Reckless
Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The prime age, feeling great
But these days make
everything so god damn difficult
Perfect space, hesitate
It doesnโ€™t help
that I am so god damn cynical
Every night is like a chore
I canโ€™t resist a little more
I do not want it hand delivered
My frustrations like a curse
It always gets a little worse
It must be earned I have considered

I need a little more Reckless love
I need a little help from above
I need a little more nights up late
I just canโ€™t take it, just canโ€™t take it
I need a little more validation
I need a little less hesitation
I need a little more restless nights
I just need a little more
Leave it at my front door

What they see, is it me?
I am not sure
Who should I be when you play predictable?
Confidence, wheres it at?
Did I ever
Say anything thatโ€™s unforgivable
Jealousy, manipulate
Become the one that I had hate
I do not want it hand delivered
Go on now and take the bait
A Life style we canโ€™t escape
It must be earned I have considered

I need a little more Reckless love
I need a little help from above
I need a little more nights up late
I just canโ€™t take it, just canโ€™t take it
I need a little more validation
I need a little less hesitation
I need a little more restless nights
I just need a little more
Leave it at my front door

I need a little more Reckless love
I need a little help from above
I need a little more nights up late
I just canโ€™t take it, just canโ€™t take it
I need a little more validation
I need a little less hesitation
I need a little more restless nights
I just need a little more
Leave it at my front door

I need a little more Reckless love
I need a little help from above
I need a little more nights up late
I just canโ€™t take it, just canโ€™t take it
I need a little more validation
I need a little less hesitation
I need a little more restless nights




I just need a little more
Leave it at my front door

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chris' song "Reckless" speak to the disorienting feeling of being adrift and directionless in life. The opening lines, "When did the highlight while away / There used to be a time plan," convey a sense of aimlessness and confusion. The singer laments how their aspirations and dreams used to be much clearer, but have now become scattered and disjointed. The line, "For pieces of dreams to rest upon" suggests that the singer's goals were once neatly defined and compartmentalized, but are now amorphous and difficult to grasp.


The second verse reveals that the singer feels abandoned by someone they once trusted implicitly. This person is out in the world advocating for a cause they believe in, while the singer is left alone to grapple with their own demons. The line, "Your letters and signs to grasp among / While I mourn alone" highlights this disconnect between the two people. It's clear that the singer once relied on this person to guide them and to give their life direction, but that trust has been betrayed. The final stanza, "You feigned your own faith / And still I can't shake / That it's true" underscores the singer's sense of betrayal and disillusionment.


Line by Line Meaning

When did the highlight while away
When did the excitement disappear?


There used to be a time plan
We used to have a plan for the future


For pieces of dreams to rest upon
We had goals to work towards


Now I'm charred alone
Now I feel burnt out and alone


I can't think beyond
I can't see past my current situation


You're no better 'cuz you put me on
You're not superior just because you convinced me to follow you


You said we had faith
You claimed we had trust in each other


Instead I can't shake
But now I can't get rid of the feeling


That it's true
That things aren't going well


When there's nothing to plan for
When we don't have a clear direction for our lives


Then there's dust and new gasoline
Then the past fades away and new opportunities appear


Hazing the early morning
Making it hard to see things clearly in the beginning of the day


And I can't look ahead when our daydreams
I can't imagine the future when our shared dreams are gone


Used to populate everything
Used to be the center of our lives


Is this all there is for me?
Is this all there is to life for me?


You're out there marching with the band
You're out there following the crowd


Your hand in hand with their pain
You're joining in their struggles


Your letters and signs to grasp among
You're holding on to symbols and ideals


While I mourn alone
While I grieve by myself


My own betterment and the drugs you're on
I'm only focused on my own improvement while you're under the influence


You feigned your own faith
You pretended to have your own beliefs


And still I can't shake
But I still can't get rid of the feeling


That it's true
That things aren't going well


When there's nothing to plan for
When we don't have a clear direction for our lives


Then there's dust and new gasoline
Then the past fades away and new opportunities appear


Hazing the early morning
Making it hard to see things clearly in the beginning of the day


And I can't look ahead when our daydreams
I can't imagine the future when our shared dreams are gone


Used to populate everything
Used to be the center of our lives


Is this all there is for me?
Is this all there is to life for me?


Mmmm
No clear meaning, perhaps just a vocalization of emotion
