What is the meaning of Russian Roulette by Rihanna?

Please help! I can't figure out the meaning! Here are the lyrics:

-Russian Roulette, Rihanna-

Uh, Uh Take a breath Take a deep Calm yourself He says to me If you play You play for keeps Take the gun And count to three I'm sweating now Moving slow No time to think My turn to go [chorus] And you can see my heart beating You can see it trought my chest And i'm terrified but i'm not leaving I know that I must past 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 is here Means he is never lost [chorus] You can see my heart beating No you can see it trought my chest That i'm terrified but i'm not leaving Know that I must past this test So just pull the trigger ... As my life flashes before my eyes... im wondering will i ever see another sunrise So many won't get the chance to say goodbye But it's too late to think of the value of my life [chorus] x2 And you can see my heart beating you can see it trought my chest That i'm terrified but i'm not leaving (oh) Know that I must past this test So just pull the trigger....(boom)

    Rihanna is taking a very life-threatening chance with the man in the song by playing Russian roulette with him. Clearly the man in the song doesn't care about her life by making her play the game although she says she is "not leaving." It is a metaphor for taking a risk in a relationship that can possibly ruin your life emotionally and physically. After her unfortunate incident the song is a hindsight understanding of her relationship with Chris Brown where she in actually risked her life in staying with him. She must have contemplated death that night of the brutal incident and this is the song reflecting on those events and the person she was with.

    think about the actual game of russian roulette when listening to this song. It's a HUGE metaphor for her getting over her fears. By pulling the trigger to her head she is showing that even though it is a very difficult task since she doesn't know if the roulette is going to kill her or is it going to allow her to continue to live. There is only one way to know if you are going to live and that is by pulling the trigger of the revolver. If she walks away from the game, instead of playing then it is a forfeit and you lose dignity, money, etc.

    So she is facing her fears head on..

    Hope you understood that ;)

    LOVE THIS NEW JAM. You can listen to it in good quality in a few different videos on YouTube. Here's the lyrics according to a lyrics site, and they are correct: Take a breath, take it deep Calm yourself, he says to me If you play, you play for keeps Take a gun, and count to three I’m 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 And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving Know that I must 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 You can see it through my chest And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving Know that I must 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 goodbye But it’s too late too pick up the value of my life And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving Know that I must must pass this test So just pull the trigger

    I think the beauty of a song is finding the meaning of the song in your own life. For me this song talks about having to risk my life to be able to survive. Also how great it is to see a new sunrise and the future that lies ahead. This song was the most powerful song I listened to on my South Pole expedition.

    Think she wants her relationship back with the guy but she's scared and she thinks that can he trust the guy or not

    Maybe she's talking about kris brown

    :D

    she tries to trust the guy and take the change, all though she is scared. and then he shot her so he was not trustworthy or something like that.
