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.

Call Me Karizma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come out and play 'cause I need a friend
You're so damn close that I feel your breath
You're the only one I have left
Feel you in my bones
Shiver up my spine
You're a master of disguise
Are you real or just a lie
I can feel you in my mind
In my soul
But I love when you jump in
And help me feel something
My blankets are the door
My bed is the coffin
And just as it closes
And I go to lock it
I sing that lullaby you taught me
Monster, monster under my bed
Come out and play 'cause I need a friend
You're so damn close that I feel your breath
You're the only one I have left
Show me where to go
I guess I'm always lost
Now that everyone is gone
You're the one who gives me hope
I was told to be afraid
But around you I feel safe
And you know that
I love when you jump in
You help me feel something
My eyelids are the door
My mind is the coffin
And just as they're closing
You come from the closet
And sing the lullaby you taught me
Monster, monster
Save me, someone I'm crazy
Or maybe something is saying
My days are numbered like babies
I stay in slumber let's face it
I spend my summers in basements
I fucking love when you hate me
I never want you to take me
From my monster, monster
Someone call a doctor, a doctor
I'm fucking off my rocker don't offer to talk when you're not gonna
Stop copping these Oxys to feed me
I'm probably not gonna eat these
But if the problems within me are just the monster your seeing I'm singing
Monster, monster under my bed
Come out and play 'cause I need a friend
You're so damn close that I feel your breath
You're the only one I have left
Monster, monster under my bed
Come out and play 'cause I need a friend
You're so damn close that I feel your breath
You're the only one I have left
The song Monster by Call Me Karizma is about having a relationship with your fears and accepting them as a part of yourself. The monster under the bed represents the singer's inner demons that follow them everywhere they go. The lyrics suggest that the monster is a friend, someone the singer can rely on when they feel lost and alone. The phrase "Come out and play 'cause I need a friend" reflects the singer's loneliness and their desire for companionship. They feel the monster's presence everywhere they go, and it's the only thing that brings them comfort.
The second verse solidifies the relationship between the monster and the singer. They say they were told to be afraid, but the monster makes them feel safe. The lyrics "My eyelids are the door, my mind is the coffin" suggest that the singer puts up a facade of being okay, but the monster is the only one who can see through it. The monster singing them a lullaby is an indication of the comfort and peace that come with finally accepting and befriending their own fears.
In the chorus, the singer calls out to the monster for help, emphasizing their dependence on it. The repetition of "You're the only one I have left" further underlines the fact that the singer has no one else to turn to. The bridge portrays a sense of desperation as the singer calls out for someone to save them, but they're not sure if they're just crazy or if something really is wrong with them. The repeated line "I'm singing" at the end shows that the singer has come to terms with their fears and is now able to sing about them openly.
