Riz started writing his deeply personal songs at age 12, and later paid his way through college through touring. During his sophomore year, he had a major break when Mod Sun invited Riz to join him on a 35-date run also featuring blackbear. That tour hugely broadened Riz’s diehard following, many of whom have shown their love and gratitude via tattoos of Call Me Karizma’s logo and lyrics.
Float
Call Me Karizma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling alive while you fight for your life
As you swim back to the beaches
Don't be scared of the tide just prepare for the ride
As you float, you float, you float
I think I'm misunderstood
I think I'm just under good
Tell me what's wrong with that
I think I'm over my head
I think I'm over depressed
I know I overthink
Spending nights over sinks
Throw up 'cause I can't find out why I'm sad
Everything is bad, but it seems fine
No signs of struggle, always neglected
Boy in the bubble can't be affected
Can't get in trouble, can't get seem to get that
If not for trouble, no learning lessons
Trying to be subtle, trying to be gentle
Physically fit but sick in the mental
Fall into the deep end
Feeling alive while you fight for your life
As you swim back to the beaches
Don't be scared of the tide just prepare for the ride
As you float, you float, you float
I think I'm too insecure
I say way too many words
I'm used to feeling bad
Tell me what's wrong with that
I think I'm over my head
All of the water is red
I know I overthink
Scared that I'll go insane
Throw up 'cause I can't find out why I'm sad
Everything's bad, nothing seems fine
Just signs of struggle, always contested
Boy in the bubble, popped in a second
Always in trouble, can't seem to get that
If not for trouble, no learning lessons
They like to judge you, they like to mend you
They don't know anything that you've been through
Fall into the deep end
Feeling alive while you fight for your life
As you swim back to the beaches
Don't be scared of the tide just prepare for the ride
As you float, you float, you float
You float, you float, you float

Parole en français:
Tomber dans le grand bain
Se sentir vivant tout en se battant pour sa vie
En rentrant à la nage sur les plages
N'ayez pas peur de la marée, mais préparez-vous à la balade
Comme vous flottez, vous flottez, vous flottez
Je crois que je suis incompris
Je pense que je suis juste en dessous d’être bon
Je pense que je ne suis pas si mauvais
Dites-moi quel est le problème
Je pense que je suis dépassé
Je crois que je suis trop déprimé
Je sais que je réfléchis trop
Passer des nuits sur des éviers
Je vomis parce que je ne peux pas savoir pourquoi je suis triste
Tout va mal, mais ça semble aller
Aucun signe de lutte, toujours négligé
Le garçon dans la bulle ne peut pas être affecté
On ne peut pas avoir d'ennuis, on ne peut pas avoir l'air d'avoir ça
Si ce n'est pas pour les ennuis, pas de leçons à tirer
Essayer d'être subtil, essayer d'être doux
En bonne santé physique, mais malade dans le mental
Tomber dans le grand bain
Se sentir vivant tout en se battant pour sa vie
En rentrant à la nage sur les plages
N'ayez pas peur de la marée, mais préparez-vous à la balade
Comme vous flottez, vous flottez, vous flottez
Je pense que je suis trop insécure
Je dis beaucoup trop de mots
Je suis habitué à me sentir mal
Dites-moi quel est le problème
Je pense que je suis dépassé
Toute l'eau est rouge
Je sais que je réfléchis trop
Peur de devenir fou
Je vomis parce que je ne peux pas savoir pourquoi je suis triste
Tout est mauvais, rien ne semble aller bien
Juste des signes de lutte, toujours contestés
Un garçon dans la bulle, qui a explosé en une seconde
Toujours en difficulté, ne semble pas pouvoir l'obtenir
Si ce n'est pas pour les ennuis, pas de leçons à tirer
Ils aiment vous juger, ils aiment vous réparer
Ils ne savent rien de ce que vous avez vécu
Tomber dans le grand bain
Se sentir vivant tout en se battant pour sa vie
En rentrant à la nage sur les plages
N'ayez pas peur de la marée, mais préparez-vous à la balade
Comme vous flottez, vous flottez, vous flottez
Vous flottez, vous flottez, vous flottez.

This song is how I've been feeling lately, ever since my dad passed away suddenly on June 13 of this year. I'm currently 17 years old, I feel like I'm not even really here, not present, here but not aware of what's going on around me. I saw my dad in the casket, but It felt so surreal, and I was crying, but I couldn't understand why. I didn't have the best relationship with my dad, I was adopted into my family, and even so I felt always alienated from them by my dad. The night when my dad passed away, he asked me if I wanted to go out on a walk with him and my mom, I said no thanks, because I was busy with friends online. Now I wish I had gone, because he passed away later that night. He wasn't here to see me on my 16th Anniversary of my adoption, he won't see me turn 18, or become a woman either. He won't be there to walk me down the aisle, and I'll never get to let him hold my kids. I know whoever's reading this is a stranger, but I just want you all to know, you're loved, and you're missed by someone at all times.
I Love you dad, I can't wait to see you again.
