What's The Point
Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you'll never notice?
I would sit and wait for you again
Where do we go when we go from here?
Feels like a circle around me while I wait for more
Know that I wanna know where I follow you
Don't wanna go down the street where you once came from
And I, and I wanna know
What's the point of doing anything
If you'll never notice?
I would sit and wait for you again
What's the point of doing anything
If you'll never notice?
I would sit and wait for you again
A line of boxes in an open field
There's a million empty and there's one for real
Now do you want me to go search in each all of them?
Or just lay on the grass and act and pretend
That's what I, that's what I wanna know
What's the point of doing anything
If you'll never notice?
I would sit and wait for you again
What's the point of doing anything
If you'll never notice?
I would sit and wait for you again
Then you came to me and you said
I was not really sure enough how to feel
I pretend like you're not real
But then you came to me and you said
I was not really sure enough how to feel
I pretend like you're not real to me (-e, -e, -e, -e)
What's the point of doing anything
If you'll never notice?
I would sit and wait for you again
What's the point of doing anything
If you'll never notice?
I would sit and wait for you again
What's the point?
Don't you know
What's the point?
In Darin's song "What's The Point," the lyrics express a sense of longing and confusion in a relationship where one person feels unnoticed and unappreciated. The singer questions the purpose of their actions when the other person doesn't seem to acknowledge their efforts. The repeated refrain "What's the point of doing anything if you'll never notice?" highlights the theme of seeking validation and recognition from the other person.
The lyrics also touch upon feelings of uncertainty and directionless-ness in the relationship. The line "Where do we go when we go from here?" suggests a lack of clarity about the future and a feeling of being stuck in a repetitive cycle. The mention of wanting to follow the other person but not wanting to revisit past mistakes or pain reinforces the theme of indecision and a desire for progress.
The imagery of a "line of boxes in an open field" symbolizes the abundance of possibilities and potential paths in the relationship. The singer is torn between actively searching for answers and simply pretending that everything is fine. This internal conflict reflects the struggle to navigate the complexities of love and communication.
The final verses introduce a dialogue between the singer and the other person, where there is a revelation about not being sure how to express emotions or handle the relationship. The repetition of "What's the point?" emphasizes the overarching feeling of futility and questioning, as the singer reflects on the lack of understanding and connection in the relationship. Overall, the song captures the bittersweet emotions of yearning for recognition and clarity in a relationship that appears to be at a crossroads.
