Lyric discussion by Olivia123 

I think it's a metaphor. Russian Roulette is like the relationship she is in. She's saying how she has to get out before it's too late... 'pull the trigger'

I saw a quote from Rihanna about what the song means but I can't find it!

A woman that has been abused in her life can feel what she means with this song. This is my feeling at least. If I pulled the trigger, the gun would not be aimed at me, but at him... there is so much hate in you, when a guy beats the hell out of you and you find yourself in hospital!! Rihanna went through that and this song sounds like a metaphorical testimony of this experience.
