Doo doo doo do, doo doo doo do
Doo doo doo do, doo doo doo do
Doo doo doo do, doo doo doo do
Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
Do you see me, do you see?
Do you like me
Do you like me standing there?
Do you notice, do you know
Do you see me, do you see me?
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother
She'd hold me
She'd hold me when I was out there
My father, my father
He liked me, well he liked me
Does anyone care?
Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it
'Cause I liked it
When I was out there
Do you know this, do you know
You did not find me
You did not find
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother
She'd hold me
She'd hold me when I was out there
My father, my father
He liked me, well he liked me
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?

The song "Ode to my family" by The Cranberries is about the lead singer Dolores O'Riordan's childhood memories of growing up in Ireland. She reflects on the lack of attention and understanding she received as a child, and yearns for someone to truly see and care for her. The first verse sets the scene of initial confusion and disappointment, as she implores the listener not to turn away and acknowledge what she is saying. She expresses frustration with spending so much of her life feeling misunderstood, and questions whether anyone truly cares about her.
In the chorus, O'Riordan contrasts her current state of unhappiness with the carefree attitude she and her friends had as children. They didn't care about societal norms or expectations, but just lived in the moment and enjoyed life. She sings wistfully about her mother, who provided comfort and safety during her difficult times, and also about her father, who she feels loved her despite her imperfections.
The second verse delves deeper into O'Riordan's feelings of inadequacy, as she regrets not being able to achieve what others expect of her. She feels constrained by others' expectations, and yearns to return to the simpler, carefree time of her childhood.
Overall, "Ode to my family" is a poignant reflection on the value of acceptance and understanding, and the importance of feeling loved for who you are.

Unhappiness where's when I was young
I was unhappy when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
But we didn't care at the time
'Cause we were raised
Because we were brought up
To see life as fun and take it if we can
To enjoy life and seize opportunities
My mother, my mother
My mother
She'd hold me

And people everywhere think
And others judge me or have opinions about me
Something better than I am
That I'm not good enough
But I miss you, I miss
But I miss the people who cared for me
'Cause I liked it
Because I enjoyed that sense of belonging or love
When I was out there
When I was around them
Do you know this, do you know
Do you understand what I'm saying?
You did not find me
You didn't reach out to me when I was gone
You did not find
You didn't come to me
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care enough to try and find me?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care at all?
Does anyone care?
Is there anyone who actually cares?
Does anyone care?
Or am I still alone?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone really, truly care?
Does anyone care?
Or will I always be asking this question?
