E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have the eyes that wander 'round
I couldn't see what really mattered
Caught hell from my boss
Don't care about my job
Caught a cold from the rain
Don't care if I'm cold
But the only thing I care about got away
She was a walking work of art
I am a broken wind-up toy
I thought I knew what really mattered
Got a flat on the road
Don't care about my car
Lost 26 bucks
Don't care about my rent
Caught every episode on TV today
But the only thing I care about got away
She had a brilliant future
I have a past
I have my memories
But they're fading fast
Caught hell from my boss
Don't care about my job
Caught a cold from the rain
Don't care if I'm cold
Played every record that I own today
But the only thing I care about got away
The only thing I care about got away
The lyrics to E's song "The Only Thing I Care About" tell the story of someone who is lost, wandering through life and feeling unfulfilled. The first verse juxtaposes the eyes of two different people - she has the eyes of someone older, while the singer has eyes that wander aimlessly. It sets up a clear contrast between someone who knows what they want and someone who is still searching.
As the song progresses, the singer recounts various things that have happened to them, including getting into trouble with their boss, catching a cold from the rain, and losing money. They also mention watching TV all day and playing every record they own, indicating a lack of purpose or direction. Through it all, though, one thing remains clear: the only thing the singer truly cares about has escaped them.
The final verse adds another layer to the story by introducing the idea of a brilliant future versus a fading past. The singer appears to be stuck in the present, unable to find their way forward. The repetition of the lines about the boss and the rain further reinforces this sense of stagnation. Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the difficulties of finding meaning and purpose in life.
