Rollin' And Tumblin'
Rollin' and Tumblin': A Soul's Journey Through Heartbreak and Redemption
Lyrics
I don't think I'm goin' out anymore
I've decided not to go out anymore.
You better find some other body to comfort.
You should find someone else to seek comfort from.
When I was trembling baby you was a diamond,
When I was vulnerable, you were precious like a diamond.
But you ain't a diamond no more.
Now, you've lost that preciousness.
So what you wanna say is my head is a hurricane
You're suggesting my mind is chaotic like a hurricane.
Well l-l-l-let me sleep on that, uh huh, alright.
Let me ponder on that before responding.
You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery
You claim I'm committed to embracing misery.
Well I don't wanna be so devoted no more, aw yeah
I no longer want to be devoted to misery.
And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
My friends aspire to enter heaven.
And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
All I can think about is how I wish you were present.
I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
Rumors circulate that I'm known as "The Great Depression."
Rollin' and tumblin', breakin' my own heart again
Experiencing emotional turmoil and heartbreak again.
Shimmy shimmy shake baby right in my blood stream
A rhythmic, intense sensation in my bloodstream.
I don't know what it was that got in my room.
Uncertain about what entered my room.
My ticker-tape heart broke and everything shook in here
My heart, like ticker-tape, broke, causing a disturbance.
But I learned it could be worse.
Despite the upheaval, I learned it could be worse.
So what you wanna say is my head is a weather-vane
You're suggesting my mind is changeable like a weather-vane.
Spinning with the wind chime, right.
Spinning with the wind chime, symbolizing unpredictability.
Baby I was born on the fourth of July,
I was born on the Fourth of July, exploding with energy.
Exploding like a firework, aw yeah
Similar to a firework's explosion, full of vigor.
And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
Friends aim to reach heaven.
And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
Continuously longing for your presence.
I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
Reputation of being labeled "The Great Depression."
Rollin' and tumblin'
Experiencing a continuous cycle of ups and downs.
And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
Friends still seek entry into heaven.
And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
Endlessly wishing for your company.
I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
The nickname "The Great Depression" persists.
Rollin' and tumblin'
The tumultuous cycle continues.
So should I take everything, all your temporary medicines?
Questioning whether to accept temporary solutions.
Should I take your reds, your blues, and your cocaine?
Considering taking various substances for relief.
Should I take something to try on the weekend?
Contemplating trying something new on the weekend.
Should I take anything, or did you mean everything?
Questioning the extent of what to take—everything or just specific things.
When I hit the wall, wrecked from it all
When faced with difficulties, feeling broken and exhausted.
You put flowers down on the cold ground
Symbolic gesture of placing flowers on the ground in response to a downfall.
And cry me a river
An emotional plea for sympathy and understanding.
And assure me I'm crazy
Seeking reassurance amid doubts about sanity.
While you question the answers
Reflecting on life's uncertainties while questioning established beliefs.
And then you lean on my best friends
Dependence on close friends during difficult times.
Until you find better weather
Searching for better circumstances elsewhere.
And you take a vacation
Choosing to distance oneself temporarily for relief.
I hope you got all my letters
Expressing hope that written communication was received.
Signed "The Great Depression"
Reaffirmation of the nickname "The Great Depression."
Baby rollin' and tumblin'
Continuing to experience the turbulent cycle of emotions.
