Missing Out (Again)

Careless is a song about words, communication, (mis)understanding & respect, exploring the way we to talk to/about each and the power that holds. Careless uses wordplay and irony to explore communication on an interpersonal level and in a broader political sense. It’s about the importance of listening, and (crucially) understanding and thinking about your response in relation to the impact you intend your words to have. It's about considering how the tools we use to relate to each other aren't limited to language and how tone, expression, actions and context can drastically change the way a phrase or statement is perceived.
Ultimately the song seeks to highlight how the differences between communication in romantic or personal relationships aren't that different to widespread political or diplomatic rhetoric. We stand by calling out and recognising the violence in intentional or careless communication.
Only marginalised people can reclaim slurs historically & currently used against them. Respect people’s pronouns. Black Lives Matter
Care for each other.
