Rollin
Tomorrows Bad Seeds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

SITTIN ON THE WALL WATCHING THE TIME GO BY
REMINISCING OF THE HIGH AND THE LOW TIDES
IN THE OCEAN WAVES OF EMOTION GRIP SO TIGHT
THE PRESSURE OF THE WAVE HAS GOT ME
CANT SEEM TO MAKE IT THOGH THE SETS ARE ROLLIN IN

ROLLIN IN….
CAN’T SEEM TO MAKE IT THOUGH THE SETS ARE ROLLIN IN

JAMMIN DOWN THE LINE DROP IN A PERFECT WAVE
AND THE SUN IS SHINING DOWN ON THIS BRIGHT SUNNY SUMMER’S DAY
BUT IN THE OCEAN WAVES OF EMOTION GRIPS SO TIGHT
THE PRESSURE OF THE WAVE’S GOT ME
CANT SEEM TO MAKE IT THOUGH THE SETS ARE ROLLIN IN

ROLLIN IN
CAN’T SEEM TO MAKE IT THOUGH THE SETS ARE ROLLIN IN
ROLLIN IN
CAN’T SEEM TO MAKE IT THOUGH THE SETS ARE ROLLIN IN




ROLLIN IN
CAN’T SEEM TO MAKE IT THOUGH THE SETS ARE ROLLIN IN

Overall Meaning

Tomorrows Bad Seeds's song "Rollin" tells the story of someone sitting on the wall, watching time go by and reminiscing about the high and low tides they've experienced. The ocean waves of emotion grip tight, and the pressure of the waves is overwhelming, as they struggle to make it through the sets rolling in.


The lyrics convey the struggle of navigating the waves of life, the highs and the lows. The ocean becomes a metaphor for the many emotions that we experience, and the waves are the challenges that we face. The pressure of the waves can become too much, and at times it may feel like we can't make it through.


The second half of the song, however, brings a glimmer of hope. The sun is shining down on a bright and sunny summer's day, and the singer drops in a perfect wave. But, even in this moment of triumph, the ocean waves of emotion still grip tightly, and the pressure is still overwhelming. The struggle is ongoing, and the sets keep rolling in.


Overall, the lyrics of "Rollin" speak to the human experience of struggling through life's challenges, even when it feels like it's too much to bear.
