It Don't Matter
Volcano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who talks and never listens
I'm just a fool
Who's part of what is missing
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
I guess that that's my mission
I'm just a fool
Who got what he was wishin'
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
If I fall apart and miss you
If I fade and break your heart
Just walk away
It don't matter anymore
Tongue-tied and I keep on talking
Tied up and I keep on walking
I learn the same old trick today
Nothing new that I keep saying
Try to go but I just keep on staying
I oughtta run but I'd just get in my way
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
If I fall apart and miss you
If I fade and break your heart
Just walk away
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
In this song, Volcano expresses feelings of being insignificant and feeling like they do not matter. The opening lines describe the singer as a clown, who talks but never listens, and a fool who is part of what is missing. These lines imply that the singer does not feel like they are contributing anything meaningful to the world or to the people around them. The chorus repeats the phrase "it don't matter anymore," emphasizing the singer's belief that their actions and feelings are inconsequential.
The following verses continue with the theme of feeling inadequate and unimportant. The singer describes themselves as a pain and a fool who got what they wished for, implying that their desires and actions have caused harm to themselves and others. The bridge of the song expresses a sense of helplessness, as the singer feels tied up and stuck in the same patterns of thought and behavior. They wish they could run away from their problems, but they fear they would only get in their own way.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of despair and resignation. The singer feels powerless to change their circumstances and believes that their existence is ultimately meaningless.
