Roulette
Serj Tankian/System of a Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have no reason why it should have been so plain
Have no questions but I sure have excuse
I lack the reason why I should be so confused
I know
How I feel when I'm around you
I don't know
Around you
Left a message but it ain't a bit of use
I have some pictures, the wild might be the deuce
Today you saw, you saw me, you explained
Playing the show when running down the plane
I know
How I feel when I'm around you
I don't know
How I feel when I'm around you
I, I know
How I feel when I'm around you
I don't know
How I feel when I'm around you
Around you
I, I know
How I feel when I'm around you
I don't know
How I feel when I'm around you
I, I know
How I feel when I'm around you
I don't know
How I feel when I'm around you
Around you
Around you
Around you
Around you
Roulette by Serj Tankian, the frontman of System of a Down, is a song that shows how a person can be at loss as to why they are confused about their feelings concerning another person. The opening line, "I have a problem that I cannot explain," highlights this frustration. The singer, perhaps, tries to understand the reason they have developed certain feelings but comes short. While they know how they feel around the other person, they still lack clarity regarding the cause of their confusion.
Furthermore, the singer admits, "I lack the reason why I should be so confused." This line, coupled with "I have no reason why it should have been so plain," could mean that the person under consideration causes no reason for confusion or doubt, but the singer cannot help feeling that way. They try to communicate with the person, leaving a message, but it seems useless. The use of the word 'deuce' can mean a low chance or a wild card. This mysterious factor could be the reason behind the person's struggle.
Overall, Roulette could be about the conflict between the heart and mind. The singer is trying to understand an overwhelming emotion and its root cause when everything around them is so plain. It speaks to the complicated nature of human beings and how they can be so intricate in the simplest situations.
