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.
Samurai
Call Me Karizma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Atom bomb
You’re on the run, baby
But you cannot hide
You daydream of my homicide
You cut my heart, baby, like a samurai
I have sex to block the rage
You have sex to feel the pain
We’re opposites
The pit inside your soul is fucking bottomless
(and)
Kill me slow
I wanna feel it
Blade so sharp, can cut steel with it
Blood runs red
It’s romantic
Left a scar now i’m branded
You murder me
Atom bomb
You’re on the run, baby
But you cannot hide
You daydream of my homicide
You cut my heart, baby, like a samurai
You murder me
Atom bomb
You’re on the run, baby
But you cannot hide
You daydream of my homicide
You cut my heart, baby, like a samurai
You want it, you got it
You hurt me, i’m dying
Look what you started
You love to be violent
Heart on the table
It’s turning black
Left me for dead and you ain’t turning back
Kill me slow
I wanna feel it
Blade so sharp, can cut steel with it
Blood runs red
It’s romantic
Left a scar now i’m branded
You murder me
Atom bomb
You’re on the run, baby
But you cannot hide
You daydream of my homicide
You cut my heart, baby, like a samurai
You murder me
Atom bomb
You’re on the run, baby
But you cannot hide
You daydream of my homicide
You cut my heart, baby, like a samurai
Samurai
You cut my heart, baby, like a samurai
The lyrics of Call Me Karizma's song "Samurai" depict a toxic and destructive relationship. The opening lines, "You murder me, atom bomb," suggest that the singer feels emotionally and mentally harmed by their partner. The comparison to an atom bomb implies that the pain inflicted is overwhelming and devastating.
The next lines, "You’re on the run, baby, but you cannot hide," indicate that the partner is trying to escape the consequences of their actions but ultimately cannot escape the guilt or the singer's awareness. The following reference to daydreaming about the singer's homicide suggests that the partner may harbor violent thoughts or desires towards them. The comparison of the partner's actions to that of a samurai, known for their skill in cutting through enemies, portrays the partner's ability to inflict emotional pain with precision.
The third paragraph highlights the stark contrast between the two individuals in the relationship. The singer seeks sexual intimacy as a means to numb or suppress their anger, while the partner engages in sex to feel pain, potentially reflecting a desire for self-punishment. The line "We’re not the same, we’re opposites" underscores the fundamental differences between the two. Additionally, the use of the metaphor "The pit inside your soul is fucking bottomless" suggests that the partner holds a deep emptiness within them, which drives their destructive behavior.
In the final paragraph, the repetition of the line "Kill me slow, I wanna feel it" implies that the singer is almost addicted to the pain caused by their partner, possibly masochistic in nature. The imagery of a sharp blade that can cut through steel is symbolic of the partner's ability to inflict deep emotional wounds. The mention of blood running red and the adjective "romantic" suggest that the violence in their relationship has become twisted into a distorted form of intimacy. The singer's reference to themselves having been branded by the partner's actions conveys a lasting emotional scar that continues to affect them.
Overall, "Samurai" delves into the dark dynamics of a harmful relationship, where one person inflicts emotional pain while the other becomes almost addicted to the suffering. The lyrics explore themes of violence, manipulation, and codependency, portraying a toxic partnership filled with pain and longing.
