The song "Extreme Wealth And Casual Cruelty" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra explores the themes of love, societal norms, and the impact of wealth and cruelty on relationships. The lyrics describe a ghost-like character who is distant and detached, comparing her to a frozen satellite. She communicates without words but with her eyes, and although she may appear delicate like a rose, she can become crazy and outspoken when she expresses her thoughts. The song suggests that if the two individuals were strangers again, they would fall in love once more, possibly implying that familiarity and societal expectations have affected their relationship. The mention of abandoning extreme wealth and casual cruelty implies that materialism and callousness have influenced their connection negatively. The lyrics also touch upon the discomfort the narrator experiences due to societal norms, as people act strangely towards them. This could be a reflection of how the world responds to those who deviate from conventional behavior or expectations. Overall, "Extreme Wealth And Casual Cruelty" presents a critique of the negative consequences of wealth, societal pressure, and detachment on love and relationships.
