The lyrics to Rikets's song Blister are characterized by its raw and intense emotion, which is rooted in frustration and anger. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer expressing his dissatisfaction with the constant touching from someone who tries to control him. The phrase "Everyones the same all master fate whos to blame, YOU DO!" highlights the helplessness and resentment being felt towards the person who is causing the pain. The chorus, which repeats the line "Blister, it's like a blister," adds to the desperation and agony being felt. The second verse expresses a sense of disgust towards this person, with the skin being used as a metaphor for their presence in the singer's life. The repetition of "your skin makes me crawl, your skin leaves a stain on my face" emphasizes the distaste felt towards them.
The bridge of the song is a direct message to the person causing the pain, with the singer warning them that if they continue to hurt him, they will end up bleeding like a blister. This is a clear declaration of boundaries that have been crossed and a warning of potential consequences if they persist. The song ends with a final cry-out of their name, emphasizing the frustration that has built up within the singer towards this person.

Cant wait !
The first time i seen Rikets i was hooked(L4D introduced us to them). Seen them countless times live after that.
Scott was cool as fuck. I seen the entire Rikets machine (sex, drugs and rock and roll) play out.
In the end you could see and feel sonething was not right... I could clerly see something was greatly a miss with Scott (live show in Peoria) few days before the end...After becoming aware of what went down after the end, and, what was going on behind the scenes, I never thought the day would come with a Rikets return. I mean i still shake the walls of the house while blasting it away.
We are more than excited.
Live shows in the future ? If so, me and my wife will be there front and center.

I wore out the CD from putting it in the player so many times, had it polished twice as well.

Who's putting rikets back together? Man, brings back memories from when we were just starting out.
@chamberfreek420
Such a killer song. The shaking of the lyrics really brings out the anger... Can't wait for some new music and to see you guys on the road again.
