I Don't Care featuring Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace
Apocalyptica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to make it through these lies, and that's all I do
Just don't deny it,
Don't try to fight this, and deal with it
And that's just part of it
If you were dead or still alive
Just go and leave this all behind
Cause I swear (I swear) I don't care
I try to make you see my side
I always try to stay in line
But your eyes see right through
That's all they do
I'm getting buried in this place
I got no room, your in my face
Don't say anything just go away
If you were dead or still alive
I don't care, I don't care
Just go and leave this all behind
Cause I swear (I swear) I don't care
Love changing everything, you won't be left for me
Love changing everything, you won't be left for me
If you were dead or still alive
I don't care, I don't care
Just go and leave this all behind
'Cause I swear (I swear) I don't care
If you were dead or still alive
I don't care (I don't care) I don't care (I don't care)
Just go and leave this all behind
I don't care (I swear) I don't care
At all
The lyrics of Apocalyptica's "I Don't Care" featuring Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace speak of a relationship that has gone awry. The singer expresses that he tries to make it through life, but there is always the presence of his partner making things difficult. He is buried in their place, and there is no room for him, constantly feeling like they are in his face. The partner's eyes see right through them, and they try to make them see their side, but nothing changes.
The chorus speaks of the singer's indifference towards his partner's existence, whether dead or alive. He just wants them to leave everything behind and go away, declaring that he doesn't care. The bridge talks about love having the power to change everything, but in this case, the partner won't change for him. In the end, the singer reiterates that he doesn't care about his partner, and they should leave and leave everything behind.
The whole song emanates a toxic relationship, where the singer has had enough and wants his partner to leave. The lyrics also speak of how the singer is doing his best to make things work, but it's always a one-sided effort. The singer feels like he's running out of time, and he doesn't want to waste any more of it in a toxic relationship.

Hearing this for the very first time in 2022. Man…. Everything is so spot on. The amount of emotion this brings me is unrealistic. He’s definitely always been my favorite vocalist
