The 'I Used To Roll The Dice' meme originates from the opening lyrics of Coldplay's 2008 hit 'Viva La Vida,' but it achieved iconic status through the 2012 Minecraft parody 'Fallen Kingdom' by CaptainSparklez. The song depicts a king who has lost his kingdom, and the visual of the Minecraft king looking over his balcony became a symbol for loss and nostalgia. In meme culture, the lyrics are often used to accompany tragic or ironic 'downfall' stories, ranging from losing a winning streak in a video game to serious life changes. It saw a massive resurgence on platforms like TikTok and YouTube through shitposting and misheard lyrics trends, cementing its place as a cornerstone of internet nostalgia.
