Being one of Cam’s favorite songs, ‘RIDDLER?’ was inspired by ‘The Batman’, a marvelous piece of cinematography which was released in early March of 2022.
The song revolves around the main villain of the film, The Riddler, and it conveys his anger. It is also quite a passionate spiel detailing the...
[Chorus]
Told me that I speak in riddles, tell 'em I speak in the truth
And if you feel little and caught in the middle
Of all of this looped, abused, and used without a clue
Drown it all out today, drown it all out today
Flush the whole town away, ayy, ayy
Told me that I speak in riddles, tell 'em I speak in the truth
And if you feel little and caught in the middle
Of all of this looped, abused, and used without a clue
Drown it all out today, drown it all out today
Flush the whole town away, drown it all out today
[Verse 1]
I wrote you a letter, I thought you were better than this
But you'll never admit to your scams
Sworn to protect
But you feed off those dyin' in debt for a check, and it scans
I get wantin' bands, but you'll sell your city for ten grand, damn
What was the plan? And I won't pretend, I don't play, man
I fuck with violence and cocaine, but I draw the line at these faux saints
Bendin' our lives for their own gain, don't care if we die like we Cobain
Turn us to crime and it don't pay, they eat off their bribes on a gold plate
No more of the lies with a bold face, we floodin' the whole place
[Refrain]
Told me that I speak in riddles, tell 'em I speak in the truth
And if you feel little and caught in the middle
Of all of this looped, abused, and used without a clue
Drown it all out today, drown it all out today
Flush the whole town away (Cam Steady)
[Chorus]
Told me that I speak in riddles, tell 'em I speak in the truth
And if you feel little and caught in the middle
Of all of this looped, abused, and used without a clue
Drown it all out today, drown it all out today
Flush the whole town away, drown it all out today
[Verse 2]
I wrote you a letter because we are better together
You know that you're part of this play
If you feel you're wearin' a mask
As you're tacklin' everyday tasks, we're the same
I'm livin' a life of charades, my only disguise is my face
How could I ever be fake when I'm only myself when I'm up on the stage?
And I'm not gonna change 'til I break the chains
Renewal's a lie, but vengeance remains
And now is the time, today is the day
We slaughtered an army, united we reign
And I'll take the dive to start off the waves
And go on a ride in reckoning's wake
As they're askin', "Why?" for the very first the time
That they're getting a taste of our pain
[Chorus]
Told me that I speak in riddles, tell 'em I speak in the truth
And if you feel little and caught in the middle
Of all of this looped, abused, and used without a clue
Drown it all out today, drown it all out today
Flush the whole town away, ayy, ayy
Told me that I speak in riddles, tell 'em I speak in the truth
And if you feel little and caught in the middle
Of all of this looped, abused, and used without a clue
Drown it all out today, drown it all out today
Flush the whole town away, drown it all out today
[Outro]
Whether objective, subjective, or complex
You'll find it in full if you confess
(Tell 'em I speak in the truth)
