I Don't Care
Q.A.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have a peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by impostors everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who's noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have a peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have a peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be I don't want to be I don't want to be

The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer doesn't want to be anyone other than themselves. They feel surrounded by liars, impostors, and people experiencing identity crises, and they don't want to fall into the same traps. The lines "am I the only one who's noticed? I can't be the only one who's learned" suggest that others may feel the same way but are afraid to speak up.
The final verse is a declaration of the singer's origins and their determination to be themselves. They assert that if someone isn't accepting of who they are, then they can leave. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and not wanting to be anything other than oneself.
