Roosevelt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me you know
I feel all about for you
You seem to lie Elliot.
Before you go
Theres nothing more left for you
And nothing by the way.
Tell me know
I feel all about for you
You seem to lie Elliot.
Before you go
Theres nothing more left for you
And nothing by the way.
Elliot Elliot, look out!
We got time on the way from you
Elliot, Elliot, look out!
We got time on the way from you
Tell me know
I feel all about for you
You seem to lie Elliot.
Before you go
Theres nothing more left for you
And nothing by the way.
Elliot Elliot, look out!
We got time on the way from you




Elliot, Elliot, look out!
We got time on the way from you

Overall Meaning

In Roosevelt's song Elliot, the lyrics describe a sense of betrayal towards someone named Elliot who has apparently lied or deceived the singer in some way. The repetition of "Tell me you know, I feel all about for you, you seem to lie Elliot" emphasizes the singer's frustration and disbelief towards Elliot's actions. The line "Before you go, there's nothing more left for you and nothing by the way" suggests that the singer is ready to move on from the situation and is essentially ending the relationship with Elliot.


The chorus repeats the line "Elliot Elliot, look out! We got time on the way from you" which can be interpreted as a warning or a threat towards Elliot. The use of repetition and the urgent tone in the singer's delivery adds to the intensity of the song's emotions. The lyrics overall convey a sense of hurt and betrayal towards someone who has broken the singer's trust.

Maybe correct lyrics:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tell me you know
Nothing was meant for you
You seem to light her eyes
Before you go
There's nothing more left for you
You love the night away
(x2 in original mix only)

Elliot, Elliot, look out
We got time, on our way, for now
Elliot, Elliot, look out
We got time, on our way, for now

Tell me you know
Nothing was meant for you
You seem to light her eyes
Before you go
There's nothing more left for you
You love the night away

Elliot, Elliot, look out
We got time, on our way, for now
Elliot, Elliot, look out
We got time, on our way, for now
---------------------------------------------------------------
Confirmed a lot of things by lip-reading a live performance.

Edit 2018: I changed it to "you seem to light her eyes" because that sounds poetic and accurate.
