And that fear, sometimes, sometimes you watch it happen
You can see yourself sitting there
And you're looking back and you can see the future
What do you do?
Keep making art?
The lyrics of the song "Didn't Matter Still Doesn't" by killedmyself talk about the fear of losing one's mind, which is every artist's worst fear. The fear is so strong at times that the artist can see themselves sitting there looking back at themselves and seeing their future. The song questions what should an artist do in this situation- keep making art or stop and take a break? The fear of losing one's sanity can be daunting, and sometimes no amount of art can keep the fear at bay. The song presents the struggle of an artist in coming to terms with the fear of losing oneself while still finding the strength to keep creating art.
