I Don't Mind
Craig McLachlan & Check 1-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But lost my way on the return
I’ve been talking to a ghost or two
I’ve been acting like a pawn
If there’s no one left by your side don’t be afraid
Cause we are never really lost if we believe
I could try, I could try
To blow your mind
But I decide
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
What you desire
Don’t need crutches no more I’ve learned to be myself
I’ve been talking to a friend
He asked me where the fuck you’ve been
With all these flashing cameras on my face
Completely forgot to call him
But you will always make it up if you’re sincere
I could try, I could try
To blow your mind
I could try, I could try
But I decide
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
What you desire
Don’t need crutches no more I’ve learned to be myself
I could try, I could try
To blow your mind
I could try, I could try
But I decide
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
What you desire
Don’t need crutches no more I’ve learned to be myself
I could try, I could try
To blow your mind
I could try, I could try
But I decide
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
What you desire
Don’t need crutches no more I’ve learned to be myself
The lyrics to Craig McLachlan and Check 1-2's song "I Don't Mind" speaks to a sense of self-discovery, independence, and personal growth. The song begins with the singer reflecting on a period of isolation and feeling lost, possibly due to being disconnected from others. They mention talking to ghosts and acting like a pawn, suggesting a lack of direction and purpose.
However, the lyrics then shift to a more empowering tone, encouraging the listener not to be afraid even if they find themselves alone. It emphasizes that true self-belief and faith can prevent one from ever truly being lost. The singer expresses a willingness to try and "blow your mind," which could refer to impressing or surprising someone, but ultimately asserts their own autonomy and decision-making power by declaring "But I decide."
The following lines indicate a realization that the singer doesn't need external validation or support. They have learned to be self-reliant and independent, no longer relying on "crutches" to navigate through life. The song ends with a reaffirmation of this newfound self-confidence and determination to be true to oneself.
Overall, "I Don't Mind" is a song about finding one's own path, embracing individuality, and learning to be comfortable with oneself.

I’ve been hanging out alone
I have been spending time by myself
But lost my way on the return
But I lost track of my path on the way back
I’ve been talking to a ghost or two
I have been having conversations with imaginary beings
I’ve been acting like a pawn
I have been behaving like a mere puppet
If there’s no one left by your side don’t be afraid
If you find yourself alone, don't be scared
Cause we are never really lost if we believe
Because as long as we have belief, we are never truly lost
I could try, I could try
I have the potential to attempt
To blow your mind
To impress and amaze you
But I decide
However, I am the one who ultimately decides
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I am indifferent, it doesn't bother me
What you desire
What you want or wish for
Don’t need crutches no more I’ve learned to be myself
I no longer rely on external support, I have learned to be authentic
I’ve been talking to a friend
I have been having a conversation with a friend
He asked me where the fuck you’ve been
He asked me where on earth have you been
With all these flashing cameras on my face
With the constant presence of cameras pointed at me
Completely forgot to call him
I totally forgot to give him a call
But you will always make it up if you’re sincere
But if you are genuine, you can always make amends
Don’t need crutches no more I’ve learned to be myself
I no longer rely on external support, I have learned to be authentic
