Lyrics
I wish the whole world was my Mother
The speaker desires the world to be like a mother to provide comfort.
So she could make me feel okay
Expresses a wish for the world to offer solace and reassurance.
And she could read me bedtime stories
Imagines the world telling bedtime stories, symbolizing nurturing and care.
At the end of every god intended day
Desires a peaceful conclusion to each day, as intended by a higher power.
I'm not getting any younger
Reflects on the passage of time and aging.
And the whole world's going mad
Observes a chaotic world and the speaker's growing concerns.
Tonight I'll make a bigger dinner
Uses dinner as a distraction from negative thoughts.
To distract me from the bad
Seeking solace through daily activities to counteract negativity.
I know nothing real is perfect
Acknowledges imperfections in reality but finds the current situation extreme.
But this is just absurd
Expresses frustration through the absurdity of the speaker's experiences.
I've been writing all these letters
The act of writing letters as a form of therapy or expression.
Just praying they'll make words
Hopes that the act of writing will bring clarity or relief.
I grew up on zero sugar
Recalls a childhood without sweetness, possibly symbolic of hardship.
And bringing myself down
Engages in self-deprecating behavior and negative self-talk.
I'm not encouraged by my friendships
Expresses disappointment in friendships affecting artistic pursuits.
They scare the art out of my hands
Friends are seen as hindrances to the speaker's creative endeavors.
I'd rather build a sand dune cabin
Values solitude and nature over collaborative songwriting.
Than write a new song with the band
Preferably builds a solitary sand dune cabin than creating music with others.
I know nothing real is perfect
Reiterates the imperfections in reality, emphasizing their extremity.
But this is just absurd
Expresses frustration through the repetition of the extreme nature of reality.
I've been writing all these letters
Continues the theme of therapeutic letter-writing for emotional release.
Just praying they'll make words
Hopeful that writing will transform into meaningful words.
I grew up on zero sugar
Reiterates a challenging upbringing with the absence of sweetness.
And bringing myself down
Continues self-deprecating behavior and negative self-talk.
Bringing myself down
Repeats the act of bringing oneself down, emphasizing the pattern.
I'm holding on to heartache swimming circles in my mind
Describes a struggle with heartache and a desire for a different reality where loss is not inevitable.
I wish sad was an illusion losing people was a crime
-I'm holding on to heartache swimming circles in my mind
-I wish sad was an illusion losing people was a crime
-I'm holding on to heartache swimming circles in my mind
-I wish sad was an illusion losing people was a crime
-I wish the whole world was my Mother
Reiterates the desire for the world to provide comfort and reassurance.
So she could make me feel okay
Expresses the wish for a comforting motherly presence.
And she could read me bedtime stories
Imagines bedtime stories as a source of comfort and closure.
At the end of every god intended day
Desires a peaceful conclusion to each day, in line with a divine plan.
