    The meaning of “one more roll.” symbolizes that she tried many times before giving up. Same thing as saying “One more day.”

    the concept of just "rolling" hits me so hard. everyday when i woke up in 8th grade i would just say "one more day" or "just til sunday" it was like torture, but you have to do anything just to not end it all. when miku said "just a little more" i almost started crying. the entire concept of just "rolling" til everything gets better, but it really doesnt instead it gets worse yet you still hope, you just have to keep going. its so bittersweet, and i just want to thank wowaka for this masterpiece. theres no other song thst describes the feeling of just having to keep going for the sake of it better than this song.

    interesting how vague the ending is. ive seen some people say that the person represents rolling girl's depressed state and the end is her giving in to it, and some say that her hugging the person represents rolling girl getting over everything and feeling okay again. i like that when she hugs the person, everything stops. rolling girl stops rolling and everything is calm and quiet

  • @This_is_weird
    @This_is_weird 3 роки тому +5174

    There's a lot of ppl saying the "rolling" here, means the cutting of herself. But I think it might be her continuing on living. Like, she doesn't want to die, she can't see the end clearly yet. Not yet, at least. So she keeps on "rolling" as in, living, or in other words, not dying. It's not time yet. She's hesitant. The boy there is a symbol of her depression. In the end, she finds comfort in this 'friend'. That she has. She was slowly pushed into the end. Thus the ending of the song, it cuts off, she stops 'rolling' and offs herself. She's tired.
    I'm sorry I'm bad at expressing opinions but this is just sad-

    • @PumpkinB77

    Rolling girl remaining in her dreams
    She only wants to stay, it seems
    All the noise slicing layers in her head
    Has her screaming away, has her screaming away
    "No problem", she tells herself today
    But what she says repeats in the grey, oh
    Fail again, failing again
    Fussing over mistakes she thinks would remain
    But then she starts all over again
    Just once more, just once more
    "I will roll again today I know for sure"
    Oh, that girl said what she said
    Playing every word and playing to pretend
    "Are you better now?"
    "No, I don′t know how"
    What's the point of living if pain′s never ending
    Please, just let me stop my breath
    Right now
    Rolling girl is taunted by her gaze
    She can't recall the hue she erased
    Voice's scream, blending all around her head
    Blending over again, blending over again
    "No problem", she breathes another lie
    The pain and guilt she feels amplifies, oh
    "You′ll be fine", is what they all say
    Even when they see me on my way towards my fate
    They′d watch me roll again
    Just once more, just once more
    "Rolling down a hill just like I did before"
    Oh, that girl said, what she said
    Repeating every word and hiding every meaning
    "Are you better now?"
    "No, I don't know how"
    Maybe someday you′ll see the progress I'm doing
    Please, just let me stop my breath
    Not now
    Just once more, just once more
    "I will roll again today I know for sure"
    Oh, that girl said, what she said
    Playing every word and playing to pretend
    "Just once more? No, no more"
    Take my hand and come with me
    It will be okay
    Please, just let me hold your breath for now

    To this day, i still like to think that the ending was Miku finally admitting her depression and accepting help instead of bottling it all up and pretending she's okay and that she can handle everything by herself. At the end the boy helps her realize that she's not alone and that he'll always be there to help her whenever she needs it. I think it's better than the suicide ending considering that when he embraced her she was full of color at the end

    hey, i'm tossing my thoughts to the sea of comments :)
    this song is special to me. i was in a very, very bad spot around 2019-2020, and i was in such a deep depressive state that i was just.. ready to go. i was done.
    i was into vocaloid then- music was my main source of comfort. and one day, i found rolling girl.
    it hit hard. my memory is poor now, but i'm sure there were days i cried while blasting it through my earbuds.
    i always interpreted "mou ikkai" (believe that's how it's pronounced, i dont speak japanese) as "one more time", and i think that was the most important part to me. i took it as "one more day", and that was one of the many things that pushed me through that time.
    coming back to this song, i'm so glad i'm here. i'm glad i'm here to hear it again and i'm glad i stayed. i kept rolling, and i'm so happy i did. i'm not fully better now- i have my rough days, and my dark moods, but i'm here and that is so important.
    i want to thank wowaka for making this song. it pushed me through my dark, dark early teenage years and i at least wanted to say thank you. and hey, if there's another kid out there like me-
    one more time.
    i promise you the clouds will break. they may break and come back, or only let a small bit of light through, but the sun will shine again one day. i promise.
    one more time.
    thank you, wowaka, and thank you to everyone who supported me.
    let's roll :)

    2:14 I love the little guitar riff(?) at this part. It sounds so hopeless, like something just jumped out of your reach. I think it represents how depressed and far away the Rolling Girl really feels...this part always gives me goosebumps.

    Trying my best to explain this:
    The boy in this video is supposed to represent depression.
    1:22 "One more roll. Today too I will roll." Rolling is representing living. "I will live a bit more. I'll keep living today."
    "is it enough yet?" He's asking if she wants to pass already "Not Yet. Because the end is not visible." She wants to keep living until it's her time.
    "I will stop your breath... Now." She wants to get rid of him. She wants to get rid of her depression. The boy smiles, he knows she won't be able to do it, he's still there with her.
    1:51 She's still there, she's still living. She keeps getting more bandages, it's meaning that she keeps getting hurt by going on. She gets hurt the more she keeps "rolling".
    "Rolling Girl's shell of her former self. It will not reach the color on the other side." She keeps rolling but she still can't see the colors = she can't find the happiness.
    2:21 She's seen running. she running away from him. "Hey, I said whaever happens is fine." She tries telling herself, knowing it's not true causing the boy to catch her. 2:29
    When he catches her he wanted to convince her it's time. "One more roll." She insists "You will roll me somehow" She will try to keep on living.
    2:41 "Is it enough yet?" "A little more" she keeps insisting "Pretty soon something will probably be visible" She is sure soon she will finally be able to see the colors
    "I will stop your breath... Now." This time, the boy says it. he pulls her by her throat, she's too powerless to convince him this time. She can be seen crying as he does it, she thought it will be painful and she will regret it. But the boy hugs her, it's then she sees how fast it was and how it caused her to see the colors. "Is it enough yet?" The boy asks again "It's fine" She said, she said it because she finally saw that it will be easier than to keep rolling. "You will probably be tired soon, right?" You will be tired if you don't stop. "I will end your breath... Now." the boy says. The girl then closes her eyes which means she finally agreed, she finally gave up to depression. She's dead now, she stopped rolling.
    Thank you for listening. I hope you all are doing the best. Keep rollling. You will eventually reach the end and it will stop hurting.

    Even if you aren't a vocaloid fan, you have to admit the power of the message of this song. Absolutely beautiful. Anyone who is going through, or has gone through depression knows how scary it is. The rolling I think means going through life trying your best but still getting hurt constantly. You tell yourself to keep trying, but there is another part of you that just wants it to end. It doesn't necessarily mean suicide, it just means giving in. Being alive but not living.

    • @mattiebibb6383
      @mattiebibb6383 2 роки тому +75

      Every day, every hour feels like a roll of the dice. Am I going to feel better? Am I going to want to die again? It feels like an endless loop. Sometimes there's reasons for certain rolls, like forgetting to eat or take medicine, but others are just so unpredictable. I never know what kind of hour I'm going to have. Will I be able to sleep? To eat? Will I ever? Every moment feels like an eternity, and you just have to remind yourself that it's just another roll, that there are plenty more, and that a roll is just a roll. Even though it never feels like "just" a roll. It never feels like just a roll.
      But somehow, over time, you can almost catch a pace with the bad rolls. I have others help me roll all the time. Without them, I think, not only would I be unable to roll, but the rolling would be meaningless.
      If I knew that I could finally stop rolling without hurting anyone else, I would. In a heartbeat.

      Nathan Cabiles- I know you were asking ArtsyLaVerne but I just couldn’t help wanting to answer the question. I myself am not American but I do live in America, maybe it’s because my parents are not exactly rich and from a different country that they pressure me to become the “smart one” or “breadwinner” of the family because I’m the only one getting a proper education. I think it all depends on the person your asking and what background. I don’t think American schools are more strict than other countries, in fact I think they could possibly be more laid back compared to others.

It does make sense that he is supposed to represent Miku's depression, but I really noticed something at 1:40. She tries to make him back off by choking him, but he just stands there and smiles... Honestly that gives me chills seeing that, like it's his way of saying that Miku doesn't really have a chance of true happiness at all.

You can also noticed that the up until the part where he is hugging her there was only black and white, so you can think of it as inside of her busyhead is hallucinating and warping her point of view in reality

      @@david-rr8pi I would not say you are wrong. For the majority of the song, it is shown pretty well that Miku is mentally unstable, and it is very possible that she is imagining the guy just being against her in general. The thing that just throws me off honestly, is the lyrics near the end. Notably the last line, translating to something like "Stop breathing now" or "I'll end your breath now" (It's always different in every video I've seen, really depends on who's translating). That part does makes me think the guy is going against Miku too, but it's all just speculation.

    If you look carefully:
    1:41 - The boy was smiling when the girl choked him. It was the girl saying "I will stop your breath now."
    2:05 - The way how he talked changed from normally to smiling to laughing as if he was provoking her.
    3:06 - I think it was the boy saying "I will stop your breath now" this time.
    I know some may say that he might be her friend or boyfriend trying to be supportive, but I'm more convinced that he represents her depression.
    Based on these highlights, it seems like the boy was enjoying the fact that she was trying hard not to give up, after telling her to give up (just so he can laugh at her failure).
    For the ending, I personally think he stopped her from choking herself and hugged her and said "It's fine. You will probably be tired soon, right? I will stop your breath now" because he sympathies her when she finally gave up in the end. It is like how you would show respect or sorrow to your rival after you won and ended a long lasting war. This applies the same to the guy (or depression) as he was convincing her to give up for so long and he finally succeeded. Before she ends her life, he would comfort her at the last moment since she might even "be tired" from even choking herself. So, instead of her killing herself, she lets the boy kill her (representing the depression was killing her).

    I've been a victim of s/a.
    I've dealt with heavy loss of people I loved.
    I've watched all of my friends turn to drugs and get corrupted by them.
    I've been in relationships that ended horribly, and became abusive.
    I've been told for the past 5 years, "things will get better, I promise."
    I keep trying to push through, I keep trying to carry on, I've nearly lost my battle twice,
    everyone always thinks I'm fine because I "look happy" and talk about how great and beautiful I think I am.
    But they don't know that when i say these things, I'm only repeating the lies I tell myself.
    They don't know how much I struggle.
    They lie and tell me they're trying to get me help but make no active moves toward it.
    Am I just undeserving of help? Am I not worth saving?
    I get that a scientist never likes their first test rat, when they say the experiment fails, but am I that bad of a test rat?
    I'm sorry, what can I do more of to be worthy of your love? I want to be loved like the other, I want to be a favorite, too. Why do you hate me? Why can't I be loved? Why do you yell at me when I cry but hold them when they do, too. Am I the monster you created?

    everytime i hear this song i start crying.
    I relate to this song in so many ways.
    When life started to feel heavy and stressful, I used to survive everyday.
    Life wasn't enjoyable, I thought about death every single day, but I knew I couldnt kill myself. So every time I repeated myself "I cant. I need to stay, I cant go yet" and so, every day, I kept telling me the same thing. One part of me want to let go, the other wants to stay.
    "No problem she mutters"
    I always say "its nothing, dont worry" my boyfriend keeps telling me "you always say that its nothing and then you cry" Idk why I cant express myself. I just dont want to let people know, yk, make them worry. So I just stay silent. And yk smile like everything is okay.
    "Hey, I said whatever happens its fine, A hill road that even invites causing a mistake"
    for me is "hey its fine whatever happens, If I make a mistake that causes an incident." thinking about suicide.
    But its still a thought so I keep going.
    "Is it enough yet?"
    "Not yet"
    "Because the end is not yet visible"
    -
    "is it enogh yet?"
    "A little more"
    "Pretty soon something will probably be visible"
    .
    this says everything.
    When still all the reasons you have are not enough to kill yourself, so you wait. But while you're waiting, more time passes, more you get worse. And you start seeing the end of all.
    I see it. Its a bit far but I'll reach it, one day. Not when i'll get old though.. I planned everything.
    Thats why I love this song.

    The saddest part is that Miku's so broken that she is embracing her depression at the end and finally stops breathing (commits suicide) rather than rolling again (inflicting self harm to calm herself down) every single time when she's tortured. She thinks depression is her only true comfort in a world where she's terribly abused mentally, physically and emotionally, which would free her from this world so she can finally rest in peace.
    RIP Wowaka. You're a true legend. This song is deep and gold and has helped me so much through my depression. I hope the "Rolling Girls" around the world deserve something better in their lives rather than breaking down.
    Thank you for making this song and introducing me to Vocaloid. Vocaloid playlist is the only one which I listen to because it's so catchy and sometimes so sad but relatable.

    In 1:57 she says "She will never reach the colors on the other side", meaning that she'll never be free or in peace, but in the last seconds when she's hugging the guy there is color, meaning that she committed suicide.
    In my perspective, the guy is the representation of Miku's depression.

    Another sad comment passing through.
    I can't believe wowaka is really gone. I grew up VOCALOID and his songs were a big part of my life, they really got me through a lot - this song in particular. So many memories...
    I sang Rolling Girl in my native language at a recording studio for a workshop, I listened to Rolling Girl when I was going through extreme periods of depression and suicidal ideation, I vented my feelings of hopelessness in the comment sections of the old subbed video.
    It wasn't just this song, but when I heard he passed away, this was the one I came to. That's probably what most people did (it /was/ his most popular song), and this comment is probably going to be lost in the swarm of others like it, but I'm so sad - it's not that this piece of my childhood is /gone/, but it'll certainly never be the same, and it's heartbreaking how short his life was, even though he reached so many people's hearts.
    RIP.

    Thoughts Regarding Comments:
    A) It's possible to give in to depression without it necessarily being suicide. Holding/stopping one's breath needn't be physically literal. A full-on mental breakdown is plenty damaging and has permanent effects of its own.
    B) You don't need to be bullied to feel like you don't belong. Not understanding others and not being understood is enough to cause real problems. It's totally possible to feel alone even when surrounded by other people.
    C) I'm seeing comments with the typical narrative of: bullied -> depressed -> self-harm -> suicide. That's a really reductive and stereotypical conception of depression and anxiety. The truth is far more insidious. The idea of rolling along day after day after day and just picking up more bumps and bruises as life goes on rings more true. It's far less dramatic and far more frustrating.
    D) The damage caused by depression and anxiety is usually invisible to others. It is very, very easy to ACT normal in one's day to day dealings with people.
    E) Despite other interpretations, to me the end of the song is saying it's okay to stop trying so hard. Sometimes pushing yourself to roll on like nothing's wrong isn't worth hurting yourself more. Some days you just have to stop and give up and let the depression work itself out. It will take time until you feel like you're capable of rolling again.

    • @angelmarques3124
      @angelmarques3124 3 роки тому +79

      Agreed with your E point. The feeling I got when reading the translation was “this isn’t sustainable” she can’t just keep on rolling ignoring her problems and saying I’m fine. She has to face them and solve them. The way I saw it, she’s trying to ignore her problems acting like they aren’t there hoping they will sort themselves out without actually facing them, and that, ignoring her problems (or rather not facing them), is what’s not sustainable. It’s hurting her to just say “I’m fine” and not acknowledge her situation, and that, I think, is the message of the song. It’s okay to not be okay, but not acknowledging that fact will end up hurting you.
      Edit: it's basically like if you were physically sick and you just ignored it. That sickness would end up killing you. Same thing. Not acknowledging her problems and choosing to ignore them is like ignoring a sickness. You can pretend it's not there, but it is, and while you pretend it does not affect you it's tearing you down bit by bit. Only by Acknowledging you are sick can you get healed; only by acknowledging she has problems and confronting and solving them can she stop their damage.
      Idk, that might be convoluted, but that’s the feeling I got.

    I want to thank Wowaka for writing this song.
    In 8th grade I really was at my lowest. I had no friends and I was in a really bad depressive episode that seemed endless.
    But there was music; there was this song. And when I listened to it, i felt like I was understood, that I was not alone, that someone somewhere else was fighting the same battle as me.
    And the very first time I sang this song loud; I felt like I was finally able to express everything that was hurting me back then. And it was amazing because the lyrics are in Japanese, and none that I knew spoke that language, so for the first time in years, I was able to say it loud, and to know I was not alone, and I was not afraid of hurting people around me by saying how I felt.
    I can't imagine my life without this song, it means so much to me, because this song was my voice when I wasn't able to say how I was feeling.

    ill drop my ramblings about my visage of this song so do feel free to disagree in the coments of this post (btw tw: sh, not EFL, depresion, mentions of suicide):
    as we all know "rolling" is meant to represent "living", so the rolling girl is a living girl by extention. but the way i see this story going is this:
    A girl (that shall be refered as Miku from now on) is facing depresion, and keeps telling herself that one more day rolling will be ok. during the first courus we see the boy that sticks with her through the depresion. on the next verse, we notice that Miku resorted to things such as self harm to push forward for one more day rolling. the second courus begins and we see her pushing through again, as the boy asks "Is it enough yet?" like he is confronting her about the situation, and, in her spiral, Miku pushes him away. as the second courus ends, Miku takes her hands to her neck in an attempt to end it all, but he bursts in, grabing her hands, forcing her to stop it before she dies, as the final courus finaly bursts into a wild world of color and hope as they talk with the words "Is it enough yet?" "It's fine" "You will probably be tired soon, right?" as the song ends with the two holding each other, almost like they are promising to fight the depresion together.
    now onto my closing thoughts on this:
    maybe my visage on this song is more hopefull than most as, well, i belive thats what the song is meant to bring, hope, a hope that you can go for another day rolling, and eventualy come out on top. i like this as it shows that depresion isent a hopeless battle, it shows that you can do it again, **one more time, one more time**.
    to any one reading this, thanks for listening to me ranble on a song
    to the creator, im thankfull for the masterpieces you made, im sad i could not have a talk or listen to your woes, but i say that we keep your memory alive, by keeping this song playing on our souls.
    to any one that needs to hear this, lets roll together for as long as we need to finaly be able to see the color we forgot, ***one more day, one more fight, one more time***

    It's really heartbreaking to really think about this
    Wowaka passed away a few years now and it hit the community HARD. I've never seen so much fanart for a specific artist being made so fast, so many people were touched from his songs given he composed songs about depression which in itself is a bold move to make on his part. After he released Unhappy Refrain he pretty much was going to wrap up with vocaloid given that the community wasn't giving him enough credit for HIS voice
    On the 10 year anniversary of Miku we got another vocaloid song from wowaka called Unknown Mother Goose from my understanding the song was about wowaka coming to terms with his vocaloid career I even heard he basically saw Miku as his mother in the music career, someone that with help you with what your looking for to do but eventually will have you rely on yourself
    To those out there who are hardcore vocaloid fans just remember that the producers make the songs don't forget to give most of your praise for a song to the person who wrote it in the first place wowaka wherever you are, whatever your doing I hope you can rest easy knowing that you made a difference in so many peoples lives and even still continue to so

    i love this song so much, it never gets old. the message of it and how it is portrayed here is realistic. "one more roll" is a way of trying to convince yourself that your almost there, even though you feel yourself losing hope. last week, i had to go home early from school because i almost fainted twice and genuinely felt so drained i couldnt keep my head up at all. that morning, i woke up feeling like shit but i told myself "im almost there, its almost winter break. just a little more". i realized im a human, and humans have limits. i had forced myself to believe i could surpass those limits and just "get over it." depression is a serious thing and so is overworking yourself. always remember to take care of yourself and value how you feel mentally because if you dont soon those mental feelings could become physical. self care is important and its okay to take mental health days

    It's all about how it's framed.

    The moment I clicked this,
    I feel like....
    I was stuck in a loop, a loop between depression and anxiety.
    Until... I can try again,
    In just one more time.
    I gotta say,
    Even though I'm new here in this community of Vocaloid,
    I know that Mr. Wowaka's death hit pretty hard for you guys, and the whole Vocaloid fandom community.
    Now, I don't really know much about Vocaloid, but I guess I wanted to know more about it.
    Why? Because I want to experience something new.
    I keep repeating the same stuff over and over again. But this time,
    I wanted to experience something new for once.
    And that started from Vocaloid.
    A young teenage girl who wanted to listen something new.
    Now, the reason why I clicked this song is because....
    About a few weeks ago,
    My former classmate died of suicide. I guess he had family problems at home.
    And I felt sad and heartbroken.
    And so that's why I clicked this song.
    The moment it started playing,
    The second I knew is that
    this song isn't just a masterpiece.
    It's a message. A message that everyone needed the most.
    I know we feel sad, depressed, and stressed out.
    But maybe....
    If we can try again, for just one more time, then that's how we'll get back up again.
    Besides, Rolling Girl now became my comfort song.
    A song that no one else can relate to.
    To Mr. Wowaka,
    I know you're no longer here, but I think you are the
    one of a kind music producer that Vocaloid ever has.
    Thank you.
    And to my former classmate,
    I know we weren't close that much,
    But if I wanted to talk with you at least, if you trust me to talk about your problems, then you would've been alive today.
    Life is short but,
    Suicide was never the answer.
    Also, enjoy every moment while you're still young.
    There's so much things that we still want to do.
    And....
    I think that's the only thing I want to say.
    In hard times like this,
    We always have our loved ones beside us.
    Even... If it's hard to open up somethin' that's unbearable.
    Anyone can lose their way,
    All you need is the courage to walk on this daunting, hollow path we're crossing.

    A rolling girl: She is in a constant state of unhappiness, and catches herself dreaming often of a world where she’s finally successful but most importantly content. But those are unfortunately just unreachable dreams for our rolling girl; she keeps “rolling” or pushing through life, for the hope that things will get better. She is convinced that no matter how much she wants to give up on this life, she’s not ready to go. And the truth is, our rolling girl isn’t ready to go. She has so many things she wants to do in life, so many people to meet, so many memories to make…but depression doesn’t stop for the dreams of a young girl. Depression doesn’t loosen his firm grip on her heart, he wields it tightly, cracking it, everytime she dared to think “no, I will go on. Because things will get better.”. With every stab he takes at her heart, her strife’s lasting wound grows deeper and deeper. Every time she insists, having no one but to convince but herself, “no. I must go on. Things will get better” she grows more and more tired as she utters this sentence. Every time she utters this sentence to herself, it seems to lose some meaning and credibility, until there is practically none left. Each time she assures herself things will get better she believes it even less. She finds herself in the same position countless times. After depression grimly attacked her very being and left her even more wounded than the last time he did, she became more and more weak, leaving her more vulnerable to depression himself. You see, he has just one goal, to crack her heart to where it is utterly broken and simply cannot beat anymore. He has to leave her so wounded that she starts seeing white specks dancing across her vision, as he holds her hand with a big smirk on his face as she leaves this world. Not because death took her from this world before she was ready to go, but because she willingly gave herself to him because she felt it was her only option with her heart in the hospital.
    Rolling girl can’t let that happen!
    It’s her name; she has to keep going no matter how unhappy she has! She has to keep believing things *will* get better! She has to fight depression and not let him have the satisfaction of being the one to take her out of this world instead of death. She insists to depression that she’s not ready to go…so she runs away from him. She wants to get rid of her depression so badly, she just wants to get rid of the parasite in her heart, trying to suck the life out of her. He just stands there, smirking at her all the way while she attempts to run, knowing she can’t do it. Knowing she can’t get rid of him; she can’t run away from this parasite. At this point, her world’s become so colorless and meaningless. Her heart cracks more with every second, threatening to break at any moment, depression refusing to let go of her any time soon.
    Rolling girl is so fucking tired. She’s tired of continuesly fighting against this man, only for him to come back stronger. She’s sick of telling herself that despite depression’s horrific win streak in the war, he wouldn’t win the war he waged against her. She was sick of telling herself everyday that there was hope despite the fact he emerged from every battle stronger, her weaker. She was sick of depression repeatingly insisting that her time was up, that she was ready to go, when she was anything but!
    But it sure did feel like her time was…
    NO! She couldn’t think like that! She had to keep fighting!
    …But that’s easier said than done. The one thing she kept telling herself, that things would get better, kept getting proven wrong in front of her eyes countless times. That was her only defense against the monstrous man who called himself her depression. And as much as she hated to admit it, that man was more comforting than any friend she had ever had.
    Rolling girl can’t find the strength to repeat her signature affirmation as she crumbles in the arms of her depression. The affirmation she’s been repeating for years, has become so meaningless and devoid of any credibility…A voice keeps screaming inside her to push that demon of a man aside and be a soldier and not surrender to his little war.
    But that voice is becoming less and less loud.
    One day, when her heart was about to break, and her wounds were so severe they were about to send her into the afterlife, depression violently grabbed her by the throat, ignoring her persistent cries. He knows she most likely is too weak to oppose what he’s going to do next. Our rolling girl has become utterly powerless in depression’s grip. She’s not ready to go, she’s not ready to go! Our rolling girl believes without a doubt that leaving this world will be utterly painful and a decision she’d regret as soon as she felt her soul exiting her body. But than, depression does the unthinkable and pulls her into a tight embrace.
    And our rolling girl does the even more unthinkable…
    She doesn’t have enough strength to get out, and doesn’t physically object, just stares at his chest with red, dull eyes. Eyes that have seen herself crumble a million times to this man’s endless tyranny.
    If she doesn’t get out of his arms fast enough, he’ll assume she’s too tired of this world and too wounded to go on and take her out.
    She needs to get out.
    But how can she do that when she’s nothing but an absolute shell of her former self and nothing but a weak soldier with a million wounds? How can she do that when her affirmation seems to be nothing more than a bold faced lie?
    I won’t tell you how this story ends; because this is where all rolling girls have differing endings. Some leave depression’s arms and challenge him to another battle they will lose, while some leave his arms and finally find happiness. But some sadly take off their shoes and engulf themselves in their worst enemy, as he delivers their last hug in his tight embrace, feeling accomplished and satisfied with his opponents’ surrender.
    “Wait, so, do people around rolling girl ever truly understand the struggles of rolling girls and their never ending battle of their positive affirmations and their demonic depression?”
    I’m a rolling girl, I would know.
    It’s not a pretty answer. But I’m a rolling girl, so I have to keep speaking positive affirmations into my mind, so I’ll end my little analysis of our fight against our hope and that horrible man’s injections of despair here.

    So basically Miku's character is a girl in highschool going through depression and who feels like a failure. The meaning behind "rolling" i believe is because shes barely getting by, instead of walking confidently to her dream shes rolling downhill to depression.
    So the boy isnt actually real, his uniform doesnt match hers or the other students, he is actually a manifestation of her depression. He keeps asking her "is it enough/are you done?" Signaling that he wants her to give up but she keeps saying "no 1 more time!" As she isnt ready to give up on her dreams or life but as time goes on she gets weaker and more injured because of her "rolling". Eventually she gives into the guy/her depression and allows him to "stop her breath" meaning suicide. In the last scene you see them hugging but Miku isnt wearing shoes, which in Japan its very common to take off your shoes before jumping off buildings so that someone knows you were there. In the end the rolling girl stopped rolling.

    The beginning of the song starts with a screen turning on, and ends with it turning off. But if you loop the song, it turns on again. The struggle begins again. She rolls one more time. And it hurts, and it's painful, but is it not a better ending to keep going? If you loop the song, she keeps rolling.
    So for a better ending, leave the song on loop.

      Same as Disappearance of Hatsune Miku, but more literal
