I Don't Mind
Slumber Party Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't mind if you find
someone's God, if he were different than mine
every time, by design
's hearin' you and you

I just wanna be true
Live my life in the summer night with you
Whenever I go, remind me I've been gone for so long

I don't mind the wine
fills the place, the empty space
pass the time when I'm
s'posing you'll be holding hands

I just wanna be true
Live my life in the summer night with you
Whenever I go, remind me I've been gone for so long

The bright lights, I find
Slip inside and cause me blind, overwhelm, I turn
ever never make it in the world

I just wanna be true
Live my life in the summer night with you
Whenever I go, remind me I've been gone for so long

I just wanna be true
Live my life in the summer night with you
Whenever I go, remind me I've been gone for so long

I don't mind if you find
the girl of your dreams and leave me behind.

Overall Meaning

In "I Don't Mind" by Slumber Party, the lyrics seem to reflect a sense of detachment from the world that surrounds them as well as a comfort in embracing whatever life brings. The opening line "I don't mind if you find someone's God, if he were different than mine" seems to suggest a willingness to accept different beliefs or opinions than one's own. This is reinforced by the line "every time, by design 's hearin' you and you" which feels like a nod toward the idea that everything happens for a reason.

Throughout the rest of the song, the lyrics continue to explore this theme of acceptance and living life in the moment. The lines "I just wanna be true Live my life in the summer night with you Whenever I go, remind me I've been gone for so long" express a desire for authenticity and meaningful connections with others. The idea of the "summer night" feels like a temporary respite from the stresses of life, and it's something to be cherished.

The final section of the song "I don't mind if you find the girl of your dreams and leave me behind" feels like another acknowledgement of impermanence. Despite any heartbreak that might come from a loved one leaving, the singer seems to be at peace with the idea that everything is always in flux. This overall sense of detachment might feel melancholic, but it's also an acknowledgment that life is full of unexpected twists and turns.
