Rika are three dudes and one dudette from Vienna / Austria. The band exists since january 2005 but some band members have changed over time. Rika sounds like midwest emo with some post-rock influences. Meandering guitar lines are interrupted by explosive euphoria and die away in spheres of entwined harmonies. Think Mineral, think Appleseed Cast, think Sometree.
After playing a couple of shows, they recorded their first demo cd-r diy in may 2005, which is sold out by now. In september 2006 they did another diy recording session, finishing their s/t full length demo cd-r, which can be downloaded on last.fm.
Since then, Rika have played a good amount of shows in and around Austria.
No Need
Rika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the way I move and walk, when you shouldn't give a... ohh
You're so out of line with the way you spend your time
Asking what is yours vs. mine
When you don't know where I been
What I'm doing who I'm with
You don't know anything bout my life
I got some words for you
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me (oh yeah)
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me
You got your own life
I got my own life
Get on with your life and I'll get on with mine
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me
I don't mean to be rude, but you're spoiling the mood
Feelings mutual and nude{?], hate to call out on this feud
You're so out of line with the way you spend your time
Asking what is yours vs mine
When you don't know where I been
What I'm doing, who I'm with
You don't know anything about my life
Who are you to pick a fight
I got some words for you
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me (oh yeah)
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me
You got your own life
I got my own life
Get on with your life and I'll get on with mine
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me (oh yeah)
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me
You got your own life
I got my own life
Get on with your life and I'll get on with mine
There's no need to be unkind
No need to be unkind
No need to be unkind to me
There's no need
In her song "No Need", Rika addresses a person who is overly fixated on her mannerisms, speech, and style of dressing instead of focusing on themselves. She tells the person that they are crossing the line and should not be concerned with her life or picking a fight with her. Rika advocates for peaceful living in her song and encourages the person to focus on their own life while allowing her to focus on her own as well.
The lyrics of No Need carry a message of living peacefully and minding one's business while staying true to oneself. It speaks to the importance of respecting others' privacy and boundaries while encouraging them to stay in their lane. The song has a catchy pop beat which complements Rika's vocals, making it a fun and relatable song.
