Never Mind
Finding Joy Beyond Absence: BadBoiCardo's 'Never Mind'
Lyrics
Love that surrounds you
Love is surrounding the speaker
It's kinda nice I found you
The speaker expresses satisfaction in finding someone special
For a while, for a while
A sense of temporal duration, possibly referring to the duration of the relationship
But I speak to much
The speaker admits to being talkative
And I think too fast
The speaker acknowledges quick thinking
All my 'motions hit
Emotions from the past affect the speaker
From the past
Reference to emotional baggage or experiences
King Doubt waves his wand
Introduces the metaphor of "King Doubt" and his influence
Just like friends, I'm gone
Similarities between the departure of friends and the impact of doubt
Never mind
The speaker suggests dismissing certain thoughts or concerns
What's the point?
Raising questions about the purpose or significance of something
If I can't see your face
If the speaker cannot see the joy on someone's face, it questions the point
That brings me joy
The joy brought by seeing the person's face is emphasized
Never mind
The speaker repeats the idea of disregarding certain things
I don't want to joy
Expresses a lack of interest in joy without seeing the person's face
If I can't see your face
Reiterates the importance of seeing the person's face for joy
Then what's the point
Raising questions about the purpose or significance without seeing the face
You've been so kind
Expresses gratitude and acknowledges the kindness of the person
You're a friend of mine
Confirms a friendly relationship
I love you baby
Declaration of love for the person
Loved you all the time (oh why?)
Questions why the love is expressed only now
'Cuse my reach this happens all the time
The speaker apologizes for reaching out, suggesting it happens frequently
I just thought you want this heart of mine
The speaker thought the person wanted their heart
Everytime you say goodbye (whatcha do a lil?)
The pain and loss experienced every time the person says goodbye
A little piece dies inside (whatcha do a lil?)
The emotional impact of goodbyes, symbolized by a piece dying inside
I tell my pride goodbye (whatcha do a lil?)
The speaker chooses to let go of pride when saying goodbye
I have no fears inside
Expresses fearlessness in the face of goodbyes
Never mind
The speaker repeats the idea of dismissing certain thoughts or concerns
Never mind
The speaker concludes with a final "never mind," emphasizing the theme of dismissal
