Another thought: the lyrics above include the lines Don't be so Feel like Scott of the Antarctic But I don't hear the word "feel" in the song. So instead of the first line ending mid-sentence, these lines are one coherent sentence: "don't be so like Scott of the Antarctic". |

| Australian Crawl – Reckless Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I think this song is about irreconcilable differences between the singer and his girlfriend, and between men and women more broadly. Behaviour that he thinks is daring and great, she sees as reckless and wrong. The examples of "that kind of behaviour" that she doesn't like are famous feats of male bravery, with two of them seen as extremely heroic in Australia in 1983. He wants to take risks and fight and achieve great things, but she thinks he's taking risks for no good reason. The singer knows neither can change so the relationship is doomed, which is why it's such a melancholy song. | |
