This song is written to my mom and is depicted in a way that it feels like I'm sending letters or messaging her.
Hello. Long time no see. I think I'm doing great. A lot has happened since I graduated. I'm just really glad I waited for this.

Me writing to my mom, expressing how I'm glad I didn't give up and stuck through school and growing up without her.
Hello. It's me again. Still think I'm doing great. So much has happened since. I studied again. I'm just doing something I might not miss.

Time has passed, this is me letting her know that I graduated from nursing school and obtained my nursing license; however, it's not something I imagined myself doing and described it as something I wouldn't miss if I stopped doing it.
Hello. It's present day. I hear they say I'm great. So much will happen now. I studied again. But now it's something I love instead.

This is me expressing to her that I'm finally devoting my time to the one thing I love and that truly passionate for: Music.
It's all in my head. Do I wish I'm dead? I'm still in my bed. Despite the last song I said..
It's all in my head. Do I wish I'm dead? I'm still in my bed. Despite the last song I said..
This line references two songs prior in the album: 11am. I'm doubting my thoughts and why I'm still here. I'm stating that I'm still in bed despite talking about waking up at 11am and breaking bad habits.
They tell me to write a song that's alright. Why can't I go left?
They tell me to write a song that's alright. Why can't I go left?
This line is a simple woe on virality and how effort does not always mean success and success doesn't always come from hard work. I'm complaining that I want to be able to write whatever kind of song I want without needing to follow trends or hit funny meme material or appease to a certain type of content form.
I know that you're sorry that you left. But hey, that's what God wanted right?

Nobody wants to leave their family, but out of frustration and being raised Christian, I begin to lash out and blame God for taking her away from us.
Hello. Wish you could see I'm great. At least I think.

The music calms and I start to see my own worth and my current position / progression in life.

You'd love the me right now. I'm glad I made it even if it's temporary again.

While I start to feel like I'm in a successful spot from my perspective, I know it may not last and that's okay. I just wish my mom could see where I am.
Hello. It's me again. To you I sing again. If only you could hear the things they all said. I'm no longer in my head.

I'm expressing that a big reason that I do anything music related is because of her. After all, she was the one who forced me and my siblings to take piano lessons. I'm confident in my own success that I wish she could see what people say about my music. I finally feel like I'm escaping a negative cycle that's been happening in my head.
