Love & Caring
Crystal Castles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here's my genius plan
To make superior man
Anatomically built
This half corpse can't guilt

Say goodbye
To your incest eyes
Blue blood
Say why shattered glass
Makes shattered ribs
Never heard when it's time to guilt

Until the bottom of winter blues
You're my teacup passing by
Doctor dead
And his kids
Oh, how awful it was today

The sounds of screaming
Save us please
Open wounds
Drowned in Kerosene

What the fuck is this?
Oh, it's the bass

So, what do you think of me?
Is it a joke
Or a part of me?

Yeah,
I'm just saying
May your face
Minimize the human race
This way we can be together
Make threats to switchblade lovers

Okay baby




It's been so long
Since the cityscape had episodes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Love and Caring by Crystal Castles are quite cryptic and hard to decipher. It seems to be reflecting on the idea of creating a superior race of humans, which has been the subject of much controversy and ethical debate. The first two lines of the song suggest that the singer has a plan to create a superior man, one that is anatomically built, possibly through genetic engineering. The phrase "half corpse can't guilt" might be referring to the idea that if we can create humans with certain abilities or traits, they might not feel remorse or guilt for their actions.


The next few lines are harder to interpret, but it seems to be about saying goodbye to old ways of thinking, represented by the "incest eyes" and "blue blood". The line "shattered glass makes shattered ribs" could be a reference to violence or broken relationships. The singer then reflects on the idea of guilt again, suggesting that sometimes people don't feel guilty when they should.


The chorus seems to reflect on the winter blues, perhaps a metaphor for a feeling of emptiness or loneliness. The line "you're my teacup passing by" could be a nostalgic reference to a moment that has passed. The mention of a "doctor dead and his kids" adds a note of morbidity and darkness to the lyrics.


The second half of the song is increasingly chaotic and difficult to interpret. There are mentions of screaming and open wounds, suggesting violence or pain. The phrase "may your face minimize the human race" is particularly disturbing and provocative, suggesting a desire to eradicate certain types of people. The song ends with a reference to "cityscape episodes", which could be interpreted in many different ways.

[Verse 1: Alice Glass]
Here's my genius plan
Make a superior man
Anatomically built
This half corpse can't guilt
It's hard to find your insect heart
Blue blood, tear apart
Shattered glass, shattered rib
Now my hand will start to give

[Verse 2: Alice Glass]
How does your body retain blood?
You're my decomposing love
I'm doctor death, Mary Beth
Now I have a hearse to get
Silent scream
Scissored seams
Open up
Drown in kerosene

[Interlude: Alice Glass]
What the fuck is this?
Oh, it's the bass

[Verse 3: Alice Glass]
When I cut deep you'll think of me
Until your lobotomy
No anesthetic, lay your pace
Mutilate the human race
This way, we can be together
Mangled hearts stitched with leather
I've been waiting for so long
Your silent scream's my favorite song

Use my genius plan
Make superior man
Anatomatically built
This half corpse can't guilt
Try to find your insect heart
Blue blood
Santa Claus
Shattered Glass
Shattered Rib
Never had the sense of guilt

Until bottom we say my
The hormone teacup
My own gloves
I'm doctor dead
Let us live
Know how horrible he wants to get
So extreme
Scissors seats
Obi Wan
Drop it and kill old Tim

What the fuck is this
Oh it's the bass

Welcome to you you think of me
Enter your battle needle
Under setting
Lower your bags
Minimize the humid rice
This way
To compare to get on
Make real threats to
Switchblade lovers
I ain't ready
To go so slow
But Santa's kind
To my favourite song
