"Riptide" lyrics

"Riptide"

Riptide, it's a riptide
Riptide, it's a riptide

Finally frozen
No more emotion
Started escaping now everything's numb
Dove in the deep end
Stuck and I can't swim
So out of breath I know I don't have long

Yeah this is way too much, just give me the rush
Yeah this is way too much, just give me the rush

I'm done explaining my pain
This is way too much
I wanna feel euphoria
Give me the rush
Cause it's the last time that I romanticize
The riptide that's trying to drown me
Full of excuses for way too long
Don't wanna sing another hopeless song
Cause it's the last time that I romanticize
The riptide
It's a riptide

Riptide, it's a riptide
Riptide, it's a riptide

I'm so ashamed of
My vicious problems
Keeping the worst of me all to myself
It's overwhelming
Not ever telling
The ones I love that I gotta find help

Yeah this is way too much, just give me the rush
Yeah this is way too much

I'm done explaining my pain
This is way too much
I wanna feel euphoria
Give me the rush
Cause it's the last time that I romanticize
The riptide that's trying to drown me
Full of excuses for way too long
Don't wanna sing another hopeless song
Cause it's the last time that I romanticize
The riptide
It's a riptide

Don't wanna die
I guess I gotta let it go
Don't wanna die
I guess I gotta let it go

I'm done explaining my pain
This is way too much
I wanna feel euphoria
Give me the rush
Cause it's the last time that I romanticize
The riptide, yeah
I'm done explaining my pain
This is way too much
I wanna feel euphoria
Give me the rush
Cause it's the last time that I romanticize
The riptide that's trying to drown me
Full of excuses for way too long
Don't wanna sing another hopeless song
Cause it's the last time that I romanticize
The riptide
It's a riptide

Riptide, it's a riptide
Riptide, it's a riptide

"Riptide" is the lead single from Bearthooth's fifth studio album. The song was premiered on July 12, 2022, accompanied by a music video.
Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo told about "Riptide" backstage at Slam Dunk Festival 2022, "It's the first song that I wrote after I quit boozing which was a huge part of my life during 'Below'. [...] This was the first song I've written that has an ounce of hope in it. That isn't just incredibly self-deprecating and incredibly dark."
"'Riptide' is about trying to start a new chapter in life and trying to stop focusing on all of the negative things that have been surrounding my life for quite some time," said Caleb Shomo of this song, "and me focusing on being healthier, happier, and having a better time with my life."
