I Don't Make Me
Ignant Benches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There were lights, feelin′ stupid
Feeling low, we all know
Yeah, I crashed on the couch
Onto something, and I know I saw it's alive
Yeah, it′s crawling down here
That's alright, that's okay
Maybe I was not
You struck me with a two ton sledge
I′m feeling off, so off
But you wouldn′t lie, I've got
Some teeth to kick in now that we′ve engaged
Oh, you and I don't see eye to eye, no
Well, you′re stupid
And I, I'm useless
So that′s alright, that's okay
Well, you're stupid
And I, I′m useless
So that′s alright, that's okay
Well, you′re stupid
And I, I'm useless
That′s alright, that's okay
Well, you′re stupid
And I, I'm useless
That's alright, that′s okay
The lyrics of Ignant Benches's song I Don't Make Me appears to be a reflection of the singer's feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth. The opening lines describe a chaotic and unsettling situation with sound on the roof and lights that make the singer feel stupid and low. They also mention crawling down something alive, which could be a metaphor for their own negative thoughts and emotions that feel out of control.
The next few lines suggest that the singer may have been physically hurt or attacked by someone else: "you struck me with a two-ton sledge, I'm feeling off, so off". However, despite this encounter, the singer doesn't seem to have the confidence or ability to stand up for themselves, as they mention "some teeth to kick in now that we've engaged". This shows a theme of powerlessness and lack of agency, as they struggle to assert themselves against someone who they don't see eye to eye with.
The repetition of the phrase "that's alright, that's okay" throughout the song seems to be an attempt by the singer to detach themselves from their emotions and the situation at hand. They're telling themselves that it's okay to feel useless and stupid, and that they don't need to fight against it. It's a coping mechanism, but also a realization that sometimes it's easier to just accept things as they are, instead of trying to change them.

There was sound on the roof and
I heard a noise on the roof and
There were lights, feelin′ stupid
The lights made me feel foolish
Feeling low, we all know
Everybody knows how bad I'm feeling
Yeah, I crashed on the couch
I had to collapse on the couch
Onto something, and I know I saw it's alive
I saw something move, it's not dead
Yeah, it′s crawling down here
It's crawling towards us
That's alright, that's okay
It's fine, I don't care
Maybe I was scared
Perhaps I was afraid
Maybe I was not
Or maybe I wasn't
You struck me with a two ton sledge
Your words hit me hard
I′m feeling off, so off
I feel really bad, worse than usual
But you wouldn′t lie, I've got
I trust you, and now I realize
Some teeth to kick in now that we′ve engaged
I have some retaliatory actions to take now that we're involved
Oh, you and I don't see eye to eye, no
We don't agree on things, and won't change that
Well, you′re stupid
You're unintelligent
And I, I'm useless
I'm worthless
So that′s alright, that's okay
It's alright if we don't get along
Well, you're stupid
You're still unintelligent
And I, I′m useless
I'm still worthless
So that′s alright, that's okay
I still don't care if we don't like each other
Well, you′re stupid
You're really not smart
And I, I'm useless
I have no value
That′s alright, that's okay
It's still fine if we don't see eye to eye
Well, you′re stupid
You're incredibly dense
And I, I'm useless
I'm completely worthless
That's alright, that′s okay
It doesn't really matter anymore
