Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've got nothing to prove but it's just who I am
But it's the same old rain, no I won't back down
These satellites overhead, I think I love this town
But you made yourself a home inside my mind
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I was just thinking of you
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
No I've got nothing to lose except everything you are
I'm not looking at the moon, I'm staring at the stars
But it's the same old rain, no I won't back down
These satellites overhead, I think I love this town
But you made yourself a home inside my mind
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I was just thinking of you
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I was just thinking of you
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
Oh this is everything I had in mind
I finally got away, finally got away
Oh this is everything I had in mind
I finally got away, finally got a way
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I was just thinking of you
I feel alive inside, oh finally, I feel alive inside
Don't mind me
Don't mind me

In "Don't Mind Me", Walking On Cars sings about the feeling of being lost in one's thoughts while still being present with someone. The lyrics communicate that the singer of the song has no ulterior motives and is sincerely thinking about the person present in the moment with them. Regardless, they can't help but feel distracted by the presence of that person in their thoughts. The lines "But you made yourself a home inside my mind" and "I'm not looking at the moon, I'm staring at the stars" suggest that the singer is deeply fond of the person they're thinking about. Even though they've got "nothing to lose except everything [they] have," the singer seems willing to take a chance and embrace the feeling of being alive inside, even if it may lead to new losses.
The chorus, "Don't mind me, I was just thinking of you" is both a reassurance - the singer doesn't want to be seen as a distraction - and a request to be allowed to think about the person in question. There's a sense of vulnerability to the song's lyrics, with the singer admitting to feeling lost and frenzied by their emotions. In the bridge of the song, the tone shifts dramatically as the singer seems to have gotten away, finally experiencing the freedom that they were searching for.
Overall, "Don't Mind Me" is a poignant examination of the depths of human emotion - the highs and lows of wanting to be present in the moment while constantly battling the distractions in one's mind, the feeling of vulnerability and yet the hope that comes with it.
Here are ten interesting facts about "Don't Mind Me"
