Pay No Mind
Madeon(마데온) Lyrics

She was dancing, she was smiling
The girl was happy and carefree

Roses blooming in her cheeks
Her face was flushed and rosy from dancing and smiling

In a quiet kind of litany
She was quietly accepting a defeat or setback

She accepted some defeat
She had experienced some setback or disappointment

And then she twirled into the arms
She changed direction and embraced a bad decision

Of disgrace, and then repelled
She eventually realized her mistake and tried to distance herself from it

Now, she's fallen to her knees
She's hit rock bottom and feels defeated

But you couldn't ever tell
Despite her struggles, she puts on a brave face

And then, she asked me how we got here
She's confused and doesn't understand how things got this way

I told her, "I don't know!"
There isn't an easy answer or explanation

And if you keep on asking
Continuing to search for a reason may not be productive

I'll just keep saying so
I don't have an answer that will satisfy you

This isn't what I wanted
The current situation is not ideal

It isn't what you need
The girl may be overlooking what's truly important

But let them keep on talking
Don't give up in the face of criticism

Just calm yourself, and pay
Stay focused and don't let the negativity get to you

Don't you pay them any mind
Don't let others' opinions or judgments affect you

You know this happens every time
Criticism and negativity are common occurrences

Let it burn, as if we'd bothered
Ignore the drama and focus on yourself

We'll make sound based on their eyes
Don't let the opinions of others dictate your actions or decisions

As she closes, just to open
The girl experiences ups and downs in life

There's some sirens wailing by
There is chaos and trouble around her

And as she's off to tell her secret
She's confiding in someone for support

To her friends somewhere in town
She seeks the comfort of her social network

And her friend just takes a moment
Her friend needs a moment to process the situation

And that's why I'm not around
The singer is absent from the situation

Darling, this is something
There's an important message to convey

I should have told you long ago
This is something that should have been said earlier

I just want you to feel safe
The artist wants the girl to feel at ease and secure

I just want to make you glow
The singer wants to bring out the best in the girl

But, how you glowed when we were young
The girl was happier and more carefree in the past

There was nothing on our minds
They were both innocent and unburdened by life's complexities

When you jump, for your love
When you take a risk for the sake of love

Baby, you're nothing long of time
Life is short, so go for it

Why did we have to, go further every time?
Why did things have to escalate and become more complicated?

Some days you hear it (don't listen, I'll carry you)
The artist will offer support and strength when needed

Some days you don't (to the universe we'll never go)
Some days, you just can't escape the struggles of life

Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, help me)
Sometimes, the pain and struggle just aren't worth it

Sometimes you won't
Other times, it's hard to escape the pain and hardship

Just calm yourself, and pay
Stay focused and don't give up, no matter what happens

Don't you pay them any mind
Don't give power to negative voices or opinions

You know this happens every time
Negative criticism is a recurring theme in life

Don't you pay them any mind
Stay strong and focused on what matters

Don't you pay them any mind
You can't control other people's opinions or reactions

You know this happens every time
Negativity and criticism are inevitable in life

Now, don't you pay them any mind
Stay positive and focused, despite the negativity around you
