I Don't Mind
Colby Lafayette Lyrics

The lyrics to Colby Lafayette's song "I DON'T MIND" explore themes of existential crisis, self-deprecation, and a sense of being trapped in one's own mind. The song begins with the line "Clear eyes bleed oh someone tell me," which can be interpreted as the singer expressing their emotional pain and longing for someone to understand and empathize with them. The reference to Machiavelli and the "great escape" suggests a desire for liberation and freedom from the constraints of their own thoughts and emotions.

The next lines, "Smeared eyes breed that passive envy, when I breathe god in my lenses" can be seen as the singer commenting on the distorted perception they have of themselves and the envy they feel towards others who seem to have a more peaceful existence. The reference to "god in my lenses" could symbolize the singer's tendency to view the world through a filtered lens, searching for meaning or purpose.

The following stanza delves into feelings of self-worth and the singer's dissatisfaction with their life. The line "My life ain't shit when I need it" reflects a sense of disappointment and frustration with their circumstances. The reference to their "whole existence in my penis" could suggest a feeling of powerlessness, as if their entire existence is reduced to their physical desires and needs.
