Careless
Glød Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you can talk about yourself
Building me up
So you can put me down
Laying your makeup
Talking about your childhood
Giving everything I got
Yet you still want more
So you can love with yourself
Lingering me on
So you can put me down
Laying your makeup on
Telling about your childhood
Giving everything I got
Yet but love is love
Fucking with anyone
So you can feel like a man
Putting me down
So you can lift me up
Laying my makeup on
Telling about my childhood
Waiting for the night to end
So you can paint me red again
Love is careless in its choosing
You've been hella wasted all your life
All your life
Love is careless in its choosing
Giving everything I got
Love is careless in its choosing
You've been hella wasted all your life
All your life
Love is careless in its choosing
Giving everything I got
Love is love
The lyrics of Glød's song "Careless" convey a narrative about a toxic and manipulative relationship. The singer describes their partner's behavior of constantly talking about themselves and using others to boost their own ego. The partner builds the singer up only to tear them down and make them feel insignificant. This is portrayed through the lines "Building me up, So you can put me down."
The use of makeup as a metaphor suggests that the partner is putting on a facade, hiding their true intentions and manipulating the singer. The mention of childhood suggests that the partner may use vulnerability or past traumas to gain sympathy or control over the singer. The singer expresses their willingness to give everything they have, but it is never enough for the partner. It presents a one-sided relationship where the partner takes advantage of the singer's openness and generosity.
As the song progresses, the perspective shifts, and the singer flips the tables on their partner. They engage in sexual encounters with others to feel empowered and in control, mirroring the partner's behavior. The singer continues to describe the partner's tactics of putting them down to lift themselves up and how they too apply makeup to hide their vulnerabilities and insecurities. They mention waiting for the night to end, suggesting that they are in a cycle of repeating the same destructive patterns.
The chorus highlights the idea that love can be reckless and irresponsible in its choices. The repeated phrase "Love is careless in its choosing" emphasizes the theme of the song. The next line, "You've been hella wasted all your life," suggests that the partner has wasted their life pursuing superficial and manipulative relationships. The singer acknowledges that love can be careless, but asserts that they have given everything they have despite these challenges. The final line reaffirms that love is still love, despite its flaws and destructive tendencies. It suggests that true love remains despite the toxic dynamics portrayed throughout the song.
