I'm Not Concerned
Unfazed Redemption: Worm Ceiling's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
Everyone loves a redemption story
Recognition that people appreciate stories of redemption.
But nobody ever likes the journey
Highlighting the dislike for the challenging and difficult aspects of the journey towards redemption.
You didn't like me at my worst
Reference to a lack of support during difficult times.
So at my best you don't get to worry
Asserting that those who didn't support during tough times shouldn't expect involvement in better times.
Where I'm at, who I'm with, what I'm doing now
Indifference to the current state, company, and activities of the person being addressed.
Self-centered, self-absorbed and you're drowning now
Critical view of the person's self-centered and self-absorbed nature, possibly leading to consequences.
I can't believe you're crawling back
Surprise or disbelief at the person's attempt to reconcile.
Tryna sweet talk your way back again
Not receptive to persuasive or sweet-talking attempts to reconcile.
I'm Not Concerned, because you don't exist to me no more
Explicit statement of non-concern and detachment from the person.
I'm Not Concerned, you were never a real friend to me the door
Affirmation that the person was never a genuine friend.
Is closed on you, you won't be using me no more
Closure and decision to not allow the person back into one's life.
I'm Not Concerned, so don't you concern yourself with me
Reiteration of non-concern and a request for the person to not involve themselves.
Everybody loves the rebels antics
Observation of society's fascination with rebellious behavior.
But nobody ever has the patience
Noting the lack of patience in dealing with a rebellious individual.
To deal with him more than once a day
Highlighting the limited tolerance for the antics of a rebel.
Once a week, or even once a month
Extending the idea of limited patience to various time intervals.
Everybody speaks of revolution
Recognition of widespread talk about revolution.
But nobody ever goes to do it
Noting the lack of action or commitment to revolutionary ideals.
To scared to step outside themselves
Attributing the reluctance to engage in activism to fear and self-centeredness.
To hit the streets, or do the work
Expressing hesitation to take real-world action or put in the effort.
Again:
Reiteration of non-concern, emphasizing the lack of significance of the person.
I'm Not Concerned, because you don't exist to me no more
Repeat of the declaration of non-concern for emphasis.
I'm Not Concerned, you were never a real friend to me the door
Reiteration of the person's lack of true friendship.
Is closed on you, you won't be using me no more
Confirmation of the decision to close the door on the person.
I'm Not Concerned, so don't you concern yourself with me
Reaffirmation of non-concern and a request for the person to stay away.
With me
Repeated emphasis on the lack of concern and the desire for the person to keep their distance.
With me

-I'm Not Concerned, so don't you concern yourself with me
-I'm Not Concerned, so don't you concern yourself with me
-I'm Not Concerned, so don't you concern yourself with me
-I'm Not Concerned, so don't you concern yourself with me
-With me
-With me
-With me
Final emphasis on non-concern and the request for the person to stay away.
