Lyrics: Stuck between "I don't know" and "I don't care" And "I don't give a fuck" (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh) I'm so young, but I'm broke And feelin' like I'm runnin' out of love (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh) The song "IDGAF" by Bren Joy explores the emotions of someone who is feeling lost and disillusioned in their relationships and life in general. The lyrics depict a sense of confusion and apathy towards love and personal circumstances. The protagonist expresses a lack of understanding when it comes to matters of the heart. They are torn between not knowing what to do or feeling indifferent and not caring about the outcome. They also convey a sense of exhaustion, feeling young but financially struggling and running out of love. The artist touches upon the theme of love deceiving them, as they feel like love has always lied to them in the past. They use poetic expression to convey their emotions, suggesting that they've been hurt before and are guarded as a result. The lyrics also address societal expectations of masculinity and how they often pressure individuals to suppress their feelings and deal with their circumstances without showing vulnerability. The protagonist is instructed to "be a man" by others, implying that they should ignore their emotions and cope with their struggles without expressing themselves. The song hints at the struggle of finding genuine love and the idea that perhaps the protagonist's destiny is predetermined. They contemplate changing their image or appearance to improve their chances of finding love. The message is conveyed through the suggestion that people judge others based on external factors, like the shoes they wear. Overall, "IDGAF" explores the conflicting emotions of not knowing, not caring, and feeling emotionally drained. It touches upon the challenges of navigating relationships, societal expectations, and personal struggles, ultimately reflecting a sense of disillusionment and the desire to break free from society's pressures.
