Reckless
San Cisco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a soft kiss
Your someone that I'm gonna miss
Because all of the loving in the world
Well I wouldn't mind loving that girl
No I wouldn't mind loving that girl
'Cause reckless is fun when you're not the one that gets hurt
Put all my thoughts into a jar
Hide it away somewhere so far
The thoughts, the things I thought I knew
And you could fit right in there too
You could fit right in there too
'Cause reckless is fun when you're not the one that gets hurt
'Cause reckless is fun when you're not the one that gets hurt
'Cause when your hearts in your mouth
And your guts on the ground
And you've got nothing left from the chest down
And something is nothing 'cause what you had
Was so much, so much better than that
'Cause reckless is fun when you're not the one that gets hurt
'Cause reckless is fun when you're not the one that gets hurt
'Cause when your hearts in your mouth
And your guts on the ground
And you've got nothing left from the chest down
And something is nothing 'cause what you had
Was so much, so much better than that
The lyrics of San Cisco's "Reckless" convey a bittersweet sentimentality towards a past relationship. The singer reminisces about the warmth and tenderness he once shared with his ex-lover, and how he misses her now that she's gone. Despite the heartache, the song implies that there's an appeal to recklessness when it comes to love, especially when you're not the one who gets hurt. The chorus repeats this message, highlighting that the thrill of risk-taking can be tempting, but only when you're not the one left heartbroken.
The second verse suggests the singer has hidden away his thoughts in a jar, trying to forget the memories of the past relationship. In a sense, he's trying to compartmentalize or lock away the pain. However, he admits that she could "fit right in there too," demonstrating that regardless of how hard he tries to forget or move on, the memories of her linger.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and regret, but also acknowledges the lure of excitement and risk-taking when it comes to love.
