Heartless (feat. Julia Alexa & Belfa)

In 'Heartless (feat. Julia Alexa & Belfa),' RNLA delves into the emotional turmoil of being overly sensitive and the desire to become emotionally resilient. The song's protagonist grapples with the pain caused by their heightened sensitivity, which leads them to overthink and care deeply about things that others might dismiss. This sensitivity makes them vulnerable to hurtful words and actions, even when they are meant as jokes. The lyrics poignantly capture the internal conflict of wanting to let go but being unable to due to the emotional weight they carry.

The chorus reveals a longing to be 'heartless,' a metaphor for emotional invulnerability. The protagonist wishes they could shield themselves from the pain inflicted by others' words and actions.

The lyrics reflect a deep-seated anxiety about being a hindrance, further emphasizing the protagonist's internal struggle. Through 'Heartless,' RNLA, Julia Alexa, and Belfa create a relatable narrative for anyone who has felt the weight of their sensitivity and the desire to build emotional armor.
