging the difficulties they must face. The questions in the second half of the song suggest a sense of uncertainty about the future and a longing for clarity or validation.
