Do You Mind
Five for Fighting Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you mind if I ask you a question
Do you mind if I swear not to hurt you
Do you mind if I don't piss on your bed

Do you mind if I bring her still with me
Do you mind if I forget and thank you
Do you mind if I juggle the meaning
Do you care that I only wear silver
Do you care that set only stone
Are you angry the you I'm adopting
Is only a pretense at home

Do you mind if I make you wear earrings
Like she did, like you did before
Do you mind for I think I still love you
Do you mind




Always have
Evermore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Five for Fighting's song "Do You Mind" are full of complex emotions and deep insecurities. The singer is clearly struggling with the aftermath of a failed relationship, and is trying his best to navigate the complicated feelings that come with it. The first few lines of the song present a series of questions, all of which hinge on the idea of permission - "Do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Do you mind if I swear not to hurt you?" - as though the singer is trying to tiptoe around the other person's feelings, afraid of upsetting them.


As the song continues, the questions become more and more revealing. The line "Do you mind if I bring her still with me" implies that the singer is still carrying baggage from his previous relationship, and can't let go of the past. The reference to "juggling the meaning" suggests that he's struggling to find clarity in his thoughts and emotions. Then, the singer asks if the other person cares about things like what he wears or what kind of jewelry he likes - it's clear that he's trying to manipulate their perception of him to fit his own insecurities.


Finally, the singer confesses his true feelings - "Do you mind for I think I still love you" - but it's unclear if he's saying this out of genuine emotion or just trying to hold onto something that's already slipped away. The use of the phrase "Evermore" suggests that this is a feeling that will never go away, no matter how hard he tries to bury it.


Overall, "Do You Mind" is a poignant and deeply relatable exploration of the complicated emotions that come with the end of a relationship.
