I Don't Mind
Station Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can think about the woman that you knew the night before
But it only leads to questions more and more
You might think you know the answer but there's more than meets the eye
And the absence of the reason means you're looking to the sky

In the middle of the night when you are too far gone
Holding out your hand for one more try
I don't mind it if you run away
And I don't mind it if you choose to stay
All we have is a just a passing time
'Cause when you look and you don't see then you might find
Peace of mind

Flashing lights along the sidewalk as you make your way uptown
And the taxi takes the bridge to get you home
No mirror for reflection and it gives you time to think
If you're living for the next day or you're living for the dream

In the middle of the night when you are too far gone
Holding out your hand for one more try

I don't mind it if you run away
And I don't mind it if you choose to stay
All we have is a just a passing time
'Cause when you look and you don't see then you might find
Peace of mind

I don't mind it if you run away
And I don't mind it if you choose to stay
All we have is a just a passing time




'Cause when you look and you don't see then you might find
Peace of mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Don't Mind" by Station delve into themes of introspection, uncertainty, and the pursuit of inner peace. The opening lines talk about reminiscing about a past encounter with a woman, but finding that it only leads to more questions and a deeper understanding that things are not always as they seem. The lyrics suggest that seeking answers or reasons for certain situations can ultimately lead to a sense of confusion and looking for clarity in the unknown, symbolized by "looking to the sky."


The chorus of the song expresses a sense of acceptance and detachment, as the singer declares that they don't mind if the person they are addressing decides to run away or stay. This could reflect a sense of understanding that people come and go in life, and that time is fleeting. The idea of "passing time" suggests a transient nature of relationships and experiences, hinting at the impermanence of life's moments.


The imagery of the cityscape and nighttime setting in the lyrics add to the mood of contemplation and solitude. The flashing lights, taxi rides, and lack of reflection mirror the internal conflict and confusion the singer is experiencing. There is a sense of pondering whether one's actions are driven by immediate gratification or a greater long-term goal. The mention of living for the next day or living for a dream highlights the tension between present desires and future aspirations.


The repeated chorus reinforces the message of acceptance and finding peace within oneself, regardless of external circumstances. The idea that finding peace of mind requires looking beyond what is visible suggests a deeper introspection and understanding of one's own emotions and motivations. Overall, the lyrics of "I Don't Mind" speak to the complexities of human emotions, the temporary nature of relationships, and the importance of finding inner peace amidst life's uncertainties.


Line by Line Meaning

You can think about the woman that you knew the night before
Reflecting on past experiences can raise more questions than answers


But it only leads to questions more and more
Continuously pondering can be a never-ending cycle


You might think you know the answer but there's more than meets the eye
The truth may be deeper than what initially appears


And the absence of the reason means you're looking to the sky
Searching for meaning where there seems to be none


In the middle of the night when you are too far gone
Late-night thoughts can be distorted by exhaustion


Holding out your hand for one more try
Seeking one last chance to make things right


Flashing lights along the sidewalk as you make your way uptown
The hustle and bustle of the city can provide distraction


And the taxi takes the bridge to get you home
The journey home allows for reflection


No mirror for reflection and it gives you time to think
Without distractions, you have space to contemplate


If you're living for the next day or you're living for the dream
Questioning whether you are living in reality or fantasy


I don't mind it if you run away
I am accepting of your decision to leave


And I don't mind it if you choose to stay
I support your choice to remain


All we have is just a passing time
Life is fleeting and temporary


'Cause when you look and you don't see then you might find
Sometimes finding peace requires a different perspective


Peace of mind
Finding solace in acceptance and inner calm
