If He Likes It Let Him Do It
Drums The Lyrics

The lyrics of this song by Drums The present a series of seemingly disconnected phrases that evoke a sense of confusion, loss, and perhaps even resignation. The opening lines, "If he forgets you he forgets you for good / If you wanna feel / You better start searching some more / Because it was a happy time / Now it's winter time and you're cold," suggest a sort of fatalistic attitude toward relationships and emotions, where once something is lost, there's little hope of ever recovering it. The phrase "If you wanna feel" seems to point to a desire for connection and intimacy, but the subsequent line "You better start searching some more" hints at the difficulty of finding it.

The next few lines, "I could never be a soldier / So I won't make you stand so tall / And tonight's the night / When there's light in your eyes / And you say goodbye or I die," add another layer of complexity to the song. The singer seems to be acknowledging their own limitations and unwillingness to be a certain kind of person. The line "And tonight's the night / When there's light in your eyes / And you say goodbye or I die" is particularly poignant, as it suggests a sense of finality and perhaps even sacrifice. However, the repeated refrain of "If he likes it let him do it" throughout the song creates a sense of detachment and acceptance, almost as if the singer is urging themselves (or someone else) to let go and simply allow things to be.
