| Thea Gilmore – Roll On Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
Thea is the greatest poet of our time.
Tin-pot & infidel in the first verse explain her unimportance & lack of religion/belief/belonging. That sets up the rest of the song that describes how she is rolling through life with no purpose or direction. Lots of references to self-destruction, drugs, depression, all very dark.
Tongue, body, soul aren’t worth much. Maybe a glimmer of hope that they’ll be bought back someday but until then, just roll on through the depression. Go through the motions until then.

Clearly about use of drugs. When you are a slave to your addiction, nothing else in the world matters. That drug is your god and you worship nothing else, you think about nothing else. You shall know no other god but the object of your addiction. |

this is my favourite Thea song at the moment but I change my mind every week, she's amazing. So depressing and so true. I'm sure everyone can relate. Lack of communication from both parties contributes to the break up and there is resentment at his new relationship. We've all been there. |

@[pihkal:18225] been a while since you posted this but I completely agree. Its about being lost. Lost in drugs, lost in life, just going with the flow but without any direction in life, that feeling you have when you're regularly using. I adore Thea, she really captures that wayward feeling in a lot of her songs that I can identify with. She is one of the greatest poets of our time and happy to say I've lost count of how many times I've seen her live, at least 12, but she never disappoints. |

I always interpreted it to be about addiction. Vowing to move on and behave but always being enslaved by it. And given the chance to go back knowing what you know now, would you take that same wayward path again? Having read other people's thoughts though, I agree it can relate to many other personal battles with past demons and regrets. I think this is my interpretation because addiction is my personal demon. Definitely my favourite song from the album by miles, so emotional the way it builds and then at the end returning to a simple acoustic guitar like the calm after the storm, a perfect metaphor for the song's meaning. |
