Don't Care
Amy Peters Lyrics

The lyrics to Amy Peters's song Don't Care describe a complicated relationship in which the singer is torn between her emotions and her rational mind. The opening line, "Summer solstice, lost my focus," sets the scene for a time of year associated with long days, warmth, and passion. The second line, "I don't know if this is something real," suggests that there is uncertainty about the authenticity of the relationship. The lines "It's chaotic, it's romantic / I can't stand it, how you make me feel" speak to the singer's conflicting emotions - she is drawn to the unpredictability and excitement of the relationship but also finds it overwhelming.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Don't care" multiple times, but there is a subtle change in the middle of each iteration - "but I don't, but I do, I" - that reflects the singer's internal struggle. She is telling herself that she doesn't care about the relationship, but then acknowledges that she does care and wonders if the other person feels the same way. The lines "Your motives are blurry, I know you could hurt me / But I'm still gonna roll the dice" indicate that the singer is aware of the potential risks involved in the relationship but is willing to take a chance.

The second verse continues the theme of ambiguity and longing. The lines "We play platonic, but we want it / You came on and I let you light the match" suggest that the two people in the relationship are trying to keep things casual, but their true feelings are starting to show. The image of a burning mind and unyielding wheels describe how the singer's thoughts are consumed by the relationship, and she cannot escape her emotions. The final lines of the song repeat the phrase "But I do, I" several times, emphasizing that despite her protests to the contrary, the singer is fully invested in the relationship and cannot ignore her feelings.
