Rooftops

Marshmello's song 'Rooftops' delves into the intense and often tumultuous nature of love. The repeated imagery of 'screaming from the rooftops' suggests a need to express overwhelming emotions, whether they are joy, pain, or frustration. This act of screaming symbolizes a release, a way to cope with the intensity of the feelings that the relationship brings. The rooftop, a high and open space, represents a place where one can be heard, emphasizing the desire for acknowledgment and understanding in the relationship.

The lyrics also describe the love as a 'roundabout,' a metaphor for the cyclical and repetitive nature of the relationship. This suggests that the couple is stuck in a loop, experiencing the same highs and lows repeatedly without finding a resolution. The roundabout metaphor highlights the confusion and lack of direction, as roundabouts often lead one back to the starting point, symbolizing the feeling of being trapped in an endless cycle of emotional turmoil.

The phrase 'you really killing me' underscores the emotional toll that the relationship is taking on the narrator. Despite the love they share, it is evident that the relationship is causing significant distress. This juxtaposition of love and pain is a common theme in many of Marshmello's songs, reflecting the complexity of human emotions and relationships. The repetition of the lines throughout the song reinforces the persistent and unchanging nature of these feelings, making the listener feel the weight of the emotional struggle.
