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 Rizโs diehard following, many of whom have shown their love and gratitude via tattoos of Call Me Karizmaโs logo and lyrics.
Lover
Call Me Karizma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Close the coffin now
Sick of talking, ya
You make me feel like I'm just another lover
But I ain't in lover with you
Making out in your car
After school by the park
Guess your home before dark
If your dad doesn't know
Then we're good on the low
Tell your bud, it's a phase
Tell your friends, that we're bros
Heartbreaker, you know that
And I'm like: Darthvaders soul is black
If you want me, you won't look back
You got it, got it, got it
Are you all talk or will you act?
Got me so dead when you walk past
Digging so deep under the grass
I promise, promise, promise that
You make me feel like I'm six feet under
Close the coffin now
Sick of talking, ya
You make me feel like I'm just another lover
But I ain't in lover with you
You make me feel like I'm six feet under
Close the coffin now
Sick of talking, ya
You make me feel like I'm just another lover
But I ain't in lover with you
All I want is the taste
Of your lips on my tongue
You're the buzz that I need
Itยดs a drug, you're the plug
You're the bitch, that I hate
When I'm home and it's late
When in bed and you ain't
Feeling dead in my grave
Grim reaper, you are though
Better dig deeper, make that hole
All your past lovers hate me so
Get on it, on it, on it
Got me just falling dominoes
Leaving me scarred like Papa Roach
You've been, Mom said you gotta go
But I can't seem to stop it as
You make me feel like I'm six feet under
Close the coffin now
Sick of talking; ya
You make me feel like I'm just another lover
But I ain't in lover with you
You make me feel like I'm six feet under
Close the coffin now
Sick of talking; ya
You make me feel like I'm just another lover
But I ain't in lover with you
Ou la la, Ou la la
Ya, ou la la
I ain't a lover
Ou la la, Ou la la
Ya, I ain't in lover with you
You make me feel, you make me feel
Make feel under, un- under
You make me feel, you make me feel
Make feel under, un- under
You make me feel like I'm six feet under
Close the coffin now
Sick of talking, ya
You make me feel like I'm just another lover
But I ain't in lover with you
The song "Lover" by Call Me Karizma is a powerful track that explores the complicated emotions that come with love and attraction, especially when they are unrequited or one-sided. The opening lines, "You make me feel like I'm six feet under, Close the coffin now, Sick of talking," evoke feelings of suffocation, being overwhelmed, or even buried alive by the intensity of one's emotions. The singer is frustrated with their situation and seems to be at a loss for words, as they are "sick of talking" and feeling like they are "just another lover" who is not truly seen or appreciated by the object of their desire. However, despite the pain and confusion, the singer asserts their independence and self-worth by stating, "But I ain't in lover with you" - meaning they will not settle for being just another fling or a temporary fix for someone's ego boost.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's experiences, specifically the secrecy and shame that often accompany teenage relationships. The lines "Making out in your car, After school by the park, Hope your Mom doesn't call, Guess you're home before dark," illustrate the excitement and danger of young love, as well as the fear of getting caught or facing disapproval from parents or peers. The singer tries to downplay their feelings by saying "it's a phase" and "we're bros," but deep down, they know they want more than just a casual fling. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's frustration with feeling buried alive or overshadowed by someone who doesn't value them as they should.
Overall, "Lover" is a relatable and raw depiction of the ups and downs of romantic entanglements, especially ones that leave us feeling drained, unfulfilled, or even taken advantage of. Call Me Karizma's lyrics capture the pain and ambiguity of these situations, while also reminding us of our own agency and resilience in the face of heartbreak.

You make me feel like I'm six feet under
Close the coffin, I'm sick of talking, yeah
You make me feel like I'm just another lover
But I ain't in lover with you
[Verse 1]
Making out in your car
After school by the park
Hope your mom doesn't call
Gets you home before dark
If your dad doesn't know

Tell your friends that we're bros
Heartbreaker, you know that
I'm like Darth Vader, soul is black
If you want me you won't look back
You got it, got it, got it, are you
All talk or will you act?
Got me so dead when you walk past
Digging so deep under the grass
I promise, promise, promise that
