I Dont Really Mind
Tame Impala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aloud like it makes so
Much difference to me.
Huffing, puffing, marching
Around like I know how
Much better it should be.
I know it looks like I disagree
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
Childhood puppy is old and
Gruff, your mother wants to
Give him away.
Pillar of strength was lifted
Off his deathbed,
Three weeks ago today.
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
The lyrics to "I Don’t Really Mind" by Tame Impala describe the singer's indifferent attitude towards life events that may seem significant to others. The first verse talks about how the singer perceives people around them to be overreacting or making a big deal out of things that don't matter much in the grand scheme of things. The second verse describes a situation where someone dear to the singer has passed away, but the singer doesn't seem to be affected by it. The use of the phrase "But I don't really mind" repeats throughout the song, underscoring the singer's detachment and disinterest towards what is happening around them.
It's possible that the song is a commentary on the way people tend to be swayed by the ebbs and flows of their emotions, which can often be seen as irrational or unnecessary. The singer seems to be preoccupied with the idea of how people react to events, rather than the events themselves. In this sense, the lyrics suggest a sense of detachment from the world and a desire to observe it from a distance without getting caught up in it.

Makes me feel as if I were sleepwalking.
I am walking asleep across my house.
It's dark, but purple lights live inside my eyes.
My feet allow me to fly across the forest of my mundane journey.
My hair flaps around, like that of an angel.
I go to the kitchen and eat Froot Loops. My teeth are left covered in colourful sugar.
