Don't Care About Anything
Alex Winston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a change, a change for heaven's sake.
Right now, I don't care about anything,
right now I don't care about anything.
hand to God, I thought I loved you
I thought I thought I thought i thought I trusted you
Right now, I don't care about anything,
So won't you kick me, hit me, shake me, scare my ghost
I'm feeling comatose. Barely moving now, gravity you brought me down.
kick me, hit me, shake me, scare my ghost
Man he said its just a phase but Jesus Christ its taking days
Right now, I don't care about anything,
I really don't care about anything.
So won't you kick me, hit me, shake me, scare my ghost
I'm feeling comatose. Barely moving now, gravity you brought me down.
kick me, hit me, shake me, scare my ghost
kick me, hit me, shake me, share my ghost
So won't you kick me, hit me, shake me, share my ghost
I'm feeling comatose. Barely moving now, ow oh, you brought me down.
kick me, hit me, shake me, scare my ghost
The lyrics in "Don't Care About Anything" suggest feelings of hopelessness and resignation to one's current state. The singer says they will pray for change but also admits to not caring about anything in the present moment. They speak of a past love, acknowledging the betrayal of trust they feel. The lyrics also suggest a desire for some sort of physical pain or shock to snap them out of their emotional apathy, as they repeat the refrain "kick me, hit me, shake me, scare my ghost." The singer seems to feel stuck, stagnant, and unable to feel any real emotion or connection to the world around them.
The repetition of the phrase "kick me, hit me, shake me, scare my ghost" throughout the song is a strong indication of the singer's desire for outside intervention, for a jolt or shock to pull them out of their emotional numbness.
Interestingly, the repetition of "hand to God" at the beginning of the song can be interpreted in a few different ways- it can suggest a genuine plea for change, or it can be read as a sarcastic or flippant remark. Both interpretations would fit with the overall tone of the song.
The line "Man he said its just a phase but Jesus Christ its taking days" juxtaposes a dismissive attitude towards the singer's struggles with a genuine frustration over their ongoing nature. This line adds depth to the song's overall theme of feeling stuck and unable to move forward.
Overall, "Don't Care About Anything" is a powerful exploration of emotional apathy and the desire for change, even when it seems impossible to achieve.
