After a string of successful releases during 2014, there’s no telling when Ry’s momentum will stop. The Unearthed featured artist successfully just finished his debut tour, and returns to finish 2014 making his biggest mark yet with 'Lightning In A Bottle'.
The new single is a taste of what's to follow on Ry's upcoming debut EP 'Ivory Coast' - due early 2015 via Inertia Access. The release is sure to be another highlight for one of Australia’s most exciting Hip-Hop artists on the horizon.
Berlín
Ry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Berlin in the cold
All that fighting, all that snow
Sober nights
And Byron on my mind
Tell me I'm not going home
And I'll stop waiting by the phone
Bedroom floor
And silence in my blood
Sorry, love, I'm running home
I'm a child of sun and the stars I love
The song "Berlin" by Ry feels like a yearning for escape. The first verse "Come down love, Berlin in the cold" sets the mood of wanting to escape a current situation and finding solace in the cold, dark environment of Berlin. The lines "All that fighting, all that snow" further emphasizes the need for a change of atmosphere, as the current place feels suffocating and hostile.
The next verse is a mix of nostalgia and desire. "Sober nights and Byron on my mind" suggests a desire for a clear-headed escape, with literature providing the mental escape. The line "Tell me I'm not going home, and I'll stop waiting by the phone" feels like a plea to a loved one to allow the singer to escape and not wait longingly for their return.
The final verse gives a glimpse into the singer's mindset. "Bedroom floor and silence in my blood" paints a picture of loneliness and quiet reflection. The line "I'm a child of sun and the stars I love" suggests that this person is a lover of freedom and open spaces, which could explain the need to escape and find a new environment that provides that.
