Hard Feelings/Loveless Lyrics

Lyric discussion by jonerez 

Cover art for Hard Feelings/Loveless lyrics by Lorde

When did we become a commitment-phobic society, of people who prefer detached hookups with strangers, than sex with someone they love? Having a partner, a relationship, that stands the test of time is one of the most pleasurable and rewarding things in life. Lorde's generation want love, but they don't know a thing or two about it.

She's taking aim at her generation. All of these twenty-something kids who's perception of love has been so screwed up by the divorce endemic of the baby-boomer generation, and the false cliches peddled to them in film.

It's a fun pop song, with a very dark undertone. "Loveless" is like the ultimate fuck you, a girl who has been slighted by her ex, who will not be silenced. Who refuses to fade as soon as her man closes his eyes.

My Interpretation

@jonerez just like Alanis in You Ought to Know.
