This poignant track explores the themes of regret, self-deprecation, and the desire for transformation. The lyrics suggest a sense of feeling undeserving or unworthy, as well as a struggle with personal identity and relationships. The narrator expresses a longing for things that are out of reach or not meant to be theirs, indicative of unfulfilled desires. There's a recurring theme of suffocation which could symbolize emotional overwhelm or feeling trapped within oneself. The apology for 'smothering' may indicate an acknowledgement of over-dependence or damaging behavior in relationships. The wish to have 'stayed inside' their mother suggests a yearning to return to innocence and escape from the complexities and pains of adulthood.
