I have been singing this song all week, and I mean all week. Sometimes, I don’t even realise I’m doing it. I haven’t heard it in a while, and I must have subconsciously heard it somewhere and now can’t shake it.
I love this song. I have had a huge surge of inspiration after fully appreciating the lyrics, and on a side note, I think the actor in the music video, Jesse Williams, has something very Adam ‘esque’ about him- even the green eyes! It must be a sign. EVO Nation readers what do you think?!
Russian Roulette by Rhianna (watch video here)
Take a breath
Take it deep
‘Calm yourself’, He says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take the gun and count to three
Im sweating now
Moving slow
No time to think. My turn to go
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So, just pull the trigger
Say a prayer to yourself
He says ‘close your eyes, sometimes it helps’
And then I get a scary thought
That he’s here – means he’s never lost
And you can see my heart beating
No, You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must pass this test
So, just pull the trigger
As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say good-bye
But its too late to think of the value of my life
And you can see my heart beating
No, You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving no
Know that I must pass this test
You can see my heart beating
Oh, you can see it through my chest
I’m terrified but I’m not leaving no
Know that I must pass this test
So, just pull the trigger

This is a great song! I haven’t listened to it in a long time, but now it’s stuck in my head 🙂 I’m almost done EVO Nation now. It’s just amazing! If I didn’t need to sleep it would have been done last night. Now when I read, I’m going to imagine Jesse Williams as Adam. 😉

I love this song a lot, too. I started reading through the lyrics but in my mind I was singing along. I’m at work right now so I don’t want to open the video, but I’ll gladly watch it tomorrow.
