Ruthless is Track 4 on GIRLI’s EP of 2021, Damsel In Distress.
GIRLI adresses (what seems to be) an ex who treated them so poorly that GIRLI ended up being heartless/ruthless.
[Verse 1]
Take me home
Take me back
Take me back to playing teddy bears and butterflies in my hair
Home, what's that?
I got a doll's house with a few cracks
Grew too tall
Now I'm poking out the attic
My feet are in the basement
Coz I never wanna hack it
Life, what's that?
Life, what's that?
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me, use me, screw me over
Play me like I like losing
Trip me, trick me, drug me, say you love me, but you like cheating
You're the only one to blame
You made me this way
Guess that's why I'm so damn
[Chorus]
Ruthless
You made me
You made me
You made me ruthless
You made me
You made me
You made me ruthless
Only way to do it
When you break me
And I lose it
You made me
You made me so damn fucking ruthless
Fucking ruthless
So damn fucking ruthless
[Verse 2]
Take my soul
Take me down
Take me back to the beginning of this when I was still innocent
Me, sorry who?
I'm a kid in a grownup suit
Looking in the mirror
Tryna figure out who's
Banging on the glass coz they're tryna break through
Is it me? Is it you?
Think it's me
Wish I knew
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me, use me, screw me over
Play me like I like losing
Trip me, trick me, drug me, say you love me, but you like cheating
You're the only one to blame
You made me this way
Guess that's why I’m so damn
[Chorus]
Ruthless
You made me
You made me
You made me ruthless
You made me
You made me
You made me ruthless
Only way to do it
When you break me
And I lose it
You made me
You made me so damn fucking ruthless
You made me
You made me
You made me ruthless
You made me
You made me
You made me ruthless
Only way to do it
When you break me
And I lose it
You made me
You made me so damn fucking ruthless
[Outro]
Yeah, it's tragic
All the bad bits
Made me so damn ruthless
No, it's not me
I don't wanna be ruthless

The concept of the Ruthless music video is a queen who’s been through so much bullshit and ousted from kingdom and now she doesn’t give a fuck as she rules over her post-apocalyptic junkyard kingdom. I chose to style myself and the cast in 18th century princess attire, to hint at Sofia Coppila’s Mar...
Ruthless is about losing naivety and childish excitement and having to face the cold hard truth of the world – learning about deception, fake friendships, having to grow a thick skin and lose the happy go lucky girl you were to rise to the top; having to become ruthless. It’s especially something th...
