Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte are the brains behind the project who met whilst working in the film industry in 2010, and the young Dutch producers here have successfully crafted a sedated, deep sound that maybe one day the kids will label as heroin-step or something.
Doesn't Do Anything
Weval Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you don′t feel anything
You hold on us sometimes
Can't help it at all
In a city that dies
You sweep from my mind
I′m tired of swirling and drying
Give it back tomorrow which is not
But you doesn't need a thing
You smile and then they'll see a new thing
Telling goodbye
Doesn′t do anything
Doesn′t do anything
It doesn't do anything
Doesn′t do anything
Doesn't do anything
Doesn′t do anything
It doesn't do anything
Doesn′t do anything
The lyrics to Weval's song "Doesn't Do Anything" are quite melancholic and contemplative in nature. The song seems to be an introspective exploration of the feelings associated with being stuck in a stagnant and unfulfilling situation.
The first line of the song, "You see anything you could be, but you don't feel anything", suggests a sense of disillusionment with oneself and a feeling of being disconnected from one's own desires and aspirations. This feeling is further emphasized in the next line, "You hold on us sometimes, can't help it at all", which could be interpreted as feeling trapped in a certain situation or relationship.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of change and letting go, as seen in the lines "I'm tired of swirling and drying, I will step from your mind, give it back tomorrow which is not". There is a sense of fatigue and weariness that stems from the constant struggles and attempts to break free from the stagnancy. However, the singer reassures themselves by acknowledging that they don't really need anything to be happy, as seen in the lines "You doesn't need a thing, you smile and then they'll see a new thing, telling goodbye".
Overall, the song seems to be a contemplative exploration of one's internal struggles with stagnation and the need for change. The lyrics suggest a desire to break free from the monotony and find a new purpose or direction.
