The song is a delicate balancing act, fusing Americana, Indie Rock, and Guitar Pop to produce a unique and captivating sound. Frontman Jake Cassman's compositional prowess is on full show here as he infuses the songs with biting wit, and empathy. The song's ominous music and poignant lyrics make for an impactful listening experience. The song's lyrics portray an evocative picture of a man who doesn't care about the emotional damage he leaves in his wake, and how his actions have a devastating impact on the women he is with. The vocalist delivers the lyrics with a sense of heartbreak and desperation, driving home the song's central message that objectifying and using others is a lonely, soulless existence that ultimately leads to emptiness and self-destruction.
