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
Shameful Company
Rainbow Kitten Surprise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
heavy to hold and cold in the hands
that you let me to warm in the sun
Was I born alone?
Have I recently developed a propensity to push people away?
Am I okay with that?
she lit a fire in your head, standing with a flower in her hair,
and alcohol plus information often makes it, complicated.
So you'll hate me, make love, lately I've spent my days in daydreams waking you, me, saving every heartbeat, word, line that you ever gave to me, cause fair is a weather condition.
If you're cold, go inside,
if you're tired, go to sleep,
if you're weak, come to me, and find shameful company.
If you're cold, go inside,
if you're tired, go to sleep,
if you're weak, come to me, and find shameful company.
We were young, dumb, taking our chance and making romance
and breaking our promises
Trying to be and failing miserably,
but am I too late, or hearts to your spades?
If I don't suit you, then what do you want from me?
So we're not written in the stars but I'm okay with that,
I'm okay with anything.
Take it any way you want to, she lit a fire in your head, standing with a flower in her hair, and alcohol plus information often makes it, complicated.
So you'll hate me, make love, lately I've spent my days in daydreams waking you, me, saving every heartbeat, word, line that you ever gave to me, cause fair is a weather condition.
If you're cold, go inside, if you're tired, go to sleep, if you're weak, come to me, and find shameful company.
If you're cold, go inside, if you're tired, go to sleep, if you're weak, come to me, and find shameful company.
The lyrics of "Shameful Company" are complex and introspective, with the powerful theme of self-reflection and the struggle to connect with others. The opening lines, "Was I born a stone? / Heavy to hold and cold in the hands / That you let me to warm in the sun" suggest a sense of detachment and isolation from the world. The following lines convey a deep sense of self-doubt and questioning, with the questions "Have I recently developed a propensity to push people away? Am I okay with that?" bringing out a sense of vulnerability and struggle to connect with others.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is wrestling with conflicted feelings about a romantic relationship. The lines "So you'll hate me, make love, lately I've spent my days in daydreams waking you, me, saving every heartbeat, word, line that you ever gave to me" suggest a sense of longing and regret, as the singer reflects on a relationship that has not turned out the way they had hoped. The repeated refrain "If you're cold, go inside, if you're tired, go to sleep, if you're weak, come to me and find shameful company" echoes the idea that we all struggle and feel vulnerable at times, and that sharing those struggles with others can bring a sense of comfort and connection.
Overall, Rainbow Kitten Surprise's "Shameful Company" is a powerful and emotionally resonant song that speaks to the universal human experience of loneliness, self-doubt, and the struggle to connect with others.
Line by Line Meaning
Was I born a stone?
Am I naturally unfeeling and detached?
heavy to hold and cold in the hands
Do I burden and reject those who try to connect with me?
that you let me to warm in the sun
But have you given me a chance to change and grow?
Was I born alone?
Have I always been inclined to push people away?
Have I recently developed a propensity to push people away?
Or is this a newly ingrained habit?
Am I okay with that?
And am I content with the isolation I create for myself?
Take it any way you want to,
Interpret it how you will,
she lit a fire in your head, standing with a flower in her hair,
That girl you met, with a free spirit and carefree attitude,
and alcohol plus information often makes it, complicated.
But when mixed with booze and secrets, things get messy.
So you'll hate me, make love,
We'll argue and make up,
lately I've spent my days in daydreams waking you, me,
I've been fantasizing about us and reliving our moments,
saving every heartbeat, word, line that you ever gave to me,
Recording and cherishing every intimate moment we shared,
cause fair is a weather condition.
Because life is unpredictable, and change is inevitable.
If you're cold, go inside,
If you're feeling vulnerable,
if you're tired, go to sleep,
If you're feeling exhausted,
if you're weak, come to me, and find shameful company.
Come to me, and let's find comfort in our mutual inadequacies.
We were young, dumb, taking our chance and making romance
We were foolish and spontaneous, seizing the moment to explore love
and breaking our promises
Only to later disappoint each other by not living up to our commitments.
Trying to be and failing miserably,
Attempting to be something we weren't, and failing spectacularly.
but am I too late, or hearts to your spades?
Is it too late for us to reconcile, or are we just playing different hands?
If I don't suit you, then what do you want from me?
If I'm not the one for you, then what will fulfill you?
So we're not written in the stars but I'm okay with that,
We don't have a predetermined fate, but I'm alright with that.
I'm okay with anything.
I'm ready to face anything that comes our way.

If you're sad and drunk there is no competition in what you should be listening to besides this band.
@bloodyhelice4284
Old cossack folk music such as lyubo bratsy lyubo or when we were at war, sadistik, and brown bird's music (rip) all compete evenly with this. Just my opinion. This band kicks ass while drinking but i found them during a psybocilin trip when my girlfriend showed me a song, been in love since.
@stubz3208
@@bloodyhelice4284 I imagine it's probably epic while on a trip
@bloodyhelice4284
@@stubz3208 well man i haven't personally listened to any interpretations of the song by other people but I'll tell you, "devil in me" was the first song i heard at the peak of my trip. My interpretation is the devil lending you his body and demanding you leave it ready for him once you begin to relate. Hence the blur of lines "whiskey on the bed" and "whiskey on the ledge", trying to see what you prefer and depending on which just use your own body. Practically mocking people for singing along mindlessly. I also felt cocaine jesus was a direct reference as we all want to be him (the devil). As in that song he keeps reminding you he "has all that you left me". Or from the devil in me "shake me all out when you're done". To top it off the line in "alls well that ends well" saying "clocks made god from the monsters in my head" show that the devil, Jesus, or who you look up to all fear what they cannot control (or what is considered the most subjective thing to interpret), time. Time is often a bargaining factor in these songs, thus i like to relate them.
@bloodyhelice4284
@@stubz3208 I'll also add i believe the lyrics are written by a truthfully empathic person who doesn't particularly write a song from one point of view, but its up to you to decide who's speaking through the singing. Perhaps that trip left me crazy, but god damn these guys are something else.
@bloodyhelice4284
Well since you mention drinking(7th beer after a damn long shift). My thoughts on this song are much more personal and I'm only really now breaking it down. But in the first 6 lines i could only answer the one of pushing people away with "yes". After that it turns into trying to love the opposite.
Which im just thinking is a great way to mislead us who were raised good but still struggle with understanding other people. If you keep answering "no" than is this song about you? I really don't know but it keeps the mind jogging.
@carleymacariola1303
Every song from this band just slaps. I love it. They're one of the rare ones. Been listening for a month now and it literally changed my life.
