Pointless

Jordan Sweeto's song 'Pointless' delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that seems to be falling apart despite one's best efforts. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply invested in their partner, yet feels a profound sense of futility in their actions. The repeated phrase 'everything I do for you seems pointless' underscores the frustration and helplessness that comes with unreciprocated love or a relationship that is on the brink of collapse.

The song opens with a plea to 'look the other way and let's pretend,' suggesting a desire to ignore the impending end of the relationship. This denial is a common coping mechanism when faced with the painful reality of a failing relationship. The lines 'When I'm thinking of you thinking of me / There's just no way that I could watch you leave me' highlight the deep emotional connection and the fear of abandonment that the narrator feels. This fear is further emphasized with the rhetorical question, 'How am I supposed to turn away like you're not there?'

As the song progresses, the sense of inevitability becomes more pronounced. The lyrics 'Wait another day and you can see / How everything comes back to you and me' suggest a glimmer of hope that things might improve, but this hope is overshadowed by the recurring theme of pointlessness. The narrator's struggle is palpable as they admit, 'I can't give you up, I can't let you go,' yet they are resigned to the fact that their efforts are in vain. The repetition of 'pointless' throughout the song serves as a stark reminder of the emotional exhaustion and despair that comes with trying to salvage a relationship that seems doomed.

'Pointless' by Jordan Sweeto is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and the heartache of feeling powerless in the face of a deteriorating relationship. The song captures the essence of emotional struggle, the pain of unreciprocated efforts, and the lingering hope that things might change, even when all signs point to the contrary.
