He started off performing Horrorcore rap under the name 2iLL which soon-after was changed to Repulse. Eventually, the final name change was Richy Nix which he obtained while reading the book Killshot by Elmore Leonard. He released his first album entitled No Romance which was also written and produced by him. He also released three mixtapes with other local rappers in Detroit during the same time.
He soon became the #1 unsigned artist in Canada on the Myspace Music charts which led to him getting some attention on major radio station 89X (88.7 FM Detroit/Windsor). That gained the attention of Universal Music Group. He had just released his 2nd album called Love (Solo), which combined all the styles and skill gathered in both the hip hop and rock worlds. This was the origination of the smash hit, “In My Head” which placed 8th out of 89 on 89X's Top Songs of 2009 due to its heavy rotation from the beginning of the year. His songs had a great response, and he broke the People’s Choice record on 89X with 21 consecutive wins on December 8, 2008. This gained the attention of management company G&G Entertainment, who managed to work out a deal to terminate a previous indie contract, and got him signed to Universal Republic mid 2009. In 2010, Richy Nix released his 3rd album entitled "Note To Self EP".
After the release of his major label EP, Richy Nix began touring nationwide playing shows with Papa Roach, Saving Abel, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and more. He also played at Bamboozle 2010 in East Rutherford, New Jersey with artists such as Drake, Ke$ha, Paramore, Weezer, MGMT, and more.
He is currently set to play at Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio on May 22, featuring bands such as Bullet For My Valentine, Godsmack, Rise Against, Deftones, Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit, etc.
Senseless
Richy Nix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you move your way around me
I think it's senseless
The way you do this every time
They don't want you to win
They'd rather you drown in all of your sins
You get let down by all of your friends
Yeah, you know this part
When the kid with a frozen heart
Comes throwin' these molotovs
While you're ballin' and callin' the cops
'Cause there ain't no one to stop 'em
So run inside of your houses
Fuckin' duck and hide behind couches
Don't even fuckin' try to come stop us
We're a gang of savage monsters
Every fuckin' time that y'all mocked us
And every fuckin' night that it hunts us
We're comin' together, nothin' could be better
No matter the weather we're comin' to get ya
We're comin' to get you
I think it's senseless
The way you move your way around me
I think it's senseless
The way you do this every time
All my life I've been sayin'
Give it your all through everythin'
All my life I've been sayin'
Give it your all through everythin'
It's worse when it hurts inside
When every word that we heard's a lie
When murder's the verdict I
Will come further to serve you mind
To cure the curse in your eyes
And it might burn at first but I
Will make sure to conserve you life
So quit worryin' about your pride
I'm fuckin' loosin' my mind
Trying to save the sheep that are blind
The wolves are comin' behind you
Don't let them fuckin' surprise you
They try so hard to divide you
But not this time they won't try to
'Cause we're comin' together, nothin' could be better
No matter the weather we're comin' to get ya
We're comin' to get you
We're comin' to get you
I think it's senseless
The way you move your way around me
I think it's senseless
The way you do this every time
All my life I've been sayin'
Give it your all through everythin'
All my life I've been sayin'
Give it your all through everythin'
(All my life)
I've been fightin' just to be happy
I've been fightin' to be myself
(All my life)
I've been fightin' just to be happy
I've been fightin' to be myself
(All my life)
I've been fightin' just to be happy
I've been fightin' to be myself
(All my life)
I've been fightin' just to be happy
I've been fightin' to be myself
(We're comin' to get ya)
We're comin' to get you
I think it's senseless
The way you move your way around me
I think it's senseless
The way you do this every time
All my life I've been sayin'
Give it your all through everythin'
All my life I've been sayin'
Give it your all through everythin'

Line by Line Meaning
I think it's senseless
I believe it's irrational
The way you move your way around me
The way you behave around me
The way you do this every time
Your repetitive actions
They don't want you to win
Others don't want you to succeed
They'd rather you drown in all of your sins
It's preferable for you to fail and suffer the consequences of your bad choices
You get let down by all of your friends
Your friends disappoint you
And all your strength was found from within
You had to rely on your inner strength to overcome obstacles
Yeah, you know this part
You're familiar with this scenario
When the kid with a frozen heart
The emotionally unresponsive kid
Comes throwin' these molotovs
Attacks you with verbal or physical aggression
While you're ballin' and callin' the cops
While you're trying to succeed and ask for help
'Cause there ain't no one to stop 'em
No one is able to prevent their harmful behavior
So run inside of your houses
Protect yourself by hiding inside your home
Fuckin' duck and hide behind couches
Crouch down and seek cover behind furniture
Don't even fuckin' try to come stop us
Don't even make an effort to intervene
We're a gang of savage monsters
We are a group of aggressive and ruthless individuals
Every fuckin' time that y'all mocked us
Every time you ridiculed us
And every fuckin' night that it hunts us
Every night that we are haunted by our problems
We're comin' together, nothin' could be better
We are uniting and nothing is better than that
No matter the weather we're comin' to get ya
We are determined to help you, regardless of the situation
All my life I've been sayin'
Throughout my life, I've been expressing
Give it your all through everythin'
Put forth all your effort in everything you do
It's worse when it hurts inside
It's more difficult when you feel emotional pain
When every word that we heard's a lie
When every statement spoken to us is untrue
When murder's the verdict I
When a violent punishment is suggested
Will come further to serve you mind
I'll go to greater lengths to help you psychologically
To cure the curse in your eyes
To remedy the negative emotion you're feeling
And it might burn at first but I
Initially, it may hurt, but I
Will make sure to conserve you life
I'll make sure to save your life
So quit worryin' about your pride
Stop stressing over hurt feelings
I'm fuckin' loosin' my mind
I'm extremely stressed and overwhelmed
Trying to save the sheep that are blind
Attempting to help those who can't see the truth
The wolves are comin' behind you
The predators are coming after you
Don't let them fuckin' surprise you
Don't allow them to catch you off guard
They try so hard to divide you
They work hard to create conflict and separate you
But not this time they won't try to
This time, they won't attempt to divide us
We're comin' together, nothin' could be better
We are uniting and nothing is better than that
All my life I've been fightin' just to be happy
Throughout my life, I've struggled to find happiness
I've been fightin' to be myself
I've been battling to be genuine
We're comin' to get you
We are coming to help you

I knew this dude had some serious potential by listening to the "Note To Self - EP" and a few off "Light Years". But this track proves my point 100% (at least in my mind). I cannot wait for the album to release! I hope the rest of the tracks are similar to this style of music!

I like it! Nice job Richy. Can't wait to hear more!

Wow. This is refreshing. He mixes rap/rock and tops it off with a little bit of techno perfectly thanks to Celldweller for adding that. I was reading his bio and I truly feel for him. The lyrics on not only this song but others are powerful. What I do like is he doesn't go on about lighting blunts, drinking blah blah blah it just gets old, as others like Hollywood Undead but I do enjoy them as well. I hope he goes further and further. This kid deserves it, many people do go through shit in life and sometimes worse but what he is trying to say is dont give up. I don't care if people say negative shit about my post, I just wanted to give my opinion. Thanks :)
