RIP
Rilan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
drank the color from my lip and kissed me dead
shook the apple from the tree
I though you'd finally gone and set me free
Buried under six feet deep
But you never let me sleep
Why'd you have to open up
us
break me so completely
shoot me down and I'm smiling sweetly
I come alive and I die a thousand times
Won't you let me rest in peace
won't you let me rest in peace
let me rest in peace
won't you let me rest in peace
Ashes to ashes
please release me
break the walls that you built to hold me in
Take a shovel to my affection
‘Cause there ain't nothing here to resurrect
Underneath the deep blue sea
Drowning in a memory
Why's you have to open up
us
use me
break me so completely
shoot me down and I'm smiling sweetly
I come alive and I die a thousand times
Won't you let me rest in peace
won't you let me rest in peace
let me rest in peace
won't you let me rest in peace
use me
break me so completely
shoot me down and I'm smiling sweetly
I come alive and I die a thousand times
Won't you let me rest in peace
use me
break me so completely
shoot me down and I'm smiling sweetly
I come alive and I die a thousand times
Won't you let me rest in peace
won't you let me rest in peace
let me rest in peace
won't you let me rest in peace
The lyrics of Rilan's song 'RIP' reflect on a toxic relationship that has left the singer feeling drained and desperate for freedom. The opening lines of the song describe the singer's heart being taken by their lover, who consumes all their passion until there is nothing left. The use of the phrase 'kissed me dead' suggests that this consuming relationship is ultimately destructive, leaving the singer feeling lifeless and unfulfilled.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of the singer dying a thousand times, indicating the intense emotional pain they are experiencing within the relationship. The lines 'why'd you have to open up us, use me, break me so completely' suggest that the singer feels that their lover has deliberately hurt them, possibly manipulating them for their own gain.
Later in the song, the singer pleads with their lover to 'let me rest in peace,' indicating that they crave release from the relationship's suffocating effects. The use of the imagery of burial ('buried under six feet deep') and drowning ('underneath the deep blue sea') suggest that the singer feels trapped and unable to escape from the grip of their lover's control.
Overall, 'RIP' is a powerful song that captures the intensity and pain of a toxic relationship. Through vivid imagery and emotive language, the song explores the themes of control, manipulation, and the desperate need for freedom.
