It Doesn't Matter
Aerial East Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you didn't do a thing
Sometimes I feel
Everyone is mad at me
But it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
I just don't know what you mean
Michael says I
Should hide my feelings
I guess this is the end
I remember from before
The words don't mean what they
Are saying anymore
But it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
I'm angry at you
But I'm really just angry at me
How could I let
Myself depend on somebody
I know people can't be
What you want them to be
Everytime you dream
You wake up in the morning
And it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Kristy says she
Doesn't wanna be like me
She still believes she
Can fall in love and be happy
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
The lyrics of Aerial East's song "It Doesn't Matter" seem to express a sense of frustration with relationships and communication. The first verse sets the tone for the song as the singer expresses anger towards someone but acknowledges that they did nothing wrong. This suggests that the anger is likely coming from within and has little to do with the other person. The second verse talks about the difficulty in communicating with the person, with the singer not understanding what they mean. Michael advises the singer to repress their feelings, further highlighting a struggle with communication.
The chorus repeats the phrase "it doesn't matter" several times, suggesting a sense of apathy or resignation towards the situation. The third verse reveals that the singer is actually angry at themselves for depending on someone else. The fourth and final verse introduces Kristy, who the singer compares themselves to, suggesting that she is more optimistic about love and happiness than the singer is.
Overall, the song seems to be expressing a sense of frustration with communication, relationships, and the difficulties of relying on and connecting with others. The repeated refrain of "it doesn't matter" suggests a feeling of numbness or detachment from the situation.

This music fit in what I am passing now. Liking someone else who doesn't like me and asking for advice from my friends thinking that it would change anything. At the end it's just me who will get over this alone
@TheShadowball99
beautifully melancholic
