Stand Alone
Ramirez Lyrics

MTM hit em' with the heat
Ramirez uses his record label MTM to deliver a powerful and intense song in Stand Alone.

Sometimes I can't sleep, cause the shit I think got me up
Ramirez expresses how his worries and troubles can keep him up at night, causing him to struggle to fall asleep.

Drown myself in the sadness, that I feel with the help of a pill cup
Ramirez conveys how he uses pills to cope with the overwhelming sadness he experiences.

Long days, long nights, I fight
Ramirez acknowledges how he battles through long and difficult days and nights.

Tryna use up all my might, can't figure out if I'm wrong or right
Ramirez struggles to determine the best course of action when faced with challenging decisions, and must use all of his strength to persevere.

Stuck in the darkness, I cannot find light
Ramirez feels trapped and unable to find hope or positivity in his situation.

Pullin' the rose, straight out the garden, watching it die
Ramirez compares the loss of a loved one to the death of a beautiful rose, withering away before his eyes.

Beauty is pain, but pain is something that's ugly and rotten inside
Ramirez reflects on the idea that beauty, such as the beauty of love, often comes with a price, but that pain can be difficult to bear.

Sit by your bed, feelin' too rough, There's not much to do but sit there and cry
Ramirez describes the overwhelming feeling of sadness and hopelessness he experiences when he is alone in his room.

Rip up your letters that give me The reason, but never the answer to why
Ramirez recalls tearing up letters that give him insight into what went wrong, but still being left without an understanding of why it all happened.

Nooses hang, bodies drain, Find a vein, it's all the same, Carry the pain, I stand alone in the pourin' rain, Shackled in chain, Try your hardest to remain, as well maintain
Ramirez uses these repeating lines as a chorus to express his isolation, feeling trapped and restrained, and struggling to cope with the weight of his emotional pain.

Don't hold me back, just let me go, soon as the river flows, Watch the wind just take me, everything I love, that stayed back home
Ramirez asks to be freed from whatever (or whoever) is holding him back, so that he can move on and leave everything he loves and knows behind.

I can't trust nobody, like I trust myself and trust my chrome, I carry around my problems, inside of this Styrofoam
Ramirez reveals that he struggles to trust anyone else and relies only on his own strength and his gun. He also carries his emotional baggage around with him - represented by the Styrofoam cup he drinks from.

I've been thinking of a way to end it all, right where I lay, Everything I pleaded has been unanswered, so I don't pray
Ramirez admits to having suicidal thoughts and feeling hopeless, with his prayers going unanswered.

I'll be sitting here and hoping that you don't leave, and you'll stay, Fall into my vices, I just watched myself dig my own grave
Ramirez holds onto the hope that someone will stay with him, but recognizes that his self-destructive behavior is leading him down a dangerous path.

All-night to the centerfold, Wishin' I could express, but I don't know, Deep in love in your mind, with a no-show
Ramirez sings about feeling lost and unable to communicate his feelings, particularly when it comes to someone he loves who is not reciprocating his affections.

Don't step outside, let me lay low, Life got me down, in a chokehold, Don't shed no tears, when I reload, No killa will shine on a rainbow, This heart of mine, remain cold
Ramirez implores others to let him be alone, as he feels overwhelmed and oppressed by life. He sees himself as a killer with no hope for redemption, marked by his cold and unyielding heart.
