Doesn't Matter Much
Discovering Purpose Beyond Expectations: "Doesn't Matter Much" by Blood Red Shoes
Lyrics
Have it your way
Expressing willingness to accommodate someone else's preferences or decisions.
We'll have the answers in a week
Commitment to provide answers within a specific timeframe (a week).
We'll take some measurements
Planning to gather data or information through measurements.
And work it out with the sums
Intending to solve a problem using mathematical calculations (sums).
'Coz their way, what a way
Critiquing another approach, emphasizing the uniqueness of their own way.
Anyhow it doesn't matter much
Minimizing the importance of the situation, suggesting it doesn't matter much.
'Coz their way, what a way
Reiterating the criticism of another approach and its perceived insignificance.
Anyhow now it's got stuck, it just wasn't enough
Highlighting a problem or failure that has occurred, indicating dissatisfaction.
Low low low, low low low
Repetition of "low" suggests a sense of being down or in a negative state.
Find a reason why, find a reason why
Encouraging the listener to find a reason for their current emotional state.
Pay attention son
Giving advice or guidance to someone, likely younger (son).
You might learn something
Emphasizing the potential for learning from the advice given.
You work real hard at it
Highlighting the importance of hard work in achieving success.
And just look what you could be
Suggesting the positive outcomes that can result from hard work.
You soak it up
Encouraging absorption of advice, despite a sense that something is missing.
Every word of advice, still it's missing
Recognizing the gap or inadequacy in the received advice.
You're searching for something so invisible
Searching for something intangible or elusive.
Raise your glasses to cheer for what you're not
Sarcastically toasting to celebrate something one is not or doesn't possess.
Low low low, low low low
Repetition of "low" reinforces a sense of negativity or dissatisfaction.
Find a reason why, find a reason why I...
Encouraging the listener to find a reason for their emotional state (repeated).
