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
How I feel when I'm around you, around you
Left a message but it ain't a bit of use
I have some pictures but one might be the duce
Today you saw, you saw me you explained
Playin' the show when runnin' down the plain
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
The song "Roulette" by System Of A Down describes a sense of confusion and a lack of understanding that the singer is experiencing. He has a problem that he cannot explain and no reason for its existence, but he has an excuse for it. He is not asking questions but coming up with excuses for his situation. He is puzzled and perplexed, and he struggles with such a feeling.
The song seems to suggest a complicated relationship between two people, and it is apparent that the singer's emotions are tied to this relationship. He expresses that he knows how he feels when he is around this person but is unsure of what exactly that feeling is. He is both drawn to and confused by this individual.
The song's lyrics are somewhat ambiguous, leaving room for interpretation. One could speculate that the song is about a one-sided relationship or a bad break-up. It could also propose general anxiety or depression that the author is experiencing.

I have a problem that I cannot explain
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, how I feel when I'm around you
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 and 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
