- Cruel Lyrics / with translationsBodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
[Verse 1]
Forgive the kids, for they don't know how to live
Run the alleys casually cruel
Cruel, cruel
[Verse 2]
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
For you could want that, too
They could take or leave you
So they took you, and they left you
How could they be casually cruel?
Cruel, cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh
[Bridge]
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
If you could want that, too, then you'll be happy
[Verse 3]
You were the one waving flares in the air so they could see you
And they were as laughter, blowing past ya, blowing fastly so they can see
Ya
Cruel, cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh
[Fade out]
[Verse 1]
Forgive the kids, for they don't know how to live
Run the alleys casually cruel
Cruel, cruel
[Verse 2]
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
For you could want that, too
They could take or leave you
So they took you, and they left you
How could they be casually cruel?
Cruel, cruel, oh
[Bridge]
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?
If you could want that, too, then you'll be happy
[Verse 3]
You were the one waving flares in the air so they could see you
And they were as laughter, blowing past ya, blowing fastly so they can see
Ya
Cruel, cruel, oh
Cruel, cruel, oh
[Fade out]

When we look deeper into its meaning, the track 'Cruel' composed by St. Vincent is about the stress to adapt to what society wants and the perception of others as using and throwing away. The symbolism of 'Bodies' illustrates people getting dehumanized and exploited by their environment and that is the cause of cruelty and isolation in fact the desire of others. In fact, the Cruel lyrics are mostly about angst, heartbreak, despair, social commentary, and reflection. Furthermore, the song underscores the values of society, the cruelty and apathy, and the quest for approval.
