About This Track

'RIP' by Miguel is a 2025 R&B/Soul track from the album 'CAOS'. The lyrics picture a speaker wrestling with vulnerability, asking to surrender while their defences come down, and admitting that being human hurts. Over a shifting emotional register that toggles between heaven and hell, the refrain returns to the idea of ripping under pressure, as if the self is fraying in the moment “when the weight bears down”. The overall effect is confessional and self-protective, edged with restlessness even as readiness to go keeps surfacing.

"RIP" is a single by Miguel, from the album CAOS, released 22nd October 2025. The track is 2:45 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Miguel.

Lyrics

RIP

Can I surrender to you?
All my defenses are down
It hurts to be human
This could be heaven or hell
We're tryna figure it out
But it hurts to be human

I rip when the weight bears down
So I get edgy on my empty oscillation
And I'm ready to go
I rip when the weight bears down
I rip when the weight bears down
So I get edgy on my empty oscillation
And I'm ready to run
I rip when the weight bears down

So let you dance with tear in your eyes
Some days you're strong with pain in your heart
'Cause these will rain the eye of the storm
Rip the chaos from the waist of my heart
It's gotta be in the dark for a cure
So now I know I gotta be more
It's gotta be more (it's gotta be more)

I rip when the weight bears down
I get edgy on my empty oscillation
And I'm ready to go
I rip when the weight bears down
I rip when the weight bears down
So I get edgy on my empty oscillation
And I'm ready to go
I rip when the weight bears down

Can I surrender to you?
All my defenses are down
It hurts to be human
This could be heaven or hell
We're tryna figure it out
It hurts to be human
This could be heaven or hell
We're tryna figure it out
But it hurts to be human

Oh, my God
