Rollercoaster
Saint Blonde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come and sit next to me
Got some words to say words to say
Pay to play, pay to play
You couldn′t last through the day, boy
Came over to the west side
Don't waste my time boy
No way, boy
Upside down and inside out
She′s a rollercoaster
Don't let me down don't let me down
She′s a rollercoaster
I lost my composure
(She said)
Don′t hang around you thorn in my side
This town's not for boys with stars in their eyes
All the girls like me
We run the streets
And I don′t play house
I take what I need
I take what I need
Upside down and inside out
She's a rollercoaster
Don′t let me down don't let me down
She′s a rollercoaster
I lost my composure
They say
These roads don't lead the same way
Wrong turn
She doesn't want me to stay
Wrong move
She didn′t ask to be saved
She didn′t as to be saved
Upside down and inside out
She's a rollercoaster
Don′t let me down don't let me down
She′s a rollercoaster
I lost my composure
Don't let me down don′t let me down
She's a rollercoaster
I lost my composure
In the first verse, the singer invites someone to sit next to them and expresses that they have something important to say. They mention "pay to play," suggesting that this person couldn't endure the challenges they faced. The singer then mentions being on the west side and not wanting their time wasted. This could imply that they are tired of dealing with someone who isn't committed or reliable.
The chorus describes the person in question as a rollercoaster. This can be interpreted as them being unpredictable, constantly changing, and perhaps even thrilling to be around. The singer asks this person not to let them down, indicating that they have high expectations or hopes for their relationship. However, they admit that they lost their composure, suggesting that this rollercoaster-like behavior has taken a toll on them emotionally.
In the bridge, the singer relays words spoken by the other person. This person calls the singer a "thorn in their side" and implies that the town they are in is not suitable for dreamers or those with ambitious aspirations. They assert that they and the girls like them run the streets, refusing to conform to traditional expectations. They claim to take what they need rather than playing house, asserting their independence and determination.
The second chorus reinforces the idea that this person is a rollercoaster, urging them not to let the singer down again, knowing that their emotions and stability are at stake. The repeated line about losing composure indicates that this person's behavior has caused the singer to feel out of control.
In the final verse, there is a sense of desperation as the singer reflects on the belief that these roads they both take will not lead to the same destination. It appears that the singer made a wrong move or decision, as the person they are addressing doesn't want them to stay. This person never asked to be saved, implying that they don't desire or need assistance.
Overall, "Rollercoaster" explores the complexities and challenges of a relationship with someone who is unpredictable and noncommittal. It highlights the frustration, emotional turmoil, and uncertainty that can arise from being involved with someone who constantly changes their course. The song also touches on themes of independence, self-assurance, and the rejection of societal expectations, particularly from the perspective of the person being sung about.
