Rollin'
Rollin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I knew you place no one above me
Did I mistake this for a real romance?
I wish I knew, but only you can answer.
If you don't care, why let me hop[e and pray so
Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool just say so,
Should I keep dreaming on, or just forget you?
In Rollin's song "Rollin' In," the lyrics focus on the theme of unrequited love and the confusion that can come with it. The singer of the song longs for the love of someone he wishes he knew, someone who could really love him and place him above all else. However, he questions whether or not these feelings are real or if he's simply mistaken love for something else entirely.
The second verse demonstrates the singer's confusion as to whether or not the person he loves actually cares for him at all. He questions why he's allowed to hope and pray for a love that may not exist, and pleads for honesty if the other person is not interested. The singer then poses the question of whether or not he should continue to dream about this love or try to forget about it altogether.

Very true. Around the time me and my mates found keys still in a fork lift truck at a warehouse that was being built. We would ride that sun up to sun down. Then when the police came we bolted up the unused trainline. Check out the magazine stash at the train station that had been delivered. Steal that. Then do a watch on the forklift until the police left and repeat the process
