Russian Roulette
Mind Games in Chaos: "Russian Roulette" Revelations
Lyrics
Take it or leave it I've heard it been said
Expressing indifference or decisiveness, acknowledging a common saying.
All this Spring fever's just way over my head
Feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions associated with spring.
Stealing my moments, taking up all my time
Personal experiences are being taken away by external forces.
It's playing Russian Roulette with my mind
Metaphorically describing a mental struggle or risk-taking situation.
It's none of my business baby just what's going on
Expressing disinterest or detachment from someone else's situation.
I'm not going to wait till somebody throw me a bone
Refusing to depend on others and taking initiative.
I'm way out on a limb now, and nothing seems to rhyme
Feeling vulnerable and disconnected, struggling to find coherence.
It's playing Russian Roulette with my mind
Reiterating the metaphor of mental risk-taking or uncertainty.
I think that you've caught on, that you've been used and all
Noticing someone else's realization of being manipulated or mistreated.
I'm going down New Orleans, I've got to see Dr. John
Deciding to seek help, possibly from a symbolic figure like Dr. John.
Got my mojo working everything will be fine
Expressing confidence and optimism after seeking assistance.
Stop playing Russian Roulette with my mind
Requesting others to stop causing mental distress or uncertainty.
It's not easy baby when everything starts getting out of control
Acknowledging the difficulty when life becomes chaotic or unpredictable.
Hang on your hat now, hang on to your soul
Encouraging resilience and holding onto one's core identity.
Don't worry baby, I want to throw you the line
Expressing a desire to support and help someone facing challenges.
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
Extending the metaphor to warn someone about mental risk-taking.
Too many hustlers, I've been here before
Reflecting on past encounters with deceptive or untrustworthy individuals.
None of them really know just who that you are
Highlighting the lack of understanding or recognition by others.
Everything gets contracted and space gets confined
Describing a constricted and confined state of being.
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
Warning about the mental risks posed by external influences.
They're playing Russian Roulette
Repetition of the metaphor, emphasizing the ongoing mental gamble.
They're playing Russian Roulette
Reiterating the dangerous game being played with the mind.
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
Stressing the external forces contributing to mental uncertainty.
They're playing Russian Roulette
Continuing the repetition to underscore the persistence of the risk.
They're playing Russian Roulette
Emphasizing the ongoing mental gamble and its impact.
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
Concluding with a strong statement about the continuous risk to the mind.
