Lyrics
Something strange happened to me
Something unusual or unexpected happened to me
All I ever wanted, it was nothing I need
Everything I desired turned out to be unnecessary; I didn't need it
It doesn't matter to me
I am indifferent; it holds no significance to me
It don't matter to me
It holds no importance or relevance to me
When I said that I'm okay
When I claimed to be fine or alright
All the power that you had, it just slipped away
The control or influence you once had slipped away
It doesn't matter to me
It's of no consequence to me
It don't matter to me
It holds no importance to me
Take the ride
Accept the journey or experience
Take the ride, take the ride
Emphasizing the need to embrace the experience
Take the ride, take the ride
Repeated emphasis on taking the journey
Take the ride
Encouragement to engage in the experience
Oh
Expressing emotion or realization
Always gotta climb the ladder
There's always a need to strive for success
Someone else will always do it, they'll do it better
Others may excel or perform better
Here's your prize for competition
Recognition or reward for engaging in competition
They would die for your position
Others would go to extremes for your position or achievement
Everything I thought I wanted
Things I believed I wanted
I can see it's nothing, nothing I need
Realization that those things are unnecessary
I'm not gonna ask permission
I won't seek approval or consent
I'll never ask permission
Emphasis on not needing permission
Take the ride
Encouragement to embark on the experience
Take the ride, take the ride
Repeated encouragement to partake in the journey
Take the ride, take the ride
Repeated emphasis on taking the journey
Take the ride
Encouragement to engage in the experience
Oh
Expressing emotion or realization
