To help promote the albums, he found himself amidst an intense, year round touring schedule, headlining his own club shows across the Southwest and sharing the stage with Gary Allan, Robert Earl Keen, Josh Turner, and Randy Rogers Band. “I didn’t have anything figured out. It was a grassroots effort, but doors continue to open, and opportunities have developed into a career,” Ryan reveals. Constant spawned his first music video “How About You” (featured on CMT Pure, CMT.com, Yallwire.com, etc) and his highest charting single “Hate”, which earned him placement on multiple year-‐end review lists. This mass exposure helped to solidify Ryan as a critic favorite. He has been featured in national publications like Country Weekly and American Songwriter, and has appeared on multiple major market television morning shows such as Good Day Dallas and Great Day San Antonio.
While staying busy with a hectic touring and media schedule, Ryan also maintains a thriving songwriting career in Nashville. As a songwriter for worldwide publishing house, HoriPro Entertainment Group, Beaver has found himself amongst his heroes. He’s collaborated with legendary songwriter Dean Dillon (“The Chair”, “Ocean Front Property”), the prolific award-‐winning Jessi Alexander (“The Climb”, “Drink On It”), and Grammy-‐nominated Ryan Tyndell (“Springsteen”). His passion and talent constantly earns him the respect of his fellow artists and songwriters, many of whom have recorded Ryan’s work.
Even with all of the overwhelming praise, Ryan remains committed to cultivating his craft while preparing to record his long-‐awaited third album. In a recent interview with Country Weekly Ryan said, “As a writer and artist, you have to progress.” He pauses before he goes on to say, “I guess you don’t have to, but for a guy like me I’ve never been good at staying in one place. Complacency scares me. I think you’ve got to keep pushing because that’s when all the amazing stuff happens.” For this undeniably gifted entertainer, and with that creative outlook...the “amazing stuff” is bound to happen.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wheels in constant motion
Karma is an ocean that'll swallow you whole
May God save your soul
(verse 1)
You must enjoy the pain
Of watchin other people suffer
Baby how does that feel?

I've got news for you little darlin
We all have a judgement day
You're gonna have to face the consequences for the choices you made
When you're praying for salvation just remember one thing
You could've had a heart full of love, before it turned to hate
(verse 2)
I guess I lost my mind
To give you so much of me
I'm ashamed I couldn't see behind your colorless eyes
It's a clever disguise
Lying cheating girl
Wheels in constant motion
Karma is an ocean thatll swallow you whole
May God save your soul.
Ryan Beaver's song "Hate" is a powerful rebuke to a lying, cheating girl caught up in a cycle of deception and hurt. The opening lyrics set the scene with "Lying cheating girl, wheels in constant motion." This person is always up to something, always moving, always scheming. The chorus warns that karma is an ocean that will swallow her whole, and the singer hopes God will save her soul.
In the first verse, the singer directly addresses the object of the song's scorn. He accuses her of enjoying the pain of others, including sacrificing her lover for something that wasn't even real. He asks her how that feels, suggesting that she will eventually experience the same betrayals she's inflicted.
The bridge of the song is a direct challenge to the subject. The singer tells her that everyone has a judgement day, and she will have to face the consequences of her choices. He reminds her that she could have had a heart full of love instead of hate.
In the second verse, the singer confesses that he lost his mind giving this person so much of himself. He's ashamed that he couldn't see through her "colorless eyes," a clever disguise that deceived him. In the end, he delivers the song's final warning. Karma is coming for her.
Overall, the message of the song is that actions have consequences, and deceiving and betraying others will bring negative energy back upon oneself. The singer hopes that this lying, cheating girl will change her ways before it's too late.
