Careless Whisper
Prismo Lyrics

Prismo's rendition of the classic George Michael hit, "Careless Whisper," speaks about regret and the consequences of taking things for granted. The song's opening lines - "I'm Never Gonna Dance Again, these guilty feet have got no rhythm" - sets the aimless and detached mood of the singer. The guilt that plagues the singer's "feet" prevents them from enjoying a simple pleasure such as dancing. By using the metaphor of "guilty feet," Prismo suggests that the singer's indecisiveness and selfishness have led to the current state of affairs.

The singer reflects on the past with a sense of disappointment and regret; they have lost a special connection with someone they cared about. Based on the lyrics, it seems that the relationship has failed due to the singer's careless actions. The reference to "treating a friend" poorly and "wasting" opportunities suggests that the singer failed to appreciate the relationship that they had. The line "I know you're not a fool" shows that the singer acknowledges their wrongdoings and has lost the trust of someone they care about. The unrequited longing in the repeated line, "I'm never gonna dance again, the way I dance with you-ooh," emphasizes the connection that has been lost due to the singer's mistakes.

The song's melancholic and reflective tone portrays how regret can be all-consuming when one realizes the magnitude of their actions. By the end of the song, the singer is resigned to their fate and acknowledges that they will never be able to experience that connection again. In summary, "Careless Whisper" highlights the importance of appreciating what one has and not taking things for granted to avoid living with regret.
