Call Me Irresponsible
Cecilia Dale Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call me irresponsible
Call me unreliable
Throw in undependable, too
Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Well, I'm not too clever, I
I just adore you
So, call me unpredictable
Tell me I'm impractical

Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you
Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Girl, I'm not too clever, I
I just adore you
Call me unpredictable
Tell me that I'm so impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue
Go ahead, call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
I'm irresponsibly mad for you

You know it's true
Oh, baby, it's true

Overall Meaning

The song "Call Me Irresponsible" by Cecilia Dale is about being so in love with someone that you are willing to accept any criticism or insults they may throw at you. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not always reliable and may make foolish alibis, but regardless of those flaws, they still adore the other person. They admit to being unpredictable and impractical, but they are willing to pursue any path that leads to love, even if it seems foolish. The repeated phrase "I'm irresponsibly mad for you" emphasizes the intensity of their love.

The lyrics also suggest a sense of vulnerability and insecurity as the singer questions whether their alibis bore the other person and admits that they are not too clever. However, this vulnerability is countered by their willingness to pursue rainbows and take risks for love. The song ultimately expresses a sense of surrender to love and all of its unpredictability and imperfections.
