Ronald Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1: Ronnie Radke]
Once upon a time, everything was alright
I used to feel safe, not a worry in sight
Then I grew up, quickly realized
The world is a fucked up place sometimes
Death is at your door
Reaching in from the other side
It's time to cut the cord
Hangin' on like a parasite, go (Ah)
Hangin' on like a parasite
Hangin' on like a parasite
[Pre-Chorus: Ronnie Radke]
Don't hesitate, you're hangin' on for your life
Don't hesitate, you're reachin' out from the light
Walking on a razor's edge
My blood runs black, I'm not your friend
Fuck
[Chorus: Ronnie Radke]
Pull from the depths of the 36 Chambers, ah
Ah, pull the trigger, give a bullet to a stranger, nice
Ah, pull from the depths of the 36 Chambers (Hahahahaha)
Pull the trigger, give a bullet to a stranger
[Post-Chorus: Ronnie Radke]
I don't wanna die (Die), but I'm not gonna live
In a place so cold, in a world like this (This)
Crucify me (Me), it's blasphemy (-my)
Throw me in the fire, let me burn for eternity, go (Go, go, go)
Burn for eternity (-y, -y, -y), eternity
I'll never be the one that will ever back down
Never turn around and run
Never, never, never back down
[Verse 2: Ronnie Radke & Tech N9ne]
Deep into the trench of a place unknown
Lies a dead man clutched to the bottom of a throne
At the bottom of a hole that nobody wants to go
It's the devil that you know that's gotta hold up on your wicked soul (Damn)
What is up in your mind?
Are you thinkin' the devil is makin' the crime?
Or the people are evil and never no demon design?
Or the opposite of a divine? No
Yes, the hell is in front of you, side and behind
I can feel every sign of a human decline
I'm believing the time is upon us when all of our people are blind (Yo)
Red rain, saw it fallin' from a tower's dead plane
Head banged Mandalay Bay hotel, lotta lead came
Sex change could get you caught up in death range
He pled sane but really imitating Ed Gein
How do we get this way? Negative shit to say when you get dismay
Havin' a fit today so you wanna make a bitch decay
My son's mom went gone, it was really wrong
I thought I was gonna vomit searching for my son, but I didn't go John Muhammad
So the devil's right here on this level, wipe tears
'Cause when rebels ready to pop the heavy metal, why fear? (Yeah)
Abomination, they been fakin', consecration hatin', western education
Got that killer on a kid, I gotta chase 'em, go
Go
[Breakdown: Ronnie Radke, Alex Terrible, Ronnie Radke & Alex Terrible]
Spiraling out of control and deeper down the rabbit hole
Ayy
Never gonna let them get the most of what they'll have to resurrect
You're sick to death, better take me down
I don't give a fuck, this disgrace to God (No)
Yeah (Ah)
Never gonna let them get the most of what they'll have to resurrect
I don't give a fuck, this disgrace to God
[Verse 1: Ronnie Radke]
In this section, Ronnie Radke sets the tone by reflecting on the loss of innocence and the harshness of the world as he grew up. He expresses a sense of betrayal by the world, where safety and comfort have been replaced by fear and uncertainty. The imagery of death being ever-present and the feeling of being a parasite clinging to life highlight the existential dread and the feeling of being trapped in a cruel world.
[Pre-Chorus: Ronnie Radke]
Here, Ronnie emphasizes the desperation and urgency of survival. The razor's edge symbolizes the thin line between life and death, and the black blood running through his veins suggests a transformation into something darker, reflecting the loss of his humanity and connections. This section underscores the fight to hold on despite overwhelming odds.
[Chorus: Ronnie Radke]
The chorus references the "36 Chambers," an allusion to the Wu-Tang Clan, symbolizing depth and complexity. The act of pulling the trigger and giving a bullet to a stranger speaks to the destructive nature of these internal and external battles, where violence and pain become a means of coping with the turmoil inside.
[Post-Chorus: Ronnie Radke]
In this part, Ronnie grapples with the desire to escape the pain yet refuses to give in. The coldness of the world and the blasphemous crucifixion imagery reflect his defiance against a world that seems devoid of hope. The repetition of never backing down underscores his determination to continue fighting, even if it means facing eternal damnation.
[Verse 2: Ronnie Radke & Tech N9ne]
This verse delves deeper into the darkness, with Tech N9ne contributing his perspective. The imagery of a dead man at the bottom of a throne represents the ultimate fall from power and grace, possibly a metaphor for the loss of self or control. Tech N9ne's lines explore the complex interplay of good and evil, questioning whether the darkness comes from within or from external influences. The references to real-world events and notorious figures like Ed Gein add a layer of horror, illustrating how societal decay and personal demons are intertwined.
[Breakdown: Ronnie Radke, Alex Terrible, Ronnie Radke & Alex Terrible]
The breakdown intensifies the chaotic spiral, with the repetition and forceful delivery amplifying the sense of losing control. The mention of a disgrace to God emphasizes the moral and spiritual decay, where the characters in the song have reached a point of no return. The refusal to let others gain control or resurrect what has been lost indicates a final stand against overwhelming forces, even in the face of inevitable destruction.
