| Rihanna – Russian Roulette Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think this song is about falling in love, but it is speaking about it from a totally helpless point of view. A lot of songs are about love being bliss but in reality it can be paralysing. The metaphor of russian roulette and shooting yourself, is plunging in to a relationship. The moment where you 'pull the trigger' is the moment where you commit to someone enough, that they are now in a position to break your heart. The line of 'hes here means he has never lost' means because he single/available means he has never played the game and not lost his heart anyone completely. I guess, as normal in a rihanna song, the act of sleeping with the guy is the act of pulling the trigger and falling for him. 'close your eyes, sometimes it helps' is kissing etc The middle 8 is a bit intense, but can sadly also be true. ''Too late to pick up the value of my life'' is that feeling where you are no longer completely self dependant. That horrible feeling were you can't imagine having not met someone and that you are not complete without them. Sappy movies such as Jerry Maguire have made sentiment of this, but it is actually painful to be that in love with some one. Very interesting song because it barely strays from the metaphor and could almost be a literal meaning. |

| i always thought this song was about him trying to make it work with girls, but inside it was never what he wanted cuz he always knew he was gay. 'you in a cocktail dress, me in a suit, well it just wasn't me'. doens't fit the whole song but seems to fit some of it spot on! | |
