But who cares?

So I've really liked the song "Who Cares" by Gnarls Barkley since I first heard it over the summer. I wish I had an elaborate story or side anecdote about where I was or what I was doing when I first heard it, but unfortunately, I don't. What I can say is that it has proven to be one of those songs that I bump hard and know every word to, yet I later realize that I don't fully understand its meaning until I find myself relating it to myself. I have a new appreciation for it now and something tells me that I'm not the only one who's felt like this at some point in their life. Just to give you a little bit more of me, I'll highlight the parts that I felt the most. (shout out to Cee Lo and Danger Mouse)

Gnarls Barkley - Who Cares?

Basically I'm complicated
I have a hard time taking the easy way
I wouldn't call it schizophrenia
But I'll be at least 2 people today
If that's okay

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

It's deep how you can be so shallow
And I'm afraid cause I have no fear
And I didn't believe in magic
Until I watched you disappear
I wish you where here

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

You see, everybody is somebody
But nobody wants to be themselves
and If I ever wanted to understand me
I'd have to talk to someone else
Cause every little bit helps

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

Feels like... the surreal life
But it's still nice
Wish I could live twice
but I still might
if these bones heal right
I see a little light
even though it's still night
(repeat)

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?
