Apathetic
Lunachicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My sterio got stolen and I don't care
The casserole is burning and I don't care
The phone is broken and I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I farted on the train and I don't care
I pissed in the rain and I don't care
My toenail is ingrown and I don't care
[Chorus]
People say I'm apathetic
I don't care & I'm pathetic
( I don't regret it)
I don't have any aesthetics
Because I'm apathetic
I'm gonna die and I don't care
Never know why and I don't care
Sleep between my thighs and I don't care
Never tell me lies but I don't care
[Chorus]
The world is ending and I don't care
Got a pimple on my butt but I don't care
There's gum on my shoe, but I don't care
Got a cat and he's a mutt, but I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
People say I'm apathetic
I don't care & I don't let it
Bother me in any way
These people come around every single day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
They're just like you so get the hell away !
Apathetic !
The Lunachicks' song "Apathetic" is a satirical take on the idea of apathy and a refusal to care about anything. The song's lyrics are intentionally absurd and meaningless, with the band members purposefully expressing a lack of concern about everything from physical injury ("I got run over and I don't care") to personal hygiene ("I farted on the train and I don't care") to the end of the world ("The world is ending and I don't care"). The chorus of the song directly addresses the idea that the band members are apathetic and pathetic, but they do not regret it.
The underlying message of the song is that apathy is both liberating and self-destructive. The lyrics are a commentary on the idea that caring too much can lead to disappointment and pain, yet not caring at all can ultimately lead to a lack of purpose and meaning in life. The Lunachicks reject the notion that apathy is inherently negative, arguing that it can be a valid and empowering response to a world that often seems out of control.
