De groep is op het door JB Meijers geproduceerde, titelloze tweede album de indie-rock ’n roll band die ze altijd al in zich hadden. ‘Iedere indieband gaat met zijn tweede plaat elektronisch,’ zegt zanger/gitarist Stefan van der Wielen met een grijns. ‘Wij doen het net andersom.’ Op het nieuwe werk weet de groep onverminderd een herkenbaar, catchy geluid neer te zetten.

I Don't Mind
Orange Skyline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't mind
To take it slow
I don't mind you
I don't mind
To be your goal
I only want to please you
But still you don't know my name
I don't mind
To walk away
'Cause I run to you
I don't mind
I'm getting laid
'Cause I'm in time for you
And still you don't know my name
And you still only play your game
So why will you look on the other side?
So why will you change and be yourself this time?
So why will you look on the other side?
So why will you change and be yourself this time?
I don't mind
To stop and go
I only want to see you
I don't mind
To play your games
I just want to beat you
And still you don't know my name
And you still only play your games
So why will you look on the other side?
So why will you change and be yourself this time?
So why will you look on the other side?
So why will you change and be yourself this time?
*whistle*
So why will you look on the other side?
So why will you change and be yourself this time?




So why will you look on the other side?
So why will you change and be yourself this time?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Orange Skyline's song "I Don't Mind" seem to describe a person who is infatuated with someone and is willing to do whatever it takes to please them. The lyrics indicate a willingness to take it slow, to be the person's goal, and to walk away if necessary. The singer expresses their desire to be with the person, to play their games, and even to be beaten by them. Despite all of this, the person they are attempting to woo doesn't even know their name and is still only playing their game.


The chorus of the song seems to indicate a desire for the person being pursued to change and be themselves, rather than continuing to play games and look to the other side. It suggests that the singer wants the person to see them for who they are and to be genuine in their interactions. Although the lyrics are somewhat cryptic, they seem to speak to the idea of valuing oneself and being true to one's own desires, rather than solely focusing on the desires of someone else.


Overall, "I Don't Mind" is a song about unrequited love and the lengths one is willing to go to in order to win the affection of another person. It is a poignant and raw expression of the pain and frustration that can come with being infatuated with someone who doesn't feel the same way.
