It Don't Matter
Frankenreiter Donavon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday people like you and me,
Just want to live naturally.
Time taught you and you taught me,
Nothin' gonna get us down.
Can't you see I said,

If it don't matter to you
It don't matter to me. no no no no
If it don't matter to you
It don't matter to me.

People all around
Makin' sounds and all kinds of noise.
If I could only get there,
Then I could enjoy.
Who they try to be,
Who they tryin' to fool?
Lets change the mood right now,
Turn down the lights,
It's time to cool it down.

If it don't matter to you
It don't matter to me.
If it don't matter to you
It don't matter to me.

Yesterday and what we could be,
It don't matter.
Gettin' more of what we don't need,
It don't matter.
Everything unless I'm with you,
It doesn't matter to me, no.

Bring it on down
Bring it on down to me.
Sing it on down
Sing it on down for me.
Sing it on down
Sing it on down to me.

If it don't matter to you
It don't matter to me.
If it don't matter to you
It don't matter to me. I said,
If it don't matter to you
It don't matter to me. no no no no
If it don't matter to you
It don't matter to me.




Sometimes it don't matter to me.
Don't matter to me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Donavon Frankenreiter's song "It Don't Matter" appear to champion an attitude of carefree individualism. The song seems to suggest that people should strive for naturalness, and ignore the noise and posturing of those around them. The song encourages listeners to be themselves and pursue their own path, rather than wasting time trying to be something they're not or attempting to impress others. The lyrics suggest that if something doesn't matter to you, it shouldn't matter to anyone else either.


The song's chorus is particularly catchy and memorable, with the repetition of the line "If it don't matter to you, it don't matter to me" emphasizing the message of individuality and self-determination. The bridge of the song, which begins with "Yesterday and what we could be, it don't matter," seems to reinforce the theme of living in the moment and focusing on what's important.
