This song has an aweful backstory Many people thought it was about a man who killed his wife but it's truly About a suicide hotline that took place in 2016. The line "hoarder of quarters" means that his wife liked collecting quarters. And the line "someday when I go back outside, I'll see your okay" means the singer (Jack Stauber) wants to see her collecting quarters on the street again. she called a suicide prevention hotline and they just put her on hold. (remember a SUICIDE PREVENTION hotline) And by the time they called her back, she had already killed herself. Neighbors really missed her and said that the incident should never happen again, or should have never happened.

No, the song is him singing about how his gf called a suicide holiness, they put her on hold, when they came back she was already gone. She killed herself while they put her on hold.
@@v_tshir7247 Theres so many people saying so many different meanings. The one I'm hearing more is its about a girl who collected quarters and called a suicide hotline yet was put on hold and killed herself.
its cause if the songs back story: a woman who loved collecting quarters was suicidal, so she called a hotline but they put her online, so while in hold she killed herself, so when she was finally taken off hold, it was to late, she was dead
I didn’t expect to cry to this song, the lyrics oml😭😭 The fact the song sounds kinda upbeat makes it more melancholic for me cause it’s like he’s trying to avoid feeling the grief (or maybe he can’t: “wishing that the pills let you cry”)
This song has a good vibe and is so catchy…. Until you know what it means…. Meaning: According to the most popular interpretation, the person singing in Baby Hotline loves someone who died; he’s now trying to process the loss. Some of the lines seem to refer to the dead person’s issues in life. The “baby hotline” symbolizes a connection that the singer keeps attempting to stay in contact with the loved one, but it doesn’t seem to work, and at some point, the protagonist will need to accept it.
That is a good meaning but it's about a lady who wanted to commit suicide so she contacted suicide hotline and they left her on hold and when they came back she was dead and she collected quarters
I thought it was about them trying to call the person who’s just committed suicide - this person has attempted before so the caller is trying to prevent it from happening but it’s too late
Okay, a lot of people here are messing up the story, and I wanna get the record straight. This song is about a real woman who was depressed and was seeking help. Her own mental state mocked her, basically telling her to do it already (baby flatline, still time to do it too.) Her husband loved and supported her (baby hotline, hold me close to you.) The “hoarder of quarters line” is often misinterpreted as she liked collecting quarters, that’s not what this means at all. Not a lot of people know this, but for old school hotlines you needed quarters to call people, like a toll. So this is to reference how many times she called the hotline, it was like she was a hoarder of quarters the way she kept calling the hotline. It’s a clever play on words, obviously the “suicide hotline” isn’t an actual pay a quarter hotline, but those old pay a quarter hotlines actually needed you to pay a quarter. It’s just supposed to truly tell you how many times she called that hotline. “I contend that your drinking eye has never opened.” This is because she’s not dead. Often times when people commit suicide they’ll get drunk, and in their drunken state they become emotional and point out all the flaws about themselves. Stuff that they “didn’t see before.” Almost, like a drinking eye. Considering she has not yet committed suicide, her “drinking eye” never opened. This is once again, either someone else mocking her or her own mental state. Her husband, knows that soon she might try to commit suicide, and he hates hoping things will get better, because they never do. (I contend somebody will die, and I hate hoping.) She’s been taking medicine to deal with this depression, the pills are supposed to make everything better, but they’re not. This shows a duality. The song is saying the husband (after the death) and the wife (before the suicide) are both taking pills. He hates coping with her loss, and she hates coping with her depression, cause she truthfully just wants to let go. And the last line is self explanatory. The main story is basically, lady is depressed, her husband is trying to help her. Her own mental state mocks her. She calls a suicide hotline because she can’t take it anymore, the suicide hotline puts her on hold and hangs up on her multiple times. By the time the suicide hotline calls her back, she’s already committed suicide. The husband is trying to cope with this loss.
Many people talk about the hoarder of quarters line talking about how she liked to collect quarters. While this may be the case, I feel it makes more sense that what the line means is that she had to keep collecting quarters to pay for a payphone to keep talking to the hotline.
"Baby hotline please hold me close to you" This line resembles a woman calling a suicide hotline "Baby flatline still time to do it to" There's still time for suicide "Baby snack time chow down to earth" She is ready to jump off of a building (didnt jump) "But in your head she's a hoarder of quarters" She collects quarters to call the hotline(back then you had to pay to call the hotline) (Skipping this line cause i cant find the meaning) "I content that your drinking eye has never opened" This is coming from the woman that is saying to her husband that he never opened his eues to how severe the situation is "I insist somebody will die and i hate hoping" She will kill herself "Wishing that the pills let you cry and i hate coping" This line is coming from the husband that hopes the pills help her "Someday i will go back outside and see her okay" This line probably was said after the woman died, the husband is hoping to see her again "Hung up and put on hold" She called the hotline almost hung herself up and got put on hold (Cant find the meaning) "Please dial 9 to get out" They are calling her a coward "No flatline what were you scared about" They are also calling her a coward (Skip) (Im skipping these because i already said the meaning) "Numb ive been burning with haste and im realizing now its a terrible waste" It represents her mental state, she's also realizing calling the hotline is a waste of quarters and time "Sunbathe till morning time" Its not bathing in the sun just bathing in a light where she will find herself in the morning and her "e-eyes will open wide" (Cant find the meaning any of these lines) "I hate hoping" The woman's final thoughts
I swear I am hearing this full song for the first time. I directly started understanding this fully without needing to research. I did saw some comments but now I fully understand it.
Ppl keep saying the meaning of the song is about the writer's, girlfriend's suicide after being put on hold by a suicide hotline. But I've listened to this song for years and while Jack does deal in heavy topics sometimes he is also very reserved in his presence online. Dude doesn't really do interviews and leaves his songs and videos up to interpretation. Why are people all the sudden so sure that that's what I means? Where did this rumor start?
@@Theoneandonlydramaqueen. meh, not really, The overall theme of calling a "baby hotline" for their loved one but always being put on hold is likely symbolism for them not accept that she's gone and they can't get back to her, yet they continue calling to potentially "see her ok", mainly seen when the singer says "No, uh, I'll try again though".
My interpretation: the lyrics where it says hung up and put on hold is where a girl attempted suicide, she called a suicide hotline they put her on hold. By the time the she was not on hold anymore she was dead and she is now free. The ringing at the end is the hotline recalling her but it goes on for a boy cause she committed
I know everyone has their own interpretation and nobody really agrees on the song's meaning. To me its about the conflict between a person who is dying of an overdose, and their loved one trying to keep them conscious by talking to them
The story is about a woman in 2016 who loved to collect quarters, thus the line hoarder of quarters, but this girl had severe depression. She called a suicide hotline and ended up being put on hold for just over 2 hours. When the hotline called back, the girl had already committed suicide.
Yeah it's kind of strange to me when the song will just completely change it's theme/vibe that made it so addicting half way through (I would say so far so good also suffers from the same thing, and the start of sunflower (by rex orange country) was almost a completely different song from the rest of the actual song)
So if anyone's wondering what this songs I'll tell you(⚠️WARNING THIS COULD BE ROUGH FOR SOME TO READ⚠️) A husband and wife lived together,and the wife started having problems such as feeling sad,lonely.This caused her to have depression she started taking depression pills and a lot of them and once the husband found out he threw them out.He didn't help her at all with her depression and she decided to take her own life. she called the suicide hotline but apparently they put her on hold by that time she had already tooken her own life and he wrote this song to tell people what happend..😢
Everytime i remember the meaning of those lyrics, i pray that Jack Stauber is okay and recovering well from this. I know its been 15 years (i think ?) but its hard to heal from these kinds of things
I remember searching for this song and when i found it i was like this can't be it? because the intro seems so happy- and then the aftermath of the song and lyrics..
this song triggers a whole lot of emotions. my brother passed away a few years ago and this song makes me think about him. i relate to the line "i hate coping" because i have a really hard time coping with things.
I like interpreting the stuffing out of everything. The general consensus about the prevention hotline is right but it's the perspective of who is singing is what I think is wrong. My interpretation is that this is from the perspective of the person who is in the call centre taking calls. He's getting repeat calls from the same woman and in the first half of the song he's wondering why she hasn't drank her troubles away and he wonders why her medication is doing no good. He is bored with hearing the same old story and he feels like she is overstepping boundaries, probably because she is trying to form a connection. He even starts thinking if she hasn't committed the act yet then she probably never will. He resorts to putting her on hold and hanging up on her. The second half of the song is his lament and regret after learning the caller has now gone forever. He feels numb and realises her life ending was a waste. He eventually doesn't want to even think about the situation and he bends his thinking so he's not to blame. He hopes she's alive and it's not real. Throughout the song he tries to make numerous calls hoping the news isn't true but the phone just rings out. It's what makes sense to me hearing the lyrics. Other analysis has shifting protagonists and leaves things open to interpretation or unexplained but they haven't considered the protagonist actually being the guy at the call centre.
The word baby hotline symbolises connection that the singer keeps attending to stay in contact with their loved one but doesn't seem to work and at some point the protogynous will need to accept
@@IlluminaEpicly69hey! Music is all up to interpretation of the listener and it doesn't matter what anyone else says. I personally see it as someone losing connection with a partner, "she's a hoarder of quarters" = she doesn't call, "my line is getting cold" =she doesn't answer. They could be drifting apart for many reasons, but that's just my interpretation and I find all the ideas about this being based on a real story silly because I'm an adult, and have seen similar stories come out about other songs and had believed them at one point before learning they were just false.
The “someday I will go back outside and see her okay” part makes total sense with the moment the song was released, as the song was released during the pandemic
So basically in easy meaning, the song writers girlfriend wanted to kill herself, so she called the sucicide hotline but they didnt answer so she did sucicide. And thats why the phone ringing sound at 0:46 exists and it says "(hotline!) Hang up and put on hold! " it means that the sucicide hotline hung up on her.
I don’t know if this song is really about the 2016 hotline suicide.. has he ever came out and said that’s exactly what it’s about or has it just been speculation and theory? lmk since I can’t find anything about it besides this comment section and a random tiktok that brought me here.
This is the speculated backstory that I found. Though, the singer, Jack Stauber, never gave the true meaning. Jack, the singer, had a lover with a drinking problem who was depressed. She called a suicide hotline, but they put her on hold and/or hung up. So, she ended up killing herself. In Jack's mind she was a hoarder of quarters because he wishes they could talk forever through the payphone, which would take many quarters. He doesn't want to hope for her to come back or to cope with it, he just wants things to change and for her to come back. She might've also been taking pills, and he wishes the pills allowed her to cry as opposed to her marinating in the depression. Someday he will die and see her again, hence "I insist somebody will die.." and "Someday I will go back outside and see her okay."

Okay, a lot of people here are messing up the story, and I wanna get the record straight.
This song is about a real woman who was depressed and was seeking help.
Her own mental state mocked her, basically telling her to do it already (baby flatline, still time to do it too.)
Her husband loved and supported her (baby hotline, hold me close to you.)
The “hoarder of quarters line” is often misinterpreted as she liked collecting quarters, that’s not what this means at all. Not a lot of people know this, but for old school hotlines you needed quarters to call people, like a toll. So this is to reference how many times she called the hotline, it was like she was a hoarder of quarters the way she kept calling the hotline. It’s a clever play on words, obviously the “suicide hotline” isn’t an actual pay a quarter hotline, but those old pay a quarter hotlines actually needed you to pay a quarter. It’s just supposed to truly tell you how many times she called that hotline.
“I contend that your drinking eye has never opened.” This is because she’s not dead. Often times when people commit suicide they’ll get drunk, and in their drunken state they become emotional and point out all the flaws about themselves. Stuff that they “didn’t see before.” Almost, like a drinking eye. Considering she has not yet committed suicide, her “drinking eye” never opened. This is once again, either someone else mocking her or her own mental state.
Her husband, knows that soon she might try to commit suicide, and he hates hoping things will get better, because they never do. (I contend somebody will die, and I hate hoping.)
She’s been taking medicine to deal with this depression, the pills are supposed to make everything better, but they’re not. This shows a duality. The song is saying the husband (after the death) and the wife (before the suicide) are both taking pills. He hates coping with her loss, and she hates coping with her depression, cause she truthfully just wants to let go.
And the last line is self explanatory.
The main story is basically, lady is depressed, her husband is trying to help her. Her own mental state mocks her. She calls a suicide hotline because she can’t take it anymore, the suicide hotline puts her on hold and hangs up on her multiple times. By the time the suicide hotline calls her back, she’s already committed suicide.
The husband is trying to cope with this loss.

Hung up and put on hold
My line is getting cold
this is by far my fave song, its dark and twisted and perfect
My interpretation: the lyrics where it says hung up and put on hold is where a girl attempted suicide, she called a suicide hotline they put her on hold. By the time the she was not on hold anymore she was dead and she is now free. The ringing at the end is the hotline recalling her but it goes on for a boy cause she committed
When I heard the ringing at the end I knew what it was about
I love this song 🎧
As a neurodivergent, this song scratches the back of my brain in a way I can’t explain
I feel youuuuu
I’m not sure if im neurodivergent yet but I do show a lot of signs. I was told a lot that I’m “too smart” to be one though
0:15 is best
Hoarder of quarters? Yes 😢
nahhh 0:22 is the best
It's So Catchy!
I know everyone has their own interpretation and nobody really agrees on the song's meaning. To me its about the conflict between a person who is dying of an overdose, and their loved one trying to keep them conscious by talking to them
The story is about a woman in 2016 who loved to collect quarters, thus the line hoarder of quarters, but this girl had severe depression. She called a suicide hotline and ended up being put on hold for just over 2 hours. When the hotline called back, the girl had already committed suicide.
@@That_one_guy2010 i dont think you got the comment.
The 2016, girlfriend, and on hold for over 2 hours thing you pulled straight out of your ass.
That’s a solid theory
Ok this song is just amazing
Bro I’m listening to this because my school keeps holding us in because of the weather I just wanna go home and sleep but the song is so good
the fact that you added so much to one of my favorite songs to make it better...
Every TikTok : me vibing to this song and realizing what it says. Them never saying the lyrics... Me finding out the lyrics... OH 🙁
me: vibing to the song
*learns what it means*
me: vibing to the song
Jack stuaber deserve the love
why does his music give me Halloween vibes
Thanks!, my favourite song ever
me vibing to this song:
remember what it means..:
Why did they make such a sad song into a good beat 😭
I definitely like the extended song but only up to a certain point. The second half gets a little weird for me lol
edit: ive gotten lazy to skip the last half so i like the whole thing now lmao
Yeah it's kind of strange to me when the song will just completely change it's theme/vibe that made it so addicting half way through (I would say so far so good also suffers from the same thing, and the start of sunflower (by rex orange country) was almost a completely different song from the rest of the actual song)
That's the dream core song
So if anyone's wondering what this songs I'll tell you(⚠️WARNING THIS COULD BE ROUGH FOR SOME TO READ⚠️) A husband and wife lived together,and the wife started having problems such as feeling sad,lonely.This caused her to have depression she started taking depression pills and a lot of them and once the husband found out he threw them out.He didn't help her at all with her depression and she decided to take her own life. she called the suicide hotline but apparently they put her on hold by that time she had already tooken her own life and he wrote this song to tell people what happend..😢
@@LadaleDesu yeah pretty bad!
I feel bad for her husband
Is this true story or just song?
@DustinJones-eh5bf like Jack stauber actually witnessed this?
@@justsomeuhrandomkidno it’s made up or something that he heard from somewhere, he didn’t witness it himself
Why is this so catchy?! The music and the lyrics yes im here from tik tok lol
Did you survive the cringe?
When the music is catchy but has a dark meaning
Everytime i remember the meaning of those lyrics, i pray that Jack Stauber is okay and recovering well from this. I know its been 15 years (i think ?) but its hard to heal from these kinds of things
The story behind this really goes
I remember searching for this song and when i found it i was like this can't be it? because the intro seems so happy- and then the aftermath of the song and lyrics..
this song triggers a whole lot of emotions. my brother passed away a few years ago and this song makes me think about him. i relate to the line "i hate coping" because i have a really hard time coping with things.
Sorry for your loss 😢
@@ILOVEDOMA_UPPERMOON2hes in a better place now.
sorry for your loss
I get the chills when listening to this and it feels so funny and cool because it feels like I'm in like the song or something
This song has always gave me weirdcore vibes just cause of the music video
I LOVE JACK STAURBER'S MUSIC
People need to understand
THE LADY DOES NOTTTT COLLECT QUARTERS, ITS TO SAY HOW MUCH SHE USED QUARTERS TO CALL THE HOTLINE
Maybe she picked up quarters from the floor to use it for the hotline
I like interpreting the stuffing out of everything. The general consensus about the prevention hotline is right but it's the perspective of who is singing is what I think is wrong.
My interpretation is that this is from the perspective of the person who is in the call centre taking calls.
He's getting repeat calls from the same woman and in the first half of the song he's wondering why she hasn't drank her troubles away and he wonders why her medication is doing no good. He is bored with hearing the same old story and he feels like she is overstepping boundaries, probably because she is trying to form a connection. He even starts thinking if she hasn't committed the act yet then she probably never will. He resorts to putting her on hold and hanging up on her.
The second half of the song is his lament and regret after learning the caller has now gone forever. He feels numb and realises her life ending was a waste. He eventually doesn't want to even think about the situation and he bends his thinking so he's not to blame. He hopes she's alive and it's not real.
Throughout the song he tries to make numerous calls hoping the news isn't true but the phone just rings out.
It's what makes sense to me hearing the lyrics. Other analysis has shifting protagonists and leaves things open to interpretation or unexplained but they haven't considered the protagonist actually being the guy at the call centre.
4:12 love it
Aww! “Humans souls” sound so cute! :0❤
The word baby hotline symbolises connection that the singer keeps attending to stay in contact with their loved one but doesn't seem to work and at some point the protogynous will need to accept
No it's a different meaning
@@IlluminaEpicly69hey! Music is all up to interpretation of the listener and it doesn't matter what anyone else says.
I personally see it as someone losing connection with a partner, "she's a hoarder of quarters" = she doesn't call, "my line is getting cold" =she doesn't answer. They could be drifting apart for many reasons, but that's just my interpretation and I find all the ideas about this being based on a real story silly because I'm an adult, and have seen similar stories come out about other songs and had believed them at one point before learning they were just false.
@@rambblerYou dont know the true meaning
@@RamBoiLol once again, there is no true meaning. Just different interpretations. Death of the author, Yada Yada and so forth.
@@rambbler it was confirmed wdym
i had to put my ear close to the screen to decipher the lyrics and i’m glad i did
This song has a scary meaning, but i like this song. This is calming
Me acsending to heaven finding out the songs not actually short: YAYYYYYYY
The “someday I will go back outside and see her okay” part makes total sense with the moment the song was released, as the song was released during the pandemic
This songs would actually go good in fnaf
the second half of the song is so goddamn heart wrenching!
1:30 its fire, 🔥
Real.
This goes into a category of songs I like to call “Teary Bangers”
I came here after a friend told me to listen to the song, and then see the lyrics. I will never forgive him.
This song is a banger
So basically in easy meaning, the song writers girlfriend wanted to kill herself, so she called the sucicide hotline but they didnt answer so she did sucicide.
And thats why the phone ringing sound at 0:46 exists and it says "(hotline!) Hang up and put on hold! " it means that the sucicide hotline hung up on her.
No… she got put on hold and at 2:46 that the hold music to listen to when waiting she killed herself while she was on hold
I am not a tiktoker but I love this song and it's catchy
I don’t know if this song is really about the 2016 hotline suicide.. has he ever came out and said that’s exactly what it’s about or has it just been speculation and theory? lmk since I can’t find anything about it besides this comment section and a random tiktok that brought me here.
This is the speculated backstory that I found. Though, the singer, Jack Stauber, never gave the true meaning.
Jack, the singer, had a lover with a drinking problem who was depressed. She called a suicide hotline, but they put her on hold and/or hung up. So, she ended up killing herself. In Jack's mind she was a hoarder of quarters because he wishes they could talk forever through the payphone, which would take many quarters. He doesn't want to hope for her to come back or to cope with it, he just wants things to change and for her to come back. She might've also been taking pills, and he wishes the pills allowed her to cry as opposed to her marinating in the depression. Someday he will die and see her again, hence "I insist somebody will die.." and "Someday I will go back outside and see her okay."

Opinion 100% valid
this song is so sad, its very obviously about suicide but the melody honestly slaps so hard that im not sure if i should dance or cry
0:56 my fav lyrics up to 1:08
I can't wait for everyone that says "this song is so cute" to realize the meaning💀✋
Have y'all seen the Mandela catalogue version of this
Also why at 0:22 it sounds like "I can do this no drinking I was never okay"
its kind of eerie how 2:46 is supposed to be the hold music
Fr
This song has the same BPM as my car's seatbelt alarm!
Finally!
after i realise the meaning of it i can never listen to this song the same ever again
Me showing me parents this song: 😁
Them thinking I’m in need of help: You have a very big head-
