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
Fail!
Rainbow Kitten Surprise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it to be this fake, never thought that I'd be this age and fail so soon.
But we'll settle down out west, in t-shirts from low-class outlets, posters we wish we were and pictures of favorite stages.
Look at the cage I've been caught up in, look at the way I've been brought up, look at the pain I called my God I never wanted it bad enough.
Bury me in some fashion, in something fashionable,
with a procession whose words sound like a song
I used to know but never wrote,
Hardly two feet in the same boat, hardly two keys
on the same note,
if you knew I wish you would've never said so.
Don't go faking it, feeling it, feeling like we never were the realest
shit I don't
see it that way anymore, see a mistake anymore.
Bury me in some fashion in something fashionable,
with dirt and words that sound like a song I used to know
but never wrote, because it was beautiful and predictable like.
All I ever wanted, how'd I ever fail so soon.
There goes all I ever wanted how'd I ever fail so soon.
All I ever wanted, how'd I ever fail so soon.
There goes all I ever wanted how'd I ever fail so soon.
The lyrics to Rainbow Kitten Surprise's song "Fail!" reflect a sense of sadness and disappointment about life not turning out as expected. The opening lines, "Believe me, I never wanted it to be this way, never wanted it to be this fake, never thought that I'd be this age and fail so soon," convey a feeling of regret and frustration at not meeting personal goals or expectations. The lyrics then describe a desire to start anew and escape the current circumstances, settling down out west with symbols of simpler times like t-shirts and posters.
The second verse talks about burying oneself in a fashionable way, almost mocking societal expectations of what death should look like. The words "sound like a song I used to know but never wrote" could represent a missed opportunity for success or artistic expression. The lines "Hardly two feet in the same boat, hardly two keys on the same note, if you knew I wish you would've never said so" suggest a feeling of disconnect, possibly due to someone not understanding or supporting the singer's aspirations.
The chorus repeats the lines "All I ever wanted, how'd I ever fail so soon? There goes all I ever wanted, how'd I ever fail so soon?" conveying a sense of disbelief that life has not turned out as planned. The song's overall tone is one of melancholy reflection on missed opportunities and dreams not fulfilled.

Believe me, I never wanted it to be this way, never wanted it to be this fake, never thought that I'd be this age and fail so soon.
I never intended for things to turn out this way, I had hoped our reality would be authentic, and I never expected to face failure at such a young age.
But we'll settle down out west, in t-shirts from low-class outlets, posters we wish we were and pictures of favorite stages.
We'll embrace a simpler life out West, wear plain clothes from cheap stores, decorate our homes with posters of our idols and snapshots of memorable shows.
Look at the cage I've been caught up in, look at the way I've been brought up, look at the pain I called my God I never wanted it bad enough.
Consider the restrictions I am bound by, the way I was raised, and the desperation I felt. I realize now that I was never desperate enough to succeed.
Bury me in some fashion, in something fashionable, with a procession whose words sound like a song I used to know but never wrote, 'cause it was beautiful and predictable like.
When I pass, lay me to rest in something trendy and stylish, and let my funeral procession have a melody reminiscent of a song I never composed. It was a beautiful tune, but it lacked originality.
Hardly two feet in the same boat, hardly two keys on the same note, if you knew I wish you would've never said so.
We are not in agreement, our values differ. I wish you wouldn't express your divergent perspective because it only complicates our situation.
Don't go faking it, feeling it, feeling like we never were the realest shit I don't see it that way anymore, see a mistake anymore.
Let's not pretend that our connection was perfect or that we were authentic with each other. I don't view it that way anymore; it was a mistake.
All I ever wanted, how'd I ever fail so soon. There goes all I ever wanted how'd I ever fail so soon.
I had one dream in life, but I failed to achieve it quickly. It seems as though it's already slipped through my fingers, and I can't help but wonder how.

Believe me
I never wanted to be this way
Never wanted to be this fake
Never thought that I'd be this age and fail so soon
We'll settle down out west
In t-shirts from low-class outlets
Posters we wish we were
And pictures of favorite stages
Look at the cage I've been caught up in
Look at the way I've been brought up
Look at the pain I called
My god, I never wanted it bad enough
Bury me in some fashion, in something fashionable
With a procession whose words sound like a song I used to know
But never wrote
'Cause it was beautiful and predictable like
Hardly two feet in the same boat
Hardly two keys on the same note
If you knew I wish you would've never said so
Don't go faking it, feeling it
Feeling like we never were the realest shit
I don't see it that way anymore
See a mistake anymore
