Porter Robinson - Russian Roulette (Official Lyric Video)

Porter Robinson - Russian Roulette (Official Lyric Video)

Video by Darcy Milne

Lyrics:
It’s me, smiling for the team
As I stare directly into the storm, oh
Trust me -
It's a sure thing
Russian Roulette,
You won't get bored

Best friend,
We don't have to pretend one day
I could make you your salary oh

The saddest thing
About my whole machine
She says, and she’s right,
"It depends on me"

Then I close my eyes
Gamble with my life
Trying not to smile
Maybe this time I won't be alright
Maybe this time

Pitchfork reports
They're calling me,
Their words: "The big new thing", oh

YouTube review:
Funny monkey
Takes a piss into his own mouth,
Crazy!

And I thought
It strange
To sell
My face
But let's just make the most of it

My hand is drawn
I put the gun
Against the thing that's stopping me

Then I close my eyes
Gamble with my life
Trying not to smile
Maybe this time I won't be alright
Maybe this time ..

A bad guy just died
they're making memes about it
Nothing matters now
Go fuck myself?
I already did
My friend lost his head,
and what'd I do about it?
and we could laugh about the thoughts that I've been having

Then I close my eyes
Gamble with my life
trying not to smile
Maybe this time I won't be alright
Maybe this time .

I wanna see my mom one more time
I wanna play my songs one more time
I wanna lose my phone one more time
I wanna play in the snow one more time
I wanna kiss my cat one more time
I wanna thank my dad one more time
I wanna marry her one more time
I wanna live i don't want die
I wanna try to change one more time
I wanna live i don't wanna die
I wanna live i don't wanna die
I wanna live
The kick drum and bass suggests the song is coming to a close. (Boo)
That’s the format we are used to.
Cliches like this are beautiful, because they reflect us, and we are beautiful. (Yay!)
Take, for example, this chord progression.
It only became taboo because it was too powerful.
That’s why you won’t forget it.
Don’t kill yourself, you idiot

Chronically online porter discord members currently pausing on every beat of the song to see if they made it into the video

[juustimn]

Bro casually dropped the greatest lyric video of all time on a random Thursday

[Sptn]

My overdose was so peaceful; I sat down with extreme fatigue intending to go to sleep, then laid my head against the wall and died. I felt no pain or anguish, I was finally at peace; but, it wasn't my time. I'm one of the rarest persons alive; I lost the battle to suicide and through the efforts of others was allowed to come back to life. I was dead for nearly 7 minutes. Taking that first breath was like being born again, I immediately started crying and then things slowly came back to me: my name first, then the name of the person that rescued me. By the time I was in the back of the ambulance I could remember the year and who was President at the time. My life both ended and restarted that day, but it left me with an important reminder that the fight is always worth fighting.

This might be the most interesting and unique lyric video I’ve ever seen

[eliaxmustdie]

"crying in the party rave" type shit and i love every second of it. thanks for this Porter 🖤✨

[dizzyhq]

Why are Porter Robinson visuals always just so effortlessly captivating?

[ashbelero]

I needed to hear that last sentence. It's written overtop of my "reasons you are not allowed to disappear" sheet above my computer screen. Every day, one of the reasons I was forcing myself to live goes away - new anime seasons premiere finally, new music comes out, new books come out and I read them. But that one won't go away no matter how long I wait. And hopefully, we'll all be able to use kinder language to tell ourselves this one day.

2:18 "who is this lesbian? oh it's Porter Robinson"😂😂

[greenself]

I love how he still includes some of his Worlds visuals

[Redoxeon]

I just found out that my cousin killed himself last night. My brother in law attempted on Sunday. I've lost friends, and other family members have attempted. I used to be suicidal a few years ago. I wish I was there to help. I wish I knew they weren't alright. I want to send this song to everyone.

[idavid]

Love how much _Trying to Feel Alive_ shows up here--easily one of Porter's best songs, if not his absolute best.

[calpolar]

I'm both ready and not ready to sing "I wanna live, I don't wanna die" at the top of my lungs with y'all at a live show.

4:38 I wanna kiss my cat one more time

That's the greatest impact for me and I started crying when I heard that part.

I had a cat when I was in highschool, it was one of the darkest times of my life and every time I feel sad and crying alone, that cat would always come to me and lay in my lap so I would be comforted. She's not the same like other cats who only care about you when feeding time or if you accidentally step on her she would not scratch you she would just cry so that's how sweet that cat is. Years later I had to move from my home in the province to go the city so I can work and send myself to college. I didn't have my own place to keep her so she stayed with my family. I never got a chance to say goodbye to my cat when it died. I never had another cat ever since then.

I'm already 32 and until now whenever I play games related to having pet cats like pokemon and monster hunter. I always named it kutingting my cat's name. The little love I felt from my cat stayed with my heart forever. I miss my cat so much. I really wish I could kiss and hug my cat one more time.

Thank you Porter for creating such beautiful music

[MetallicDeviant]

This album is a chapter from Porter Robinson's diary in song form and it leaves you crying, feeling nostalgic, being kinder to yourself and others, like you need to call your mom and ends with a song that feels like a hug that tells you its going to be okay. That life is hard but you're going to do great things if you don't give up.

It's almost 1 AM now in my country. I just scrolled my youtube and suddenly this video appeared despite the fact that it just uploaded like 10 minutes ago and even though the song sounds so funky but i still cried from the lyrics especially the bridge part and im in my worst state and shape rn and this song just gave me some hopes to continue my life. Thank you.

[theonenamedv]

I made the mistake of adding this song to my playlist without listening to it first. It came on during my drive to work. At the 2nd verse I was like "what are these lyrics lmao, idk how to feel about new Porter" but I kept listening and focusing on the lyrics. By the time I got to work, I was a sobbing mess, and I still am every time I play this song 🥹
As someone who's been depressed for so long and has made multiple attempts, this song is so powerful. Thank you so much Porter, you're right. I want to live, I don't want to die ❤

Absolutely insane editing. The planning and execution that went into this should not be overlooked. Respect
