Social Repose - Behave Lyrics






When I look into your eyes
All I see in you is me
A perfect portrait stands there
Holding on so desperately
I don't care what you think
I don't mind where you'll go
But I hope you know the weight
Has broke my back, it's starting to show

I saw no ghost
There was no death
But on the day you left
You wimpered out your dying breath
I saw your sickness
I am the witness
Need to amputate the curse
Before it gets worse

Live or die
Either is fine
You're dying slow
I hope you know

Its just so hard to say goodbye
I held a funeral in my mind
Cause on that the day I saw you die
I don't care if you're still alive
It just happened in my mind
Forced myself to leave you behind
Maybe I need some time
To remove my reflection from your eyes

A chariot
Dressed in black
I'll read your parting hymns
There's no turning back
I'll make you cry
But a little lost love is a love not meant to be
I'm a lone survivor or the only one that didn't flee

Carry out your casket
I didn't ask yet if its appropriate to pretend we haven't met yet
Continue grieving
You're leaving
There's a thousand ways to say goodbye but I'm the one still breathing

Live or die
Either is fine
You're dying slow
I hope you know

Its just so hard to say goodbye
I held a funeral in my mind
Cause on that the day I saw you die
I don't care if you're still alive
It just happened in my mind
Forced myself to leave you behind
Maybe I need some time
To remove my reflection from your eyes

You propose if we put both our heads together
Pull the trigger
Bleed into me
In hopes that atleast
You'll be the last thing that keeps me
From forgetting completely
But I'll protest
You caused this mess
I need to defeat you
Before I become you
With a melancholy stare
Emotions stripped bare
You've dug you're grave
Now lay down and behave

Lay down and behave

Its just so hard to say goodbye
I held a funeral in my mind
Cause on that the day I saw you die
I don't care if you're still alive
It just happened in my mind
Forced myself to leave you behind
Maybe I need some time
To remove my reflection from your eyes

Lay down and behave...
Lay down in your grave

Social Repose Behave Comments
  1. a.... ....

    I think this is one of my favorite songs. I was never a scene kid I grew up listening to Glam then Thrash then heavier Metal with other music still being around but taking a backseat. I get into Hip-Hip and a little bit of dance music. Classical music even. But I never could have seen myself getting into something like this. If this isn't my favorite Social Repose track I guess it would be Island Of Yours, just because it's the song I discovered SR through. Thanks Leaf Blower :)

  2. L.... A....

    Who is here after social repose gamer girl bath water video?

    L.... A....

    That's so random...

  3. K.... G....

    Cadê os br's nessa poh*? Hihi

  4. A.... H....

    Damn.. these lyrics are so badass.. well done.

  5. R.... D....

    This song ... in my head, stuck

  6. o.... g....

    Funny. I think this song is not about anyone else but himself. So hes talking about one of the parts in himself when he says behave. Its like the part when the transformation is over. And then mercy kill is the begining. This is the end needed to begin that he talks about in mercy kill. Am I right? Do i get any points? 😅 Well IT took him a year and a bad fall but hey Richie You got there. High five. 😊

    o.... g....

    Well. Wait. Which one died in the struggle? Does IT warrant a congrats?

  7. H.... �....

    YOU LOVE TUTU.

  8. F.... B....

    Spelled whimpered wrong.

    F.... B....

    He didn't spell whimpered wrong. He spelled whimpered wimpered.

  9. r.... J....

    Damn..now that I listen to this song with context it might be coldest song.. he knew he was hurting her he knew he would deflect blame . The only thing he cared about ...."its just hard to say goodbye" it's not just months of cheating. I'm talking about the things he would tell her to tear down her self image when they were together before she knew about the cheating . Like all out it..monstrous but creative and intelligent

    r.... J....

    This is not about any girl. Its about the part of him that he calls demon. This shadowy figure represents just that. While some of the other songs are about both of the girls. I mean when Jaclyn did the bootypic song IT Was obvious he cheated with the blue haired girl. His ex. He Was still hung up on her and sadly Jaclyn got caught in the Middle of that. And She knew IT. She just thought oh im gonna be the one who saves him. And IT just doesnt work like that. I think She felt most angry because She thought She Was his muse. And when IT clicked in her mind She Was just the rebound girl She felt scorned. Truth is most of IT is all about the struggle with bipolar and what IT leads You to do. A bipolar person when it is at a high engages in very bad behaviours. Because the brain is in a high similar to drugs. He wanted to be happy and normal but will his muse, the disease itself Make him lose his creativity? That is the dilemma. I wouldnt be surprised If he got back together briefly with that bluehair girl. That unless he finally finds one that is willing to share his demons. Which is very hard

  10. A.... J....

    I love this song. His voice is so calming and the beat of the song gives off a calming vibe. I know what it's like to hurt, Richie, and if music is how you turn it into words, then sing your heart out! I wish I could write great music like you! 💜

  15. R.... M....

    Gosh...I love Social Repose❤ your songs are sooo AMAZING❤

  37. B.... 7....

    How are you not hella famous like fr! Don’t ever give up, every word you sing touches so many peoples hearts it’s just unbelievable!

  38. T.... P....

    love this song<3

  39. Y.... V....

    Oh my god I'm so sorry! I've been a fan for like a month and this whole time i thought your name was social RESPONSE! So sorry!

  40. N.... B....

    I have gone from mildly obsessed with this song to completly obsessed. I think I have listened to it at least 100 times and i am not even exaggerating. It is just so amazing.

  41. A.... L....

    Ok. I'm apparently behind on the gossip, but cheaters aren't "monster" they're just shitty. And even then, no one here knows the WHOLE STORY so no one has the right to judge anyone here. Can't we just apprecuate the raw talent and good music he makes? Like really, his personal life is his business because it's his PERSONAL LIFE. Also, gossip is dumb and it makes you sound dumb when you participate in it. And even if Richie was a "monster" why should anyone be ridiculed or bashed for liking his music? You can dislike things people have done, or dislike parts of a person, but to hate someone based on mistakes they've made (especially when you dont personally know all of the individuals involved) is shitty. This world is full of shitty people, don't be one of them. I can be quite a shitty sometimes, but the part that makes me not a shitty person is the fact that I keep my negative comments in my head where they belong.

  42. D.... M....

    Do more, plz!!! ❤❤❤

  43. J.... M....

    I am obsessed with this.

  44. E.... D....

    Disgusting knowing all these black and white videos are about you fucking behind your exes backs

  45. S.... M....

    This song is the bee's knees.

  46. S.... L....

    I'm going to get so much hate for this, but idgaf. I've loved your music, so much.. But I never watched your content until her.. You're exactly like my ex, you're narsisitic, deranged, manipulative and a coward. If you're really sorry, leave the next one alone... The next time that light catches your eye... And you are drawn to it.. Thinking it can save you... Let her fucking go. Leave her alone. I know that you know you need help HM, but I don't feel that you're genuine... There is no way you wrote filthy pride for example.. Without knowing these things about yourself... And you still tried to destroy her. Please... Please.. Don't hurt another.

  47. I.... M....

    All of his songs are so good, I wish I had friends who liked them :c

  48. E.... F....

    When you're judged bc you play sports in school then get caught listening to this but dgaf bc you love this 😊

  49. I.... B....

    No no no no

  50. B.... d....

    love your music. hate the cheating conversation that happened. other than your funny personality and outbreaking flaws. you have a life. she has hers. noones wrong or right but inside you both should cope what happened and just live and forget. its not a matter of sadness its a matter of morality. people come people go. its life. and. in the end we make mistakes. but in a short perspective a demon can't fall for an angel. they are too different

  51. M.... M....

    It's 1:43 go look at it now!!!!

  52. M.... M....

    10/10 for Ritchey

  53. M.... M....

    When Ritchey said I'm a lone survivor I'm the only one that didn't flee that was on point

  54. C.... ....

    My favorite from empress

  55. B.... M....

    Waiting for a music video.

  56. T.... ....

    Your music is like you, a complete piece of shit!

  57. l.... l....

    I habe to ad,it im mad about the whole j breaking her heart thing but i still really lkke ur music it actually helped to calm me when i found out about it

  58. D.... L....

    smdhl.....

  59. H.... J....

    intro to this song just reminds me on halsey

  60. M.... M....

    He's not the first asshole singer. His life is just more televised. You guys probs support other worse ppl.

    M.... M....

    Jazmine Maki captain obvious.

  61. M.... M....

    Fav singer 😍. Is there an instrumental.

  62. C.... V....

    I mean, poor Jaclyn, even if cheating is more common than we think...but still I can't understand hate directed towards his art. Hate on him, not on his music...

    C.... V....

    Cherrylle Valentine because he has admitted he intentionally hurts himself and others to create it.

    C.... V....

    Cherrylle Valentine because the art describes himself.

  63. D.... T....

    I know What social repose did was wrong but fuck man he really makes good music. You guys are fucking retarded if u judge someone by the mistakes that theyve had.... If you wanna judge, Look for the good things in people

    D.... T....

    It's okay 🙂

  64. K.... M....

    This is amazing!!

  65. D.... A....

    I haven't watched Richie in a while, so can someone please explain what he did exactly?

    D.... A....

    Everything for art.

  66. K.... ....

    I'm still not happy with Richie but damn why does his music have to be so good :/

  67. s.... l....

    The fact that you use abuse as some kind of art.. you're fucking nasty.

  68. K.... K....

    Still seems unbelievable to me, almost like a dream, that a human being would actually do something like this, all for his art. You planned this out so far in advance it's almost impressive. I'll admit, I do enjoy your art and music but what you did is stomach churning. I'm sure you planned for this backlash but do you really think this attention and hate will further your career? I'm sure you had all these outcomes in mind. I just hope you don't continue to go around ruining other peoples lives for your art. Ruin your own since that's the only one you have full rights over.

  69. L.... S....

    I love this woman...I’m assuming the Empress. The figure is so beautiful, and I love the EP.

    L.... S....

    Same! I want to figure out more about her and what her name is

  70. M.... H....

    Someone make a metal version of this, please. Amazing lyrics.

  71. S.... ....

    I wonder what you guys think about him now...

    S.... ....

    Gothic Angel yeah I agree his music is pretty great.. if it weren't for his current actions I would even say his music is actually much better than the shit nowadays... But still.. his songs are good.. him as a person is shit..

    S.... ....

    MetroidManiac369 sadly yes his decision makes him a pretty shit person at the moment. But my mother suffered worse from my father and worse than cheating. It’s sad ppl r like this and it’s sad someone as creative as Richie has done this but as far as I’m concerned I’ll stay for his music.

    S.... ....

    Gothic Angel few people really see clearly and don't let every aspect shift they're judgment.. I respect that man

    S.... ....

    Not saying you still like him.. just saying you see a greater aspect and ignore the worst while still knowing it's there

    S.... ....

    MetroidManiac369 I like him as a artist and as a person. Rn I don’t like him as much as a person as he reminds me of my father but even my mum likes his music even tho she hates wat he’s done. Why stop liking someone’s talent coz they made an idiotic move

  72. B.... B....

    Your a dumb fuck writing this song about jaclyn. your the one digging your own grave. dying alone.

  73. A.... ....

    Some people really need to learn to separate the music from the artist sometimes. If you can't then stop watching pretty simple really. I personally still enjoy his music, I can't condone what he did as it was a terrible thing but if you are wanting to hate don't do it on the music videos

    P.S props to the people who can actually converse and debate peacefully about these topics.

    A.... ....

    AegisOfIonia finally a decent comment 👌

    A.... ....

    You can't separate the music and the artist, they're the same. The artist makes the music, and by supporting the music you're supporting the artist in turn.

    A.... ....

    AegisOfIonia I totally agree with you

    A.... ....

    why support someone who is a piece of shit? no matter how good the music, I would never support someone like that

    A.... ....

    The way I see it, Richie didn't make this music, Social Repose did. Richie did those terrible things, not Social Repose.

  74. R.... ....

    Man this song is not bad, and anyone who says it's not is really just wanting to hate, but ever since looking at and hearing what you did, the lyrics wouldn't have mattered, but knowing what happen, it just gives me an uncomfortable feeling listening to your music now. Sucks you ain't a good man.

  75. A.... M....

    What is this crap? music? i dont fucking think so! oh ya, its a scumbag who made it explains everything

  76. F.... D....

    I love your music i really do...but the image of you cheating on beautiful woman like her is haunting me. I'm still in shock.

    F.... D....

    You aren't the only one man that shit fucked me up

  77. A.... P....

    Such a great song it would be even better if i didnt know the true meaning of this song. Considering what happened to Jaclyn and listening to the lyrics of this song and many others before this occured you planned all this shit you piece of trash. Embarrassed her in front of millions on youtube. I hope every girl now proceeds with caution when dealing with you and you get rejected over and over again and die a lonely bastard. Fuck off

  78. K.... H....

    I love your music and I'm staying bc I wanna see what you do with your life to make up for what you did. Yes, you messed up. I understand that, I just wish you showed more remorse for it... But it's you. I love your music tho.

    K.... H....

    Kylie Hannah He didn't mess up, it was all intentional. This wasn't one time.

    K.... H....

    I don't think he is intending to make up...
    Still, good music. Can't stop listening to it right now.

    K.... H....

    kill me he did mess up. It may of been intentional but he still messed up by making that decision. But I guess it’s not really surprising he cheated, many ppl do sadly and it’s something we have to live with.

  79. M.... L....

    Fucking love this song.

  80. E.... B....

    Not in a harsh way but when YouTube try to become music stars or whatever they usually don't sound that great but this this is GOOD

  81. C.... G....

    Why 1k dislikes??

  82. B.... ....

    Your poetry is crazzyyyy amazing. Every song I’ve listened to by you has made my jaw drop a bit. Music is totally you’re thing. Channel these difficult times, social!

  83. l.... s....

    Wow I got these lyrics wrong...
    "I just wanted to say bye"
    "Im the one survivor"
    And pretty much the whole song..

  84. J.... N....

    just came back to dislike everyone of his videos

    J.... N....

    Jacob Neal stfu, I know he made a terrible mistake, but there's no reason to just be rude like that

    J.... N....

    Ok but look at who your defending , do you really think somebody that made Jaclyn rethink her last year with Richie and discover he was lying to her this whole time secretly meeting up with another girl and still continue to make videos with her as her public sweetheart . What he did was unexcusable , and he is every day turning more and more into Onision who he criticizes constantly , literally making a video of him just drinking away his "problems" he just lost the "love of his life" he shouldn't be a little bitch over a number

    J.... N....

    FlutterFly Cheating is never a mistake. Oh wait he must have slipped and fell in the bathroom and his dick accidentally went into another girl. That was a total accident.

    J.... N....

    Jacob Neal You can dislike every one of his videos if you want to but keep in mind that liking, disliking or commenting on a video makes that video more relevant.

    J.... N....

    Jacob Neal yes it was inexcusable but it happens all the time mate and worse cases than this

  85. A.... R....

    Oh thank god you didn’t show your face it’s really ugly

    A.... R....

    Name at least he can show it unlike u go hate on someone else or take a bus

    A.... R....

    Pineapple Cat well at least I didn’t cheat on someone for no reason like him but whatever

  86. D.... ....

    Maybe you should have behaved a bit better in your relationship

  87. M.... C....

    Too bad you couldn't behave

    M.... C....

    Mary Chatzifotiadou OMG lolololol

  88. A.... G....

    The name of the song is something you can't do

    A.... G....

    Anton Gilbert stop hating bro what ur problem

  89. G.... ....

    Good song, but you fucked up, huh?

  90. L.... ....

    People really do seem to be attracted to narcissists for some reason - in all aspects of life...

  91. B.... G....

    Love the song, don't like you right now. You remind me of my ex, who cheated on me the whole year we were together, man up. k?

  92. D.... R....

    It's shit, get a job

  93. j.... t....

    Great tune to listen to while I cheat on my girlfriend

    j.... t....

    Fuggie Mcnuggies probably because you are one

    j.... t....

    FlutterFly I love dick, I eat dick, I breathe dick, I AM DICK

    j.... t....

    I love how none realizes he is joking... Gonna go hang my self brb.

    j.... t....

    His profile picture is from attack on titan movie lol

    j.... t....

    This was so entertaining XD

  94. g.... r....

    “Behave” *oh the irony*

  95. O.... 3....

    O.... 3....

    Nadine Dhaifullah well played. That's what I was going to say to you if you tried to say something about my channel

    O.... 3....

    OccultSorcery 36s oh um ok

    O.... 3....

    OccultSorcery 36s I am still kinda disappointed in Richie but he still admitted it and accepted it not like others

  96. G.... S....

    The best part was when I stopped it
