Lyrics and meaning
The track's lyrics were inspired by the life of American cornetist and jazz musician Buddy Bolden,[2] and are written from the perspective of someone enduring a major depressive episode. Stereogum described the track as a "tearjerking, singalong ballad".[3] Quinlan themself told The Line of Best Fit regarding the track's meaning: "I've said it once and I'll say it again: our society wasn't built with most people in mind."[4]
