🤡 Jack Stauber - jackstauber.bandcamp.com/ / jackstauber open.spotify.com/artist/1vVHe... jackstauber.tumblr.com/popfood I do not own the music in this video.
I feel like a lot of people miss the true meaning of the song. The *singer* isn't the one who's crying, he's the emotional support. This song is about the stress and pain and confusion that comes with being essentially a free therapist for someone you love
I hear those eyes and I see those cries... I can't be the only one who hears you. Feels like a hug from your stressed/depressed father while you're having a depressive episode.
This song seems to talk about the fears that someone has and how their special one sees it from outside. In it, there are some references to how the person that’s referred to in the song tries to go outside, to parties and stuff, but gets lonely and ends up being the “Saddest little baby in the room” so their special one tries to comfort them, listening to their fears, which also kind of damages them, “Get a little grey hair for every scare they share” *Set the phasers to rot* A play on the Star Trek phrase ‘set the phasers to stun’. Replacing the word ‘stun’ with ‘rot’ implies the damage that can be done in more implicit ways, as with low mood or personal conflict. *What has got you distraught?* *It’s negative attention at best* *But call it nothing* *Maybe it’s something, a little bit, a little bit* *Maybe it’s something to do a little bit* The speaker is comforting their friend, but they don’t know why their friend is feeling this way and feel like they’re blowing a situation out of proportion, so in trying to comfort them they’re telling their friend that what they’re upset about is really nothing. *It’s all about ascension, I guess* The narrator feels like they might only be comforting their friend for fear of being a bad person. If they are not kind enough, they might not ascend to heaven. Alternate interpretation: In the previous line the singer admits that there might be something to their friends worries saying “Maybe it’s something, a little bit”. In this line the singer uses the line “It’s all about ascension” to reference simply moving past, and not dwelling on the problems. They themselves don’t know how to fix their friends problems (like when they next say “I guess”, but still want to be there for them. *Don’t put me to rest* The singer doesn’t want their friend to ‘put them to rest’, or ignore their aid. They want to help their friend as much as they can. *Go on and hand me your clothes* *(O-oh, here you go)* *Take a picture or two* *(Two or three?)* *I can see you* *(Oh)* Nudity is often a symbol of vulnerability. The narrator can see the full, unfiltered self of the other person. *Tears falling down at the party* *Saddest little baby in the room* *Fears, tell me fears, don't get me started* *I get a little gray hair for every scare you share* Grey hairs are often thought to be caused by stress. The narrator feels overburdened by the emotional weight that their partner has placed on them, causing the narrator to feel so stressed. White hair also refers to old age, so we can also interpret that the narrator’s partner has so many problems that it would take a lifetime to point them all out. *Those aren't meant to bend* *No, those aren't meant to bend* *Those aren't meant to bend* No, those aren't meant to bend* The narrator is “bending over backwards” for their friend. They are sacrificing their own mental well being to help this person and it’s not healthy. Relationships aren’t supposed to drain you to this extent, that’s why emotional boundaries are so important. “Bend someone’s ear” is an informal phrase for talking to someone for a long time. An example from Merriam Webter is “He didn’t really care about me, he just wanted to bend my ear about his own problems.” Here, the narrator tells this person that they do not have to share every single one of his trauma or problem, perhaps because it makes them feel uncomfortable or perhaps all that sharing occurs at the expense of the person listening * *hear your eyes and I see those cries* *I hear those eyes and I see those cries* *I can't be the only one who hears you* The speaker does not want to be their friend’s only source of comfort or help because it’s taking a toll on them mentally (they keep getting little grey hairs). It could be also that the speaker sees that no one else notices that their friend is not okay
I think that this song revolves around the external perspective of someone watching their loved one go through something hard on their mental state, and what it does to them too. The speaker remains an outside view for the entire musical piece, always talking about hearing, seeing, and listening to the troubled subject. While they try to be supportive, always hearing the stresses of the other instills fear and exhaustion into the listener. “Fears, tell me fears, don’t get me started..” alone tells many tales. The speaker is telling the other their fears, while the listener themselves has their own worries about them. “I get a little grey hair for every scare you share” suggests that the fear and stress are wearing them out. While this does technically handle two ‘Characters’, the song is primarily focused on the listener trying to take care of the other. The person who’s like this does not only hear you, hears you with his permission, and monitors the expressions of your face, the movements of your eyes, the gestures of your body, and the dismemberment of your words. And not only he takes this information, no. He takes it and treats it deeply with his brain.
"Tears falling down at the party, saddest little baby in the room" just reminds me of overstimulation at school, parties, social gatherings, etc. where nobody else understands why you're crying or how you're feeling as an autistic person in a neurotypical world. I feel like this song can hold so many meanings for so many different people and I'm here for all of it.
Exactly how I feel. I have a hard time struggling to not start crying in the middle of class while I'm at school, I'm so conscious about myself and what people think about me and it's frustrating, everytime my friends makes fun of my appearance I can't help but feel that there's something actually wrong with me. Each insult is another reason to hate myself. I barate myself for the smallest mistakes. I'm so anxious on how other's view me.I don't have the mental capacity left to deal with it and I'm extremely tired of it. I relate to this song very well, I am the "saddest baby in the room" thats exactly how I see myself.
I can relate to this. At my birthday parties I also always cried when my best friend spent more time with my other friends because I felt like she didn’t like me as much as them since I was “different”. Whenever someone didn’t give me attention I felt that my existence was useless and I had no reason to live. (Yes I was messed up as a child and everyone just said I was being dramatic when I told people how I felt.)
I don't know why, but with a lot of Jack Stauber's music, he's able to make the song seem so nostalgic to a moment that we have or never have lived, especially with this song. And the synth and the chorus at 1:19 is the definition of this what I'm feeling
This song isn't just a song. It's a story. You can just take all the lyrics and turn it into a fully detailed image and you can tell the story without singing it.
"Tears falling down at the party" "Saddest Little Baby in the room" "Fears tell me fears" "Don't get me started" "I might die.." JACK STAUBER CONFIRMED KNOWS FNAF LORE-
Stauber's music is the epitome of "The crazy comforts the crazed and scares the sane" or something like that. There's a certain comfort to the nonsensical rhythm for those who have experienced certain things versus those who haven't. I too, have been the saddest little baby in the room. It's a way for me to cope, as I'm sure it is for a lot of others :)
Jack Stauber is one of the artists that really saved my life. When ever I'd have depressive episodes and contemplate suicide. I'd just listen to music.
Others said that this song is creepy..?? i think the song sound cute and calming, but when you focus to the lyrics you realize how sad it actually is, and the story its trying to tell.
I really like the line "I hear those eye, and I see those cries" something about it says to me that someone is witnessing your struggle, but not in the right way. watching you cry but not hearing what you're trying to say, hearing what you're saying but not reading the subtext on your face.
эта песня...с ней связано столько,так много воспоминаний,это то что помогало мне проходить депрессивный этап в моей жизни,она как кусочек моего сердца,очень рада что наткнулась на неё
I love it when he sings "Tears falling down at the party, saddest little baby in the room" because it reminds me of that comforting fatherly love that you don't really hear a lot about, the feeling of just crying out buckets and your dad just being there, hugging you and patting your back
It makes me feel like an emotion like I was happy until a certain thing or person came into my life and ruined it and I slowly see the world crumble before my eyes....what did you feel?
Jack has mastered the art of making me feel the opposite emotion to the one he's conveying in his songs. This sounds sad as hell, yet it makes me feel hella upbeat when I listen to it, and all his spookier songs make me feel more chilled out than normal
"Tears falling down at the party, saddest little baby in the room" It was my birthday, i was just turning 7. All of my relatives, aunts, and uncles were there, but most importantly, my most favorite aunt was there. I was so excited to see her see me blow out my candles. But once the time came, she wasn't there. I looked around the house, but stayed close to the main room. I heard a thud in my bedroom, so i went to investigate. What i saw would haunt me for the rest of my life. It was my aunt, dead on the ground with blood splattered on the floor, a gun right beside her. I started screaming and sobbing, and most of the party went in to investigate. My mom called the ambulance, but they said she couldn't make it.
I feel this song on a deeper level. It’s about loving someone who doesn’t love themselves and desperately trying to fix them. But you can’t. It’ll just hurt the both of you.
Lemme admit this I haven't seen anyone else say; This song radiates pure abusive/gaslighter energy. Atleast that's what I feel, when I listen to it, someone who is mentally destructive toward what a friend calls them "friend".
My interpretation of the song is someone overburdened with helping other people. Because he always listens to other people's problems and can't share his pain with them because he's afraid he'll make him look weak, or not as confident as they think. The part "I can't be the only one who hears you" got me thinking about this, that people always turn to him and only him when they're in trouble, but never ask how he is or feels. Well, just my interpretation
i feel as if this song is connected to the scary backstory of baby-hotline if u didn't know the song was based on jacks girlfriend who committed well she took her own life the song also says on what jacks girlfriend liked to do like collect quarters.jacks girlfriend tried to contact the take ur own life hotline but they wont answer thus she ded. if you look at the lyrics for oh klahoma and the lyric for baby hotline if you lisen and look at the lyric closely it might connect but its my opinion. tell me if u accpect
This song hits me so deep♡ I always interpreted it as someone dealing with anxiety and how even when opening up to someone close they will never truly understand how you feel.
Recently a close friend of mine and I have stopped talking. I don't know why, but suddenly our conversations just grew short and it's now been like 6 weeks without talking to each other. I just read back our old messages wishing one day we'll have a conversation like that. This song is really helping ❤ Update: We talked again today, conversation wasn't as long as I wished it was, but it was better than a "Hey" "hey" "how're you?" "Good." "Nice." and that's it, yk? Made me kinda happy. Hope we can rebuild this friendship.
“Tears falling down at the party, saddest little baby in the room” Really hit hard man. For my birthday this year I was with my mother, her boyfriend, my sister and her friend. So right after they said happy birthday to me, and I blew out the candles on the cake, they just left. I was fully alone for 5 hours, and spend the entire day just crying
I'm so sorry you had to go through that... I hope next year is great and spend it with fun loving/caring people. You definitely deserve more 💗💓make sure to stay hydrated okie :)
I'm not gonna get into details my birthday was bad too. But moulin Rouge tought me when I was very young that the greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. The things you want, want you too that's why it feels so good when your doing what's made for you. Hope your next birthday is better or you win big or meet someone who makes you feel like you discovered a new planet...
I'm so sorry to hear that your birthday wasn't as great as it should have been. It's really unfortunate that your family had to leave so abruptly, but please know that there are people out there who care about you and want you to feel loved and appreciated on your special day. You are a wonderful person and I hope that this message brings a little bit of happiness and comfort to you. Happy belated birthday, and I hope that the rest of your year is filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments.
i dont like how people ignore the parts where it says "go on and hand me your clothes / take a picture or two". my interpretation of this song is that the kid is crying because they got sexually harassed at a party and have begun associating such with their trauma. the reason why the lyrics get so comforting is because the kid learns that he's not alone and that what hes going through is just a trauma response.
Does anyone listen to these songs just to vibe out? Like, my life is perfectly fine, im not edgy or depressed but the song just sounds nice. I don't read into the lyrics either, I just chill out to the tunes.
When he says "I hear your eyes" I think that means that he can understand what they're expressing without exchanging words, because we usually have to speak to convey our thoughts, but the eyes have said it all.
These song makes me feel nostalgic. I used to listen it each time while playing video games with my friends during lockdown. I had to move from city due to Covid and eventually lost contact with them as school started again. I hope we can play again during summer.
Man, this song really hits hard for me ngl. I made a new friend a long while ago, and there was an entire summer where I've started to worry really badly for her w/ her problems, trying really hard to help her with them that it kind of started to drain me emotionally, too. I remember listening to this during that period of time. I did help her feel better after it, though. But lately, I've been really jealous about her other close friend who talks to her a lot more often than I do these days, and I haven't really been at my best since. I think I've extremely close and attached to her, and I genuinely do care about her. I know not many people may see this, but I just really want to say this out here. Update: Heyo. Not sure if anyone will see this, but, I've gotten over that jealousy, thankfully. But, it's been another, really hard time for me again, with her. She's been feeling quite suicidal lately, and I'm extremely worried and unsure of what to do. I just hope for the best, for now.
I always though this song was about a shy high school boy going to a party and having a panic attack attack at the party. The party is really overwhelming and he just wished to leave. Until is when he notices a girl in the corner also having a panic attack (tears falling down at the party. Saddest little baby in the room) and he sits down next to her and even though they are both having a panic attack, they are able to comfort each other by just being there for each other.
I think it may be a student who send revealing pictures to someone (maybe someone they are in a relationship with) and they later break up with that person. Then, during a party it’s revealed the person who sent those pictures leaked it to everyone and the student finds out and has a panic attack during the party. The person singing is possibly someone close to them and trying to comfort the person, while other people don’t want anything to do with the student. Idk..just me.
Im literally at 3:43 am writting this but i cant stand it anymore. Well, one of my cats died, and his closest friend (her sister) fell into depression, she stopped eating, be under the rain and that stuff. Getting veterinary stuff here is hard and is extremely expensive (and this cats were literally adopted bcuz their mother died on my backyard so no one but me fought for them and im a literal child i have no money) so even doing all i was allowed to i knew she was not going to survive, and all i did was playing music with her, and this one really comforted her, like i felt deeply inside me she related. She died on december 23th 2020, till this day everytime this song kicks in i feel like all ive done was always useless. All the other cat owners did it way better than me, they gave those cutties better lives, im an atheist but i still wonder why would a god or deity give them to me, if i barely survive.
I honestly relate to this song so much. In 2nd grade, it was seen as a acpolisment if I didn't cry that day. Bullying and anxiety have affected my mental health so badly. I've been bullied since kindergarten. And the sentence "I can't be the only one who hears you." Reminds me of the fact, I had no one to talk to expect my mom and my counselor. I was mainly seen as throwing a fit or overreacting by other kids and (some) teachers. I'm doing way better now though, and my confidence is building back up slowly. I still struggle badly with anxiety, and I get overwhelmed and overstimulated easly. But I'm glad things are better🩷
The lyrics, according to the captions: [Music] [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] It's negative [Music] [Applause] [Music] Saddest little baby Beers my beers to get me started I contain a dog gray hair for every scare you share Those are men Spare I hear your eyes and I see those crimes I hear those eyes, can I see those cries? I can't be the only one who hears you Falling down the barge Saddest little baby Piers, public fears, to get me started I stay Nuttall gray hair for every scare you share Those are men [Music] [Applause] Barty Saddest little baby First, tell me fierce Can't get me started On my dime You [Music]
Thanks bro for helping me get my monthly midnight panic attack! I honestly need it, haven’t honestly expressed my emotions in a while lol. I’m so sorry but I want someone like this. Currently don’t have close enough friends to talk about my feeling genuinely, and whenever I’m talking with family i get uncomfortable. No one seems to know how sad I am. I want a lover or friend to live with and be able to wake up and talk to and cry in front of without feeling embarrassed or guilty.
