Jack Stauber – Baby Hotline lyrics

I personally think it's about a person calling a suicide hotline but failed because they're put on hold (Hung up and put it on hold, My line is getting cold). Since they've been put on hold, they have thoughts of killing themselves (I won't stay more anymore, oh I don't even think about it). We can also tell that the person has been dealing with depression from the lyrics 'Wishing that the pills let you cry, and I hate coping' which means that they have used pills to cope with their depression.
I personally think that this is the song meaning, please correct me for any mistakes! This is Jack Stauber's song after all.

I always thought the song explained the death of a spouse after birth and the child survives and left for him to take care of said child and baby hotline is kinda like any other hotline but maybe for single parents that have no clue what to do or how to raise a child the line "hold me close to you" stands for most likely expresses what the man felt as he watched her leave so suddenly just having every urge in his body to hold her close hoping for it to not be true. The line baby flatline would stand for the flatline on the beep beep machine (I forget the name) and when she died. The line "still time to do it too" might stand for abortion or try again and start fresh (as in an illution like he still has time) if it is abortion he couldve not wanted the child from the beginning almost scared about parenting (yes this is a thing look it up if you must) the line "baby snack time" could stand for before the child was born (going farther into his delusions still seeing her there despite her being gone) as in it's time for a snack and hes reminding her its snack time. Now the line "chow down to earth but in your head" goes into his hallucinations deeper as if imagining he is on a date with her. "Shes a hoarder of quarters and no boundary boredom no boundary boredom" now bare with me the quarters stand for him barely scraping by money wise to take care of his child and is pretty poor and he remembers the his old spouse used to collect quarters (as if to make a good memory out of the bad one before (or trying to cope with the pain)) then he also remembers back to a time he was never bored with her but now he is always bored with his child around (cause would you rather have a baby to talk to or a full grown human being?) "I can tell that your drinking eye Has never opened" stands for addiction as in he is now drinking as a coping mechanism (it's more common than most would think) he then falls into despair that everyone will die on him just as his spouse had (it's quite a hopeless feeling I've have suffered from it before) but he hate dwelling on what happened but also cant control it "I insist somebody will die and I hate moping". The lines "wishing the pills let you cry and I hate hoping" stands for how he had been prescribed but the pills arent helping (which can be common aswell) and coping with the pain isnt any easier and he hates hoping for the pills to work despite he always still will. And last but not least "someday I will go back outside and see her ok" is him wishing she was still here with him raising their child together rather than him raising them alone. But that's just my thoughts think what ya like

Maybe it’s like the song “the riddle anthem” there is no actual meaning to the words.. the song is just there for you to make up a meaning? Besides, idk if the creator of the song will say it’s true meaning or not.. hopefully they do if the song has an actual meaning so we’re not left in confusion..

I really don't know what it means but maybe abortion like the part where "i insist someone will die" i don't
really listen to the song that much,I listen to it like one of my friends dare me too or for like memes.but i think it means abortion

So I think this song is about suicide and the suicide hotline. People dealing with depression, suicidal thoughts, etc are usually depicted as a "baby" and the song is called "Baby hotline". Then for the lyric "She's a hoarder of quarters" could be about how expensive therapy, medication, and getting help is. "Wishing that the pills let you cry and I hate coping," pills, like anti depressants, try to stop you from crying, hence the lyric. "Hung up and put on hold!" the suicide hotline puts people on hold.. a lot unfortunately, and the next line supports my statement, saying it is a hotline. Then the line, "No flatline, what were you scared about" also tells about how people just ignore it when someone is dealing with it because they aren't dead or visually hurting them self in their line of sight. Then we have the lyrics,
"Numb, feeling burning with haste
And I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste
I feel numb, I've been burning with haste
And I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste" x2
Is about how you feel numb when you have a mental illness. You just cant feel anything and realize how much life is just a huge waste.
"Sunbathe 'til the morning time
And your e-eyes
Will open wide
(What a waste)
Oh baby, nevermind
And my si-ight
Oh, run and hide"
References to how people with mental illness have a hard time getting up in the morning and are overwhelmed with things that they just dont have the energy to do anything but go back to sleep.
