It Don't Matter
El Torpedo & Matt Mays Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To say goodbye
To all the times we had before
Guess it don't matter
If you're ever in Eastern Passage
You'd better not come knockin' on my door
'cause it don't matter
It don't matter anymore
Time, lord give me some time
To rid my head of these things I can't ignore
Like your fists poundin' on my door
All I want some piece of mind to help me get through
Oh, it don't matter,
It don't matter anymore
These lyrics, from the song "It Don't Matter" by El Torpedo and Matt Mays, explore themes of loss, change, and moving on. The first verse asks how it feels to say goodbye to past memories and experiences. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that it doesn't matter anymore, possibly suggesting a resignation to the fact that what was once important no longer holds weight. The second verse seems to address an unresolved conflict, with the singer warning someone not to come knocking on their door in Eastern Passage. The singer pleads for time to heal and find some peace of mind.
The repeated phrase "It don't matter" can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it could express a sense of apathy or resignation towards things that were once important, as if they no longer matter. On the other hand, it could be a form of reassurance or comfort, a way of telling oneself that despite the changes and losses, everything will be okay.
The mention of fists pounding on the door in the second verse suggests a physical conflict, possibly domestic violence. This could add another layer to the song's themes of loss and resilience, as the singer attempts to recover from a traumatic experience.
Overall, "It Don't Matter" is a poignant exploration of loss, change, and the search for inner peace. The repeated refrain of "It don't matter" adds a dose of stoicism to the mix, reflecting the singer's efforts to come to terms with the past and move on.
