RKS was formed in early 2013 when the first two members, Ela Melo and Darrick "Bozzy" Keller, decided to begin writing and composing music together. What started out as just two college students with acoustic guitars, would soon turn into a full band with a uniquely controversial name.
After recording RKS's first EP "Mary" in an old dorm room on the campus of Appalachian State University, the duo decided to take it up a notch by adding more members and instruments to the band. Over the next year the group widely expanded in size and sound by adding three more members: Ethan Goodpaster (Electric Guitar), Jess Haney (Drums), and Charlie Holt (Bass). In that year, RKS independently released their first album "Seven" (Which was later re-released in combination with the band's first EP as a joint album titled "Seven + Mary"). The title song, "Seven" has been featured in many places on the web including in the very popular podcast by IGN, Podcast Beyond! The song "Devil Like Me" and its music video earned the band a spot in VH1's "Make A Band Famous" contest where they made it to the final 24 out of thousands of artists from across the US.
The group's main interest is producing a quality, unique, and fresh sound for all music lovers to listen to and enjoy. Their new album "RKS! Live from Athens, Georgia" is now available on iTunes & Spotify
Cocaine Jesus
Rainbow Kitten Surprise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jesus, Mary Magdalene you are, are you okay?
Sitting by the well, Jill, your falling down the hill, Jack
And everybody laughed, Don't you pray? Don't you pray?
To a Cocaine Jesus in a black four-seater,
got a man, don't need him, but you wait
Call me when you want, or just call me when you need it
High won't hold, won't hold, and I have no more, than all you left of me
I have, I have, I have no more, than all you leave
High as hell, feeling fine, nothing bad but nothing kind
Not a word from me, at least nothing you would mind
In my head, in my head I get lonely sometimes
Feeling fine, coming down, never back cause we're never out
You'll never call the cops again, I'll never call her mine
In my head, in my head, I get lonely sometimes
When you find an old picture of us, and you clear away the dust
I hope you miss me sometimes
When you see a frame that reminds you of me, would you remember the times,
oh the times that we believed
In a Cocaine Jesus in a black four-seater,
got a man, don't need him, but you wait
Call me when you want, or just call me when you need it
If you only ever need it for the day
High won't hold, won't hold, and I have no more, than all you left of me
I have, I have, I have no more, than all you leave
I'm nothing more than a page unwritten on the pavement, blowing in the wind
You win a lot, and lose just a little bit more than you gained in the end
God, I wish that I, was better than I am, but no luck, no love, no Gospel I could understand
I'm nothing that ever wanted to lean on, yea, but even then
When you find an old picture of us, and you clear away the dust
I hope you miss me sometimes
When you see a frame that reminds you of me, would you remember the times,
oh the times that we believed
In a Cocaine Jesus in a black four-seater,
got a man, don't need him, but you wait
Call me when you want, or just call me when you need it
If you only ever need it for the day, today
I'm just a page unwritten on the pavement, you needed 'til you left
But I'm more than a need or a thing you believe or a word that you leave unsaid
The lyrics of Cocaine Jesus by Rainbow Kitten Surprise are open to interpretation, but the song seems to discuss a person seeking salvation or comfort in a higher power or substance. The opening lines suggest that the person is struggling and seeking validation from others, asking if they are okay. The references to Jesus and Mary Magdalene imply that the person is searching for redemption, but they find it in the form of a "Cocaine Jesus." The person is waiting for this substance or entity to provide them with the relief they need, whether it be a temporary high or a sense of fulfillment. The lyrics also mention "you got a man, don't need him," implying that the person is looking for something beyond a human connection.
The chorus implies that the person is aware that the high won't hold, and they only need it for a temporary escape. The lines "High as hell, feeling fine, nothing bad but nothing kind" suggest that the person is enjoying the temporary release from their struggles, but they also know that it is not a permanent solution. The verse that follows implies that the person has accepted their place in the world, feeling lonely at times but also recognizing that they will never go back to the way things were. The lyrics suggest that even though the person has moved on from the need for something or someone, they still hope to be remembered.

my older brother was in jail and he called
one day to ask me to play a song and he
requested this one,we sat in silence while I
put my speaker full blast and listened,after
he said it's a pretty dope song right and I
agreed , In 2019 he committed suicide and as
I sat in my room crying when I got the news I
remembered when he asked me to play this
for him, in my grief this song brought a bit
closer to my brother and after 2 years I still
come back to listen to this , RIP Shane
