about
Heartless is an intense, melodic rock song with a captivating melody. It begins with a perspective on the struggle of the biblical figure Mary Magdalene, where her circumstances are still relevant to modern day problems of assault and abuse within
relationships. The song puts focus on the importance of reflection as a society but more importantly as an individual to better understand and confront the terrible abuses that people face in relationships. The song encourages the listener to come to an uncomfortable and confronting decision as to who the abusers are, and if it could be someone you know or even yourself. The mood of the song changes as it passes into a deeply romantic and loving chorus, embracing the idea that being in a relationship makes a person want to be the best version of themselves, yet contrasts this with the fear of causing accidental harm to a significant other. The overall message of the song is to challenge the listener to reflect on themselves as people, for the purpose of protecting and caring for their loved ones.

Heartless lyrics
I saw of a maiden singing
Her communal prophecy
She sang of quick invasions, lost relations
And the death of privacy
Her mind was torn
From a sickening forgiveness her,
Eyes know my name
Regardless he who is heartless remains heartless
To we who say he’s nothing
To us
Regardless he is heartless
Heartless is he, an empty soul to us
Yet who is us in reference to the divine statement,
“Oh but never us”
Oh but i wish i knew
All
That
I can give I’ll give to
You
Know
More than I could ever know
Ebb and flows
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that you could
Stay
How can I justify fighting for the feelings that you lack
If only I could nullify the beauty in your eyes but i can’t
So i’ll take what’s mine
And throw it away
Is it ill of me to willingly believe It’ll fall by your face
Regardless he who is heartless remains heartless
To we who say he’s nothing
To us
Regardless he is heartless
Heartless is he, an empty soul to us
Yet who is us in reference to the divine statement,
“Oh but never us”
But my heart sees me
Standing right in front of me
Me my darling
Can i run with you
You my darling
Can i call you mine
I need you now
Can i get behind
I need you now
Need you now
