I Don't Mind
Sic & Mad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She took all my clothes and she wore them in the pouring rain
My best hoodie came back with a hole and a purple stain
I'm new to this feeling
I don't mind the stealing
You can take all my clothes, but baby please don't take my mind

I found all my cigarettes burned on the fire escape
From a night of drunk lullabies by the bars over Avenue A
She took my spare keys then
She could take everything
I'm at her mercy, darlin, please don't take my mind
Please don't take my mind
Please don't take my mind!

I use it all the time
Love games will cross my wires
My face pressed to the fire
So please don't take my mind
I need you in my life
Don't use me like you might
Never even decide
If you want me baby

Oh, la da da da da

She took all my sleep, talkin, stayin up real late
I heard a knock on the door when I thought she had gone away
And I pray to my ceiling
When I'm old and wheeling
Don't let me forget her lord, no
Please don't take my mind




Please don't take my mind
Please don't take my

The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability, desperation, and a plea for the preservation of one's mental well-being.


In the first paragraph, the lyrics describe the partner taking the singer's clothes and wearing them in the pouring rain. This gesture signifies a blurring of boundaries and a willingness to share everything, even personal belongings. The singer doesn't mind the stealing because they are new to this feeling, possibly indicating that they are infatuated and willing to overlook certain actions. However, the line "You can take all my clothes, but baby please don't take my mind" serves as a plea to maintain their sanity and individual thoughts in the midst of the relationship.


The second paragraph continues with the partner burning all the singer's cigarettes on the fire escape. This act can represent a desire to control the singer's habits and vices.

The line "My face pressed to the fire" can be interpreted metaphorically as the singer subjecting themselves to pain and suffering for the sake of love. They express a need for the person in their life but also fear being used without any clear commitment or decision on their partner's part. The repetition of "Please don't take my mind" emphasizes the importance of maintaining their sanity and not losing themselves completely.


The final paragraph reveals the partner's effect on the singer's sleep and routine. Despite thinking the partner had left, they come knocking at the door, further disrupting the singer's peace of mind.

@xevylo3949

-Love the scene where anne pats the kids as she did so many things for the poor and unemployed

- foreshadowing the c of e

- her dad pushing her to henry

- other queens grossed out by the letters cuz of the theory anne hated his ass

- the animation and sceneries look so pretty

- facial expressions and overexaggerations ngl is a must now cuz anne's life was a whole convulating story

- her trying to calm herself during the stressful situations

- love how in the "he doesn't wanna bang you" part Catherine's ring is there while Anne's wasn't ik they weren't married at the time but yk maybe aragon was using her "i'm the real wife" to get people to side her

- some of the attire here looks so accurate

- The comic book parts and the headless anne drawings look so good it's basically telling her song and character in the musical, a modernized version

- she's rather sympathetic here cause she knew what she was doing and what was happening to her while trying to put a brave front

- i love how the color changed at the "maybe i'll flirt" part , everytime a situation is dire it's either a darker shade of green with some red maybe the lighter color symbolizes that it doesn't match with her real story? Or just an aesthetic thing

- love the part where before she was dragged the red color starts popping , in the musical before she does the climax a shade of magenta pops with the bass while she says "what was she meant to do?" Ngl i saw it as a "red alert" thing like one of those alarms

- fluidity of the animation is just lovely and millie's cameo audio of her singing the last bit of the song

love ur vid waiting for jane's song cuz ngl i love her and i want her animatic to showcase her strength and what she did

Hi

@pupperpalace9889

I love the part where the guards drag Anne out kicking and screaming through the hallway of smiles/mouths. It really shows how much she's fallen and how everyone is happy to see her "put in her place".
