It seems Matt Maeson is exploring a dichotomy between the perspectives of someone struggling with grief, trauma, or general mental health issues and those who love them but fail in supporting them.
The verses are presented as conversational and friendly, but both end with the same well intentioned...
[Verse 1]
Babe I'm relaxed, I'm looking back
To some denim grass stains and the gravel road pain
Pastor Father, where'd it begin?
Block it out of your mind
Sonny, out of your mind
[Chorus]
And suck it up, cry baby
'Cause all that crying is getting old
And suck it up, cry baby
We've all agreed you should let it go
[Verse 2]
Baby relax, you're not the past
When you couldn't complain, good girls don't change
So you left your body starving again
Block it out of your mind
Honey, out of your mind
[Chorus]
And suck it up, cry baby
'Cause all that crying is getting old
And suck it up cry baby
We've all agreed you should let it go
Block it out of your mind, honey, out of your mind
