Say You Don't Mind
Redemption in Melody: Unveiling the Depths of 'Say You Don't Mind'
Lyrics
I realize that I've been in your eye some kind of fool
I acknowledge that I've appeared foolish in your eyes.
What I do, what I did, stupid fish I drank the pool
I made some mistakes, metaphorically drinking from the wrong pool like a naive fish.
I've been doing some dying
I've experienced hardships or emotional pain.
Now I'm doing some trying
I'm now making an effort to change or improve.
So say you don't mind, you don't mind
Expressing a hope that you won't be bothered by my previous actions.
You'll let me off this time.
Asking for forgiveness or understanding this time.
I came into this scene when my dreams were getting bad
I entered a situation during a difficult period in my life.
And who rides with the tide and who's glad with what it had?
Reflecting on those who go along with the flow and those content with what they have.
I've been doing some whinning
I've been complaining or expressing dissatisfaction.
Now I'm doing some finding
I'm now discovering or achieving something positive.
So say you don't mind, you don't mind
Requesting assurance that you won't mind or hold it against me.
You'll let me off this time.
Reiterating the hope for forgiveness this time.
To you I'm blind
Expressing a sense of ignorance or obliviousness to your feelings.
Somethin' inside
Indicating an internal struggle or conflict.
Say you don't mind.
Repeating the request for understanding or acceptance.
I've been doing some dying
Reiterating experiences of hardship or emotional pain.
Now I'm doing some trying
Continuing efforts to change or improve.
Hey say you don't mind, you don't mind
Requesting assurance of no judgment or resentment.
You'll let me off this time
Repeating the hope for forgiveness, emphasizing the current time.
For this time, oh this time
Emphasizing the urgency of being forgiven this time.
You'll let me off this time.
Reiterating the request for forgiveness in the present moment.
To you I'm blind
Expressing a sense of not fully understanding or seeing the impact of actions.
Somethin' inside
Referring to an internal struggle or conflicting emotions.
Say you don't mind.
Repeating the plea for understanding or acceptance.
Well it gets you so bad that a door mat sees better times
Describing a situation where things have gotten so bad that even a doormat would have a better perspective.
There's time to get back and think up some better line
Suggesting a need to step back, reconsider, and come up with a better approach or explanation.
I've been doing some growing
Acknowledging personal growth, but expressing fear of the other person leaving.
But I'm scared of you going
Admitting apprehension about the possibility of the other person moving on.
So say you don't mind, you don't mind
Requesting reassurance and understanding in the face of this fear.
You'll let me off this time
Reiterating the hope for forgiveness, emphasizing the present moment.
You'll let me off this time.
Repeating the plea for forgiveness in the current situation.
