With “Doesn’t Really Matter”, Le Baron de Vezeline and Freddy Kroegher have made a remarkable contribution to the indie rock and rock-pop genre that goes far beyond musical conventions. The song is not a simple melody with lyrics – it is a sarcastic manifesto about the postmodern attitude to life that oscillates between excessive demands, loss of meaning and emotional alienation.
Formally, the song oscillates between melancholic melodies and eruptive moments that seem like an inner outcry – a “bitter-sweet scream” directed against the absurdity of a world in which even the taste of cocoa or the disappearance of a duckling becomes an existential crisis. The musical structure supports this ambivalence: harmonically accessible but never pleasing, rhythmically driving but never hectic – a soundtrack to inner disorientation.
In terms of content, the lyrics shine with their absurd logic, in which banal everyday observations are equated with global catastrophes and moral dilemmas. The fact that we’re seeing both the trivial and the tragic at the same time isn’t a coincidence. It’s a sign of a world where it’s getting harder and harder to find our way. The recurring refrain “Doesn’t really matter” is not a nihilistic capitulation, but a resigned commentary on the complexity of a reality that defies any clear interpretation.
The song’s unique selling point is that it utilises irony not as a means of evasion, but as a tool for critical analysis. The lyrics expose social norms, familial expectations and emotional blunting – not with pathos, but with sharp wit and poetic precision. The song’s real strength lies in this mixture of sarcasm and longing, comedy and despair: it is a mirror of a generation that is searching for something real between digital sensory overload and emotional emptiness – and often no longer recognizes itself in the mirror.
“Doesn’t Really Matter” is a clever, musically haunting commentary on the human condition in the 21st century.
