Ring Ring (feat. Clever)

Juice WRLD's 'Ring Ring' featuring Clever delves deep into the emotional turmoil and isolation that often accompany addiction and mental health struggles. The repeated refrain, 'I don't feel like comin' to the phone today,' sets the tone for the song, highlighting a desire to disconnect from the world. This sentiment is further emphasized by the conflicting feelings of wanting to be left alone while simultaneously fearing loneliness. Juice WRLD's lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their inner demons, unable to find solace in either solitude or company.

The song's verses provide a raw and unfiltered look into Juice WRLD's battle with substance abuse. Lines like 'Xans with the ever clear got me seein' foggy' and 'Drugs turn my knob, then I run, that's a faucet' metaphorically describe the numbing effects of drugs and the blurred reality they create. The artist's struggle with addiction is palpable, as he expresses exhaustion from getting high and the false promise that things will improve over time. This candid portrayal of addiction underscores the cyclical nature of substance abuse and the difficulty in breaking free from its grasp.

Clever's contribution to the song adds another layer of depth, as he echoes Juice WRLD's sentiments of feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. The lyrics 'I wasn't prepared for a guest, I'm aware of the stress, I don't care to impress' reflect a sense of being unprepared to face the world and the pressures that come with it. The song's haunting melody and repetitive chorus reinforce the feeling of being trapped in a never-ending cycle of despair. 'Ring Ring' serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles many face with mental health and addiction, shedding light on the importance of understanding and empathy in these situations.
