Benee Doesn’t Matter

What have the artists said about the song?

It seems like a very long time since I’ve released any music. This year has been very difficult for me and many other people, and I’ve had times that I’ve really felt my lowest.I wrote ‘Doesn’t Matter’ during one of these periods when I felt truly overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck. I was diagnosed with OCD, which actually helped me understand myself better.

This song ponders on what it would be like to feel truly carefree and how much easier life would be. Sometimes, it’s hard for people who don’t suffer from anxiety or depression to really understand what it’s like for us. People telling you not to worry or saying ‘It doesn’t matter’ don’t understand that it’s not that simple. Having had help to learn how to deal with my own anxiety and depression, I want others to know that there is a way through.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mmm, what’s it like
To not have to think about it?
It seems nice
Not a care, so quiet
Maybe I’m consumed by my mental
Does it hurt me? Maybe, oh, well
If I medicate, would it help me?
‘Cause I’m hurting, I feel unwell

[Pre-Chorus]
You know how I feel
You’ve told me before
Although my fears are real
The things I fear are not

[Chorus]
I know it doesn’t matter
I know it doesn’t matter
None of this even matters
I know it doesn’t matter
I know it doesn’t matter
None of this even matters

[Verse 2]
Check that
Have to check that the oven is off
This happens every night
Sometimes you tell me off
Maybe I’m consumed by my mental
Does it hurt me? Maybe, oh, well
If I medicate, would it help me?
‘Cause I’m hurting, I feel unwell

[Pre-Chorus]
You know how I feel
You’ve told me before
Although my fears are real
The things I fear are not

[Chorus]
I know it doesn’t matter
I know it doesn’t matter
None of this even matters
I know it doesn’t matter
I know it doesn’t matter
None of this even matters

[Verse 3]
You say
“Why are you thinking these things?” (These things)
How do I even explain? (Explain)
“You’re scared of almost everything” (Everything)
I know and it’s really a drain (A drain)
Hide under a pillow (Pillow)
Something’s at the window (Window)
I’m too scared to check though
Now I’m crossing my fingers
Flicking off the switches
Is my house filled with witches?

[Outro]
What is my mind?
What is it like
To unwind?
What’s it like?
