I Do
? (Rain) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up lonely you're next to me
I don't know if I've survived my sleep
Don't you know me I'm your agony
Don't detest me try to live inside me
I want to break through your skin but

I don't mind I don't care
I can't see the sky from here
What have you done?

I don't mind I don't care
I can't feel my soul down here
What have you done?

You're getting closer trying to leave
Begging for mercy please let me be




Can't you see it? Life becomes unreal
Can't you feel it? I'm inside your skin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rain's song "I do" are quite intriguing and paint a lonely, almost haunting picture. The first verse begins with the singer waking up next to someone but feeling a sense of loneliness. They don't know if they've even survived their sleep, leaving the impression that the night was perhaps dark and tumultuous. The singer then addresses their partner, asking them to understand that their own inner turmoil is something they experience every day, and not to hate them for it. They even express a desire to break through the other person's skin, perhaps indicating a desperate need for connection.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I don't mind, I don't care" twice, almost as if the singer is trying to convince themselves of this fact. However, they go on to admit that they cannot see the sky or feel their soul, indicating a deep sense of detachment or depression. The final verse describes the partner getting closer yet begging for mercy, as the singer seems to push them away. The final lines seem to suggest that the singer's own inner turmoil has somehow taken over, and they are now living inside their partner's skin.


Overall, the lyrics to "I do" paint a vivid picture of emotional turmoil and detachment. The repetition of "I don't mind, I don't care" creates a sense of numbness, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves not to feel. The desire to break through someone else's skin and live inside them is a powerful image, suggesting a need for connection and perhaps even a desire to escape from their own troubled thoughts.

I wake up lonely you're next to me
I feel alone even with you by my side


I don't know if I've survived my sleep
I don't feel alive upon waking up


Don't you know me I'm your agony
I'm the pain that you feel


Don't detest me try to live inside me
Instead of hating me, try to understand what I represent


I want to break through your skin but
I want to be a part of you, but I know I'm not welcome


I don't mind I don't care
I'm indifferent to my own situation

I feel trapped and unable to escape from where I am


What have you done?
I blame you for my current state


I can't feel my soul down here
I feel disconnected from my own sense of self

You're withdrawing from me despite being near


Begging for mercy please let me be
I plead for release from the pain I represent

The pain I represent can make everything feel surreal and unbelievable


Can't you feel it? I'm inside your skin
I'm so intertwined with your existence that you can't escape me

Yuqi: (Oh-oh-oh) Hit me like a shot on the heart

For anyone who thinks this song isn't doing well, it's currently #34 on the US Radio Media Database Chart. Which is absolutely insane for a first English US debut.

Hikikomori DC

Especially with them coming from a mid-ass company and having so little promo for this song, lol

aPaladin

if you want them to do well, people need to buy the songs on platforms.

Sindiel Taylor

@aPaladin they've already gone platinum on preorders for HEAT.
