Roll Over
Zico Chain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All calm well he never knew
They'll try to make it up for you
Too tired and that's another reason
No right right for another view
No other cultures just the news
Moonlight too late at night for you, no
He's right cause he wont get drunk
I'll make it up for you
Roll over
I can not heal
I've thought enough for two
Roll over
Suit tricks standing on a corner
No class well he never knew
No inhibitions less to lose
Ideals, you're suddenly the victim
It all starts to make less sense
You're lack of vision's consequence
Moonlight too late at night for you, no
Lie safe in your bedroom
Don't beg, don't steal
I'll make it up for you
Roll over
I can not heal
I've thought enough for two
Roll over
And you let it all fall down
Who said he thinks for two
And he spoke of comfort, truth
And you're level that's your problem
You're so cynical
The lyrics to Zico Chain's "Roll Over" explore themes of apathy, disillusionment, and frustration with the state of the world. The singer describes two people standing on a corner, one calm and unaware, the other tired and jaded. The latter knows that things won't change and there is no hope for other cultures, only what is portrayed in the news. The moonlight is a reminder of how late it is and the futility of trying to make a difference.
The song also touches on the idea of personal responsibility, with the line "Don't beg, don't steal, I'll make it up for you." The singer seems to be taking responsibility for their own actions, while also acknowledging that they cannot heal or fix everything. They have already thought enough for two, indicating that they have already done their part.
The second half of the song explores the idea of complacency and being stuck in one's ways. The suit tricks standing on a corner with no class and no inhibitions implies someone who is too comfortable with their current state, leading to a lack of vision and consequence. The moonlight symbolizes a lack of action, with the lie safe in your bedroom indicating that it's easier to just stay put rather than try to make a change.
Overall, "Roll Over" is a commentary on the state of the world and how easy it is to become apathetic and disillusioned. The singer seems to be urging listeners to take responsibility for their own actions and not give up hope for change, even if it seems unlikely.
