While the band’s current incarnation hails from early 2009, Craving for Chaos were previously able to establish themselves as a support act for bands such as Kathaarsys, Seeds of Sorrow, Aborted, Rotten Sound, Napalm Death, Ingurgitate and Here Comes The Kraken.
Their diversity is shown by a TV appearance on the German Kids Network (Ki.Ka), participating in an EU-funded band project and by winning the "Songs Of The Summoned" song contest for the successful computer game "League Of Legends". In May 2012, the first EP "Arising Disorder" (7 tracks, 35 min. running time, jewel case and poster) was released.
Currently, they are working on their first LP, which is planned to be a conceptual piece of work.
Careless
Craving for Chaos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
His parents gave him everything except for their attention
They didn't care for his success
And he was forced to live a life of loneliness
He didn't want to stay
They always made him pay
Cause he would not obey
He has never felt alright
He has chosen not to thrive
All he wants is his revenge
So he's
Killing them
All of them
Hit the ground
Going down
Forever
Forever Dead
Forever
Forever
Forever
Can you hear them cry?
Oh so many die
Can you hear them cry?
Oh so many die
As he became a bigger boy he was known as a killjoy
They didn't give him anything, not their attention
They didn't care for his success
And he was forced to live a life of loneliness
He didn't want to stay
He has made them pay
Cause they would not obey
He has never felt alright
He has now respect for live
At least he has now thrived
A lonely boy
Who didn't fit
Unknown the cause
Of what he did
A lonely boy
A world of shit
He didn't know
Whom he would hit
And left alone
All of the time
Attention only through a crime
No one ever cared for him
So he has taken
Care of them
The lyrics of "Careless" by Craving for Chaos depict the life of a boy who grew up in a world of joy but lacked the attention and care from his parents. Despite being provided with material possessions, their neglect left him feeling isolated and lonely. This emotional neglect led to his resentment and defiance against authority figures.
The first verse describes his childhood, where his parents prioritized everything except their attention towards him. Their indifference towards his success or well-being caused him to live a life of solitude. The repeated phrase "He has never felt alright" highlights his underlying emotional distress and disconnection from others. As a result, he develops a disregard for life and a desire for revenge.
In the chorus, the lyrics express his intention to take revenge on those who neglected or mistreated him. The line "Killing them, all of them, hit the ground, going down" symbolizes his desire to eliminate those who caused him pain or frustration. The repetition of "Forever" emphasizes the permanence of his act of revenge, suggesting that he holds onto his anger even after their demise.
In the second verse, the lyrics portray his transition into adolescence, where he becomes known as a killjoy due to his unresolved anger towards those who failed to give him attention. Once again, their indifference towards his success leads him to a life of loneliness. This time, however, he decides to take matters into his own hands and make them pay for their neglect.
The lyrics further describe his mindset, mentioning how he never felt alright and lacked respect for life, indicating a deep internal struggle within him. While previously he didn't thrive, he now finds a sense of fulfillment in his acts of revenge, which ultimately reflects his distorted view of justice and resolution.
The final lines of the song allude to the boy's isolation and the absence of anyone caring for him. His actions become his way of seeking attention, suggesting that he believes he can finally take care of those who never cared for him. It highlights the tragic consequences of neglect and the lasting impact it can have on a person's mental state.
