Let Me Be (Lone Ranger) (Unreleased)

Juice WRLD's unreleased track, "Let Me Be (Lone Ranger)," delves deep into the artist's internal struggles, blending themes of love, loneliness, and societal issues. The song opens with a repetitive motif of love songs, suggesting a cycle of emotional turmoil and unfulfilled desires. Juice WRLD questions the authenticity of his feelings and whether they are understood by others, highlighting his sense of isolation. The metaphor of being a 'lone ranger' with his 'rari as his steed' paints a vivid picture of his solitary journey, where his luxury car becomes his only companion in a high-speed chase against depression.

As the song progresses, Juice WRLD's lyrics reveal a darker side of his psyche. He speaks of his sanity decreasing and choosing the darkest paths, setting them on fire as a form of self-destruction. The imagery of a 'bloody cape' and 'bloody apron' suggests a savior complex, where he feels burdened with the responsibility of healing broken hearts and providing remedies, yet he is simultaneously battling his own demons. His relationship with drugs is portrayed as a toxic one, where he acknowledges the harm but feels trapped by addiction, comparing the allure of Percocets to a pretty girl begging for more.

The latter part of the song shifts to a broader social commentary. Juice WRLD reflects on the historical and ongoing oppression of his people, drawing parallels between slavery and modern-day addiction. He questions the systemic issues that have led to the proliferation of drugs and violence in his community, expressing frustration and sorrow. The lyrics touch on the Black Lives Matter movement, the legacy of African kings, and the harsh realities of growing up in broken homes. Despite the pain and struggle, there is a sense of resilience and defiance, as he declares his newfound wealth and independence, challenging the societal structures that have long oppressed his community.
