Cover art for Roulette lyrics by System of a Down

I think I can put a whole new meaning to the song...

I have a problem that I can not explain I have no reason why it should've been so plain ("I" have met someone, that "I" thinks he's in love with. but when it mattered it was all plain because of the excitement of just being with the person without being intimate... but there could have happen so much more) I have no questions but I sure have excuse I lack the reason why I should be so confused ("I" wanted to do something but "I" doesn't have the guts because of the fear of the consequences. And in the end it was so obvious what "I" should have done to the person, and in the presence he was confused about what the person really intended) I know, how I feel when I'm around you I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you ("I" begins to feel, "I" knows what "I" is feeling, but thinks about the signs "I" had from the other person) Around You...

Left a message, but it ain't a bit of use ("I" wrote the person but doesn't get an answer.) I have some pictures but what might be the deuce ("I" is getting an idea of what the signs I got and begins to think it is "I"s own failure) Today you saw, you saw me, you explained (The person explained) playing the show when running down the plane (While playing with the feelings of "I") I know, how I feel when I'm around you I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you I, I know, how I feel when I'm around you I, don't know, how I feel when I'm around you ("I" still doesn't know what to think or what to feel) Around you...

I, I know, how I feel when I'm around you I, don't know, how I feel when I'm around you I, I know, how I feel when I'm around you I, don't know, how I feel when I'm around you...

Around you... Around you... Around you... Around you..
