Don't Care
The Mans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Same old story once again
Ignorance my long lost foe, my strangest friend
I know it's so easy when you find someone to blame
I know I'll keep moving on time and time again
I'm a drifter, I am uninvited
In exile until the end
My favorite friend
Complaints and excuses
This titles undisputed
It's easy and stupid
Ingrained and deeply rooted
I know it's so easy when you find someone to blame
I know I'll keep moving on time and time again
I'm a drifter, I am unsuspected
In exile until the end
I'm indifferent I don't care if you don't care
My favorite friend
The Man's song "Don't Care" is a rebellious and unapologetic take on relationships and casual sex. The lyrics indicate that the singer is no longer invested in their partner's actions or relationships with others, and that they are only thinking of them when they drink. In fact, the singer is so indifferent towards their partner that they simply state "I don't care" repeatedly, emphasizing their unattached perspective. The aggressive "1-2, 1-2 FUCK YOU!" near the end of the song only adds to the overall disinterest and hostility of the singer.
The message of "Don't Care" is not necessarily advocating for this style of detachment in relationships, but rather showcasing the mentality of someone who is completely over their partner and ready to move on. The lyrics convey a level of bitterness and hurt that the singer is masking with a careless attitude. The driving guitar and intense beat of the song further enforce the angst and urgency of the message.
