1) Ramsey (born Rebecca Fisher in Las Vegas, US) is a Los Angeles-based indie electronic artist, writer, producer in the style of Glass Animals, Portishead, and Phantogram. She began releasing music on her Soundcloud account in January 2016, and in just over four months, amassed over 2 million plays, and been featured in over 60 well-known blogs such as Perez Hilton, Huffington Post and AXS.com. Her self-titled debut EP was released in 2017.

Ramsey arrived in Los Angeles after a stint in Oregon working on her college pre-recs (she graduated high school when she was 16) and waiting tables. She didn’t know anyone in town, and her first job was stocking shelves at the Vons on Sunset and Hillhurst. (“It was horrible.”) She used the mental free time to dream up song lyrics.

She had always been into singing and performing, putting on shows for her family as a child, performing in the school choir and playing in bands during high school. A friend had uploaded a copy of Ableton onto her computer, and when she wasn’t at Vons she was in her WeHo bedroom making music. She’d hole up for 16 hours a day, sometimes forgetting to eat. She soon made friends, quit the grocery store, moved to Hancock Park, earned a better-paying gig writing one-off songs at 500 bucks a pop for a YouTube performer, and got connected to a social media manager who believed in her music.

Incorporating heavy electronic elements, her songs are like digital séances, outfitted with quietly stripped-down moments and heavy with mood. With a laugh, she says she suspects it all might be a bit much for her parents. The first track she released, the pulsing incantation “Wrong Heart,” came out eight months ago and has nearly 300,000 SoundCloud plays, although the warm internet welcome and a rash of publicity hasn't totally fortified her confidence.

While Ramsey produces all of the beats and every component of the music herself, live she focuses on singing and performing, playing with a DJ and a drummer. The stage is her happy place, where she gets the biggest thrill and all the best feelings. Her hope is that the future holds unlimited opportunities to inhabit this territory. She’s not sure what else she would do with her life.

2am
Ramsey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call all my demons I ache for their love
But none of these people know what I've done
I find hard to get close or to look in their eyes
Because there's so many secrets hidden in mine

At night I discover there's a method to this
Living my life under cover I become the abyss
Inside a dark empty prison I learn how to love

And I am taught how to see beauty in lust

He won't let me come down
My love is sold out
It's 2am now run the red lights
I'm fucked up going crazy
Too young to save me
Born in the sin I deliver the night

Fall on my weapon he aches for its touch
Like all of the others who pay to feel loved
It's like a drug when I'm empty selling my life
‘Cause when he needs me in his I feel good about mine

At night I discover there's a method to me
Use me like a doll and call me your queen
I provide you the power that you need to be free
But never forget that you answer to me

He won't let me come down
My love is sold out
It's 2am now run the red lights
I'm fucked up going crazy

Too young to save me
Born in the sin I deliver the night

Overall Meaning

The overall theme of Ramsey's song "2am" seems to revolve around a dark and tumultuous relationship with oneself and others. The singer longs for the company of their inner demons, seeking their love and acceptance. However, they hint at a past filled with secrets that prevent them from getting too close to others or opening up fully to them. This is further emphasized in the line "Because there's so many secrets hidden in mine."

Throughout the song, the singer seems to embrace their dark side, comparing themselves to an abyss and describing how they've learned to love and find beauty in lust. They also mention feeling like a "doll" or object that can be used for someone else's pleasure, but still maintain a sense of control and power over the situation.

The chorus of the song - "He won't let me come down, My love is sold out, It's 2am now run the red lights, I'm fucked up going crazy, Too young to save me, Born in the sin I deliver the night" - seems to symbolize the singer's desperation and desire for escape from their own demons and the life they've constructed for themselves. They're intoxicated and lost, unable to be saved but still trying to find some sort of salvation in the night.

Overall, "2am" by Ramsey is a haunting and introspective exploration of the darker aspects of the human psyche and the relationships we form with ourselves and others.
