I don't care

Care if it's old
I don't mind

Get away
Away, away from your home
I'm afraid

Afraid, afraid of a ghost
Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three

The lyrics of Deadweight's song "Breed" convey a sense of detachment and disregard for societal norms. The repetition of "I don't care" and "I don't mind" creates a mantra-like quality, suggesting a refusal to conform to the expectations of others. The line "Even if you have, even if you need, I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed" can be interpreted as a rejection of societal pressure to follow a traditional life path of marriage and procreation. The reference to planting a house and building a tree suggests an alternative way of living, one that is not tied to traditional structures or conventions.
The repetition of the line "She said" towards the end of the song suggests that there is someone who is challenging the singer's worldview. It is unclear whether this person is proposing an alternative way of living or if they are questioning why the singer holds such a detached attitude. Either way, the final "She said, good!" suggests that the singer is open to this challenge and perhaps willing to re-evaluate their perspective.
Overall, "Breed" can be seen as a critique of societal expectations and a call for individuality and non-conformity.
