This song is about how you can lose yourself. What you once were is not what you are now, and n,n is reflecting on that past person. The absence title captures the melancholy feeling from the mixture of lyrics and guitar melodies.
[Verse 1]
Shell of a person
Composed on the surface
Tell my family I'm sorry
You can bury my body
Every day I pretend it's okay
I'm confined in my mind
No, I mean it this time
I'ma pack all my things
I'ma leave them behind
Wrap my neck with regrets
That I kept in my chest
When I was born signed a deal with the reaper
It's funny how I had no choice in it either
I hope that you're well, me I can't say the same
I've been holding this all, now I can't take the weight
[Chorus]
I'm the dial tone
Of your loved one's phone
Memories from long ago
Of your childhood home
[Verse 2]
I've been staying up every night
I can see all my flaws in the sunrise
Drown in the sheets every day wake up
And the room start to capsize
'Cause I could never be anything more than me
See I tried and you know that
The years go by, I don't know why things change can't go back
[Chorus]
I'm the dial tone
Of your loved one's phone
Memories from long ago
Of your childhood home
