It Don't Matter
Love's Fragile Dance: Rascal Martinez's 'It Don't Matter' Unveiled
Lyrics
It don't matter now
It doesn't matter at this moment
Waking all around the world
Being awake and aware of events happening globally
It don't matter now
Reiterating that the current situation or circumstances are not significant
Everybody's running around – catching the leaves
People are frantically busy, possibly chasing trivial things or being caught up in the moment
Oh you oughta see
Expressing that there are noteworthy things to witness
It don't matter now
Reaffirming the insignificance of the situation or events
Your burning all the things I love
Someone is destroying or getting rid of things the speaker holds dear
It don't matter now
Emphasizing that the current matter is not important
Your holding onto the kids too long – settle down
Someone is overly possessive of children and needs to relax or let go
Oh settle down
Encouraging someone to calm down or settle their emotions
I've been dreaming of you
The speaker has been thinking about the person being addressed
All the times we had, me and you
Reflecting on past experiences shared with the individual
I told you to tell me real soon
Asking for timely honesty or truth from the person
I was feeling lonely like you
Feeling lonely and relating to the addressee's emotions
You just remember my heart – when you break it in two
Asking the person to be mindful of the speaker's feelings when they hurt them
It don't matter now
Reasserting the insignificance of the current situation
Your holding on way to long
Someone is holding onto something for too long
It don't matter now
Reiterating the unimportance of the present matter
Somebody's singing that song all alone
Someone is singing a song alone, possibly indicating solitude or separation
Oh just all alone
Emphasizing the isolation or loneliness of the individual singing
It don't matter now
Restating the lack of importance of the current situation
Your running from the things you love
Someone is avoiding things they care about
It don't matter now
Reiterating the insignificance of the present matter
Your telling everyone you know – runaround
Someone is spreading information or gossiping about running around
Oh just runaround
Emphasizing the continuous running or movement without purpose
I've been dreaming of you
Reflecting on the speaker's dreams about the person being addressed
All the times we had, me and you
Recalling shared experiences between the speaker and the addressee
I told you to tell me real soon
Asking for timely honesty or truth from the person
I was feeling lonely like you
Feeling lonely and empathizing with the addressee's emotions
You just remember my heart – when you break it in two
Requesting the addressee to be mindful of the speaker's feelings when they hurt them
You just remember my heart – when you break it in two
Repeatedly requesting the addressee to remember the speaker's heart when causing pain
