Cruel Lyrics

Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?

Forgive the kids, for they don't know how to live
Run the alleys casually cruel
Cruel, oh

Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
For you could want that, too
They could take or leave you
So they took you, and they left you
How could they be casually cruel?
Cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh

Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
If you could want that too, then you'll be happy

You were the one waving flares in the air so they could see you
And they were a zephyr, blowing past ya
Blowing fastly so they can't see ya
Cruel, cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh

Cruel, cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh

What is the Meaning of Cruel?

Ever felt like the world is just a little too harsh? St. Vincent's song delves into the pain of feeling used and discarded by those around you. The lyrics speak to the struggle of seeking acceptance and validation, only to be met with indifference or cruelty. It’s about the emotional toll of trying to fit in and the realization that people can be unkind without even noticing it. The lines "They took you, and they left you" highlight this sense of abandonment. Ultimately, it's a poignant reflection on how casual cruelty can deeply affect one's sense of self-worth. #EmotionalStruggles #CasualCruelty
