Hear Me
Ricky Hil Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling, I ain't gone
I ain't gonna spend another minute while I'm home
Even if you leave, I ain't gonna bleed
I ain't gonna be the only one that's left alive
Even if you hide, and even if I'm high
I ain't gonna be the only one sitting dry
Now, pain is on my side, but it never left my side
If you ever by my side, baby never leave my side

I tell her that I'm going, she said baby where you going?
Going outside with these people, for what
I'm just going for a drive
Being outside made me feel alive, so what

I tell her mama I ain't home
I ain't gonna spend another minute alone
So fuck it, fuck it
And darling I ain't dead
I'm just living by a rhythm in my head

So what? What?

I'm a long way from home now
Don't know what time I'm coming home now
If you ever hear me try to hear me
If you ever hear me try to hear me
I'm a long way from home now
Don't know what time I'm coming home now

If you ever hear me try to hear me
If you ever hear me try to hear me

Darling I ain't gone
I ain't gonna spend another minute alone
I've alone long
I ain't gonna spend another minute not stoned
I hate her when I ain't stoned
That's cause when I feel alone
You the only one that I want
That's cause when I keep on coming down
You're the only one that I want

And if you ain't the only one around
You're still the only one I want
Proven to you

Darlin' I ain't dead
And I ain't gonna make you live by the rhythm in my head
All red, the doors and the walls

I ain't gonna live by the bible or the laws
All dead, the girls and the dolls
I ain't gonna go to school to follow their rules
All said

I'm a long way from home now
Don't know what time I'm coming home now
If you ever hear me try to hear me

If you ever hear me try to hear me
I'm a long way from home now
Don't know what time I'm coming home now
If you ever hear me try to hear me
If you ever hear me try to hear me

Gone for long
Holding on, I'm holding on
Holding on, I'm holding on
Gone for long
Holding on, I'm holding on
Holding on, I'm holding on

Gone for long, gone for long
That's right, that's right
God can you hear me
Picture how you clear enough
Now I say I can see clearly
Gone for long

I'm a long way from home now
Don't know what time I'm coming home now
If you ever hear me try to hear me
If you ever hear me try to hear me
I'm a long way from home now
Don't know what time I'm coming home now

If you ever hear me try to hear me
If you ever hear me try to hear me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ricky Hil's song "Hear Me" speak to the desire to escape from reality and find solace in drugs and partying. The opening lines "Darling, I ain't gone / I ain't gonna spend another minute while I'm home" suggest a desire to leave behind the monotony of everyday life and find something more exciting. Despite any negative consequences, the singer insists that he won't be the only one left behind, showing a willingness to take risks and live life on his own terms.

Throughout the song, the singer grapples with feelings of loneliness and a need to escape reality. He tells his companion that he is "going outside with these people, for what / I'm just going for a drive," indicating that he is searching for something more in life than what is available to him indoors. The repetition of the phrase "I'm a long way from home now / Don't know what time I'm coming home now" underscores this desire to escape and find something new.

The reference to drugs and partying is repeated throughout the song, with the lyrics "I hate her when I ain't stoned / That's 'cause when I feel alone / You the only one that I want / That's 'cause when I keep on coming down / You're the only one that I want" hinting at a reliance on substances and a need for someone to be with during the lows.

Overall, "Hear Me" is a song about the desire to escape and the search for something more in life. The singer is willing to take risks and live life on his own terms, even if it means facing negative consequences. The repetition of the phrase "If you ever hear me, try to hear me" suggests that these desires are not easily communicated or understood by others.

Line by Line Meaning

Darling, I ain't gone
I'm still here and not leaving

I ain't gonna spend another minute while I'm home
I won't waste any more time being idle at home

Even if you leave, I ain't gonna bleed
I won't be affected even if you leave me

I ain't gonna be the only one that's left alive
I won't be the only one surviving in a difficult situation

Even if you hide, and even if I'm high
Even if you're trying to avoid me, and even if I'm under the influence

I ain't gonna be the only one sitting dry
I won't be the only one suffering or struggling

Now, pain is on my side, but it never left my side
I am dealing with pain, but I won't let it consume me

If you ever by my side, baby never leave my side
If you are ever with me, please never leave me

I tell her that I'm going, she said baby where you going?
I inform her I'm leaving, and she asks where I'm headed

Going outside with these people, for what
I'm leaving to be with other people, and she questions the reason

I'm just going for a drive
I'm going for a ride without a specific destination

Being outside made me feel alive, so what
Being outside gave me a sense of being truly alive

I tell her mama I ain't home
I inform my mother that I'm not home

I ain't gonna spend another minute alone
I won't waste any more time being lonely

So fuck it, fuck it
I don't care anymore

And darling I ain't dead
I'm not dead yet

I'm just living by a rhythm in my head
I'm living by my own rules and ideas

I'm a long way from home now
I'm far from home

Don't know what time I'm coming home now
I'm uncertain when I will return home

If you ever hear me try to hear me
If you ever hear me, please listen to me

I've alone long
I've been alone for a long time

I ain't gonna spend another minute not stoned
I won't waste any more time being sober

I hate her when I ain't stoned
I dislike being sober because it makes me feel alone

That's cause when I feel alone
Being sober makes me feel lonely

You the only one that I want
You are the only person I care about

That's cause when I keep on coming down
When the high fades, I feel down

You're the only one that I want
You are the only person I care about

And if you ain't the only one around
If you are not the only person present

You're still the only one I want
You are still the only person I care about

Darlin' I ain't dead
I'm still alive

And I ain't gonna make you live by the rhythm in my head
I won't force you to follow my ways

All red, the doors and the walls
The doors and walls are painted red

I ain't gonna live by the bible or the laws
I won't live by religious or legal rules

All dead, the girls and the dolls
These girls and dolls have no life or enjoyment

I ain't gonna go to school to follow their rules
I won't attend school to follow their guidelines

I'm a long way from home now
I'm far from home

Don't know what time I'm coming home now
I'm uncertain when I will return home

Gone for long, holding on, I'm holding on
I've been away for a while, but I'm hanging on

God can you hear me, picture how you clear enough
I wonder if God can hear me and if I am being understood

Now I say I can see clearly
Now I feel like I can see things more clearly

If you ever hear me try to hear me
Please listen to me if you hear me

Darling, I ain't gone
I ain't gonna spend another minute while I'm home
Even if you leave, I ain't gonna bleed
I ain't gonna be the only one that's left alive
Even if you hide, and even if I'm high

Surprising how fuckers hate on an individual doing their thing, his state of being was his fate, not because he was being rebellious towards his rich father. Much respect to Rick Hil, he's doing his thing, leave the dude alone. He's unique.

@senseip3228

Hey, my name is Justin Gabriel I was reading a post about rappers who came from money when I came across your name when the first song I listened to was Hear me and I could feel you didn't come from money but a wealth of knowledge!!

That's what I've been saying. He's low keyed inspired many other doods who have made it big. Ricky was literally 10 years ahead of the curve with his style. It's not like he's singing or rappin about his money.

@MaxemilianoHernandez

9y↑3

Right? That's what I was thinking about too. I almost think it was before he fell off for the longest time (in rehab I think) because when he came back in pretty sure he came back bald headed, and then grew it out and died it. So if it wasn't before rehab, maybe like right before he died it?

@MaxemilianoHernandez

Wow I suck at grammar. *I'm pretty sure and *and dyed it

@clipviewing

Some people cannot live up to their legacy, and just started living the trash side of life! He may be sick of his life but whatever he's doing to his body now will really end his life in the future. You're not the only one who've got problem in this world - HEAR ME!

@spaceoddity2706

It is rich people in the world who would love to have the life you have. Rather it's for family bonds, being unknown, having friends who are friends, and not there for money, etc. Money isn't the cure for happiness people.

@alexsturla4900

wow, so much hate! I don't see you fools pouring your heart out over a dope beat! Greaf always comes clutch...
you can tell he is influenced by Cobain quite a bit!
