"Baby hotline" and "dinner is not over" are amazing songs about experiencing suicidelness or having someone close to you experience that and it really describes it so well, thankyou Jack Stauber
The word you were looking for is suicidality (for next time, trying to educate, not hate! Words are beautiful because they allow people to communicate)
@@kitosanimations I mean, no, he usually doesn’t, I’m just saying that’s not the official meaning it’s just AN interpretation. There are other interpretations that are equally correct because none are confirmed.
@@annataymond9529 no that's just pretentious art school bullshit. There is a correct interpretation that is very obvious and the constant search for multiple interpretations to very straightforward lyrics is rotting your brain.
One thing i love about jack stauber is not only does he talk about serious topics needing recognizion but he does it in such an abstract way. Take Opal for an example.
For those who don’t know, this song was written about a suicidal woman who collects money to call a suicide prevention hotline through a payphone Edit: I know Jack hasn’t confirmed this himself, but this is the most popular theory, also thanks for the likes, helps me out a lot
Got to meet him 6 months ago at my job and he is just purely awesome. I swear that phrase never meet your heroes was put to bed when I met this guy. Humble, kind, and down to earth Edit: Never got this many likes on a comment ever so thanks for that. I noticed like two of you didn’t believe the story so I posted the picture of him and I on my community section of the page for all the non believers!
you met him recently??? did you ask him anything regarding what he's doing musically? i'm so sad he hasn't posted any music in the past few year :( i'm super glad to hear he's doing okay though.
I think everyone needs to listen to Jack Stauber, just songs other than baby hotline, buttercup, and oh klahoma. He has so many other great songs that need recognition, my personal favorite is dead weight!
For the people who do not understand Jack is known for making a lot of songs about personality phobias and disorders. And this song is suicide hotline (also know as 988) and I can always relate to this song because I have attempted before and I was forced to talk to the suicide prevention hotline and it makes all since after I have and I understand this song a lot more now. (Edit) THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR 5.1 LIKES AND ALL THE SUPPORT LOVE YOU ALL!!! (Edit 2) okay so I understand that some of you do not like others comments *cough* Ducky *cough* but if you're just going to upset or do hate speech here I will not hesitate to report or delete this comment so please do not send anything that involves: hate speech, assault, threats, and racist homophonic and sexist comments. I do thank the people who tried to help and support me because writing this did take a lot of balls to do even though I'm a pussy ngtl but this arguing has to stop besides it's been like 5 months? So please just don't argue or put hate because you think that's just gonna solve everything. (And yes it's not that's not the way you fix things) and again thank you all for the support and have a good rest of your day may God bless you all.
I kind of get where you coming from I never tried to do anything myself but I did talk to them cuz I thought about it a lot especially in my later years of high school which I graduated last year and so I definitely get that and I hope you're in a better place mentally now and if not and if you need a hug I'm here
I was going to say. That line hit the hardest but I never see anyone talk about it. Antidepressants are life savers in the literal sense, but the lack of emotional catharsis in your life destroys your ability to stay grounded to reality in some ways.
@@TommyCook-bl8yi I think it just takes reading the lyrics. A lot of popular songs nowadays are very surface-level and don't really have much meaning to them which personally doesn't feel as good. Idk if you've seen it but Jack Stauber made a really haunting animated short movie with various songs in it that delves into the subject of childhood abuse and how it can damage a child. To me, that's a good example of his storytelling.
@@joxii__ tbf that songs about childhood trauma are pretty obvious and much more on the nose. This song is too obtuse, and wether its intentional or not, its not a great example of story telling as the ambiguity allows for thousands of interpretations. Good story telling is one that can still maintain levels of ambiguity while still putting up “road signs” that let the reader/listener come to the right conclusion eventually. A true artist hates when people misinterpret their work, trust me.
Those who don’t know what the meaning of the song is, here it is. it is a song about a woman that is suicidal. he calls the suicide hotline but it is too late and you can hear a gunshot which means she shot herself. it is about his girlfriend/wife and it is also about suicide. hope this helped!
heres the meaning of the song (the song doesn't have an actual meaning so thank you mr fucking sherlock holmes in the replies but jack stauber says that it can be interpreted in a lot of ways) so a woman was feeling extremely depressed and having suicidal thoughts. she decided to call the suicide hotline, which requires payment in quarters. they kept putting her on hold and she ran out of quarters. she ultimately killed herself while she was on hold edit: my gosh 1.3k likes in 4 hours ty lmao edit #2: as someone said in replies - this is just *speculated* to be the meaning of the song edit #3: holy fucking shitballs how did i get 17k likes
Had a friend text a hotline and they basically said that she needed to get over it Texted the same hotline and couldn't tell if I was talking to a person or a robot
I only called one time, and when she said where are you kinda panicked and seriously after telling her what I did, I hung the fuck up bc as a kid I was still so scared for help or ppl knowing.
@@fartboydam tf you mean? he has like NO recognition this isnt enough a few videos isnt enough, peoples attention span is so low that if they see like a dance to his song they wont try to look for him, he needs recognition and he DOESNt have that, go look at his videos he spends so long on them and he gets what? a measly 4m views after 7 YEARS? not right.
no need for the emphasis on the "NO", I've seen copious amounts of videos just simply using his music with a gaming background or odd weirdcore animation, peoples attention spans came out of nowhere, he already has the recognition he deserves, 4 million people viewing is not measly thats a football stadium x40, videos lose traction after a week of posting, i conclude on you're an idiot who loses their shit over a youtube comment and decides to write an essay trying to pick apart the random fuckers claim ez gg

Jack tends not to confirm any meanings behind his songs. Some have pretty apparent meanings, but most don’t. Like with most of his songs, There is no confirmed meaning behind this song, but there are many different theories and interpretations! I’ve been a big fan of Jack since about 2016 :) He’s a fantastic artist, and if you do enjoy the darker themes in his work, then I highly recommend checking out his short film called Opal. Jack made for Adult Swim, and it’s an absolutely stunning stop-motion film and album about a young girl, and well, I won’t say any more as to not spoil it, but I highly recommend giving it a watch. It’s available to watch for free here on RUclips.
There 8s a moment in time that feels like years when you start taking anti anxiety/depression meds when you feel numb.. it's like you feel nothing and its a hard tome, but keep taking them, it takes about a year for them to have any real effect but once you past the sick feeling, hopelessness and then the numb feeling you one day realised that you are smiling...its mad, you are suddenly able to keep that happy feeling for longer then before and it fills you with this warmt. If you are starting meds and feel shite, it gets better you just need to keep going ❣️
as a small heads up, you're not supposed to continue feeling bad on your meds, when i was put on them my prescriber was VERY clear that if i wasn't feeling any better or felt worse after the first week that they needed switched
If I had continued on my meds, I would've unalived myself, or worse, harmed the people I love. They caused me to have a psychotic break, starve, have horrible aches and pains all over my body, tics, etc and I've tried just about every pill on the market. Literally the only thing that helps me with no side effects is weed, the sativa kind. Indica makes me more sad, but I'll just eat and go to sleep lol Don't push this advice please, it's harmful to people like me who was on meds throughout my entire childhood and they didn't do a thing but hurt me more.
@@RoxanneSwithin this!! if it doesnt work for you it doesn't work for you. if you're taking meds to improve your mental health they should improve your mental health. For some people SSRIs are ineffective, for other people stimulants make them into a zombie. For me stimulants work perfectly and preserve my creativity.
I always interpreted it as being about addiction/calling an addiction or emergency hotline, since a lot of his music is about drug abuse/addiction (Hope, Coffee, and those are just off the top of my head there are more). Especially the second verse seems to be about someone waking up after being hospitalized for an overdose ("no flatline, what were you scared about?") and the "I insist somebody will die and I hate hoping / someday I will go back outside and see her okay" is pretty relatable to those of us with loved ones going through addiction, knowing they will likely day and hoping to see them well again. During the ringtones at one point there's an operator that says "let me try again" and at the end there's a dial tone with no answer, indicating that the hotline missed her call and tried to reach her back, but was too late. I also respect the interpretation that its about depression and suicide because a lot of his songs touch on that as well
@@gamespc-zi6zoIt is definently trying to evoke a creepy and somewhat manic tone though, with the contrasting upbeat music and darker lyrical topics, as well as the cuts to harsh static. The video is also trying to do this, with the warped claymation and constantly jumping backgrounds. It's not a stretch to get the get a picture of someone in a dark place emotionally from this song ig.
this little short film opal by him pretty deep too. topics bout child neglect nd addict parents sad but the way he portrays them is so genius. very talented person
It's also just really good from a cinemography perspective, the muted tones, claymation and early digital animation landing pretty well in the uncanny valley, and the wispy almost ethereal imagery related to the concept of a home comes together to make something unsettling and cool
Context: The girl calls a suicide hotline and they constantly disregard her, she eventually kills herself. The weird beat noise mimic the gun shots. And that is why the song is called "baby hotline" >>> suicide hotline is what it really means.
He's also just really good at setting a tone with stylistic and pacing choices. Like this song for example, is unsettling not only because of whatever deeper meaning you might get from it but also the abrupt and harsh cuts cuts to static, the cheery upbeat tone contrasted with the talk of pills, and death with the addition of the visual aspects of the warped claymation and quickly cutting backgrounds. Idk this is kind of a rant but people never talk about this part of Jack's stuff.
I always interpreted Baby Hotline being about the friend and not the woman. Obviously it’s traced back to the woman and her suicide, but I see it as being from the man’s perspective. Idk not revolutionary but whatever; I think the song is about a friend being torn apart from the guilt of suicide, not a woman hoarding quarters for the suicide hotline.
i think so too! i always thought it was this guy working at a suicide hotline that probably knew her personally, and feels guilty that he wasn’t able to save her
As someone who’s been listening to this man’s music since 9-10th grade (I graduated like 2 years ago) it makes me really happy whenever I see more and more people listening to him because I use to be considered the weird girl in my school for doing so.
For those who don’t know, the song is about a depressed lady (husband trying to help her)but her mental state is horrible (telling her to do it) so she calls a suicide hotline but they put her on hold and hung up many times but by the time they got back to her, she had already committed suicide so basically the song is the lady’s husband trying to cope with his loss Long story short: Depressed lady,called suicide hotline,declined on her,called back,she committed,husband trying to cope. Edit: OMG MAMA IM FAMOUS (and npppp for the ppl saying “thank you for the short and understandable explanation”🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻)
Technically that's probably not what it's about, but there is definently a reason people jump to that. The harsh cuts in the video and song as well as the contrasting visuals and lyrics vs tone do very much give a manic and dark feel, that wouldn't be out of place for someone on a suicide hotline.
What i hear: I can not keep on drinking and eyes never open... I had seen someone who will die and i hate gulping Wishing on those pills make me cry and i hate gulping (From what i hear, gulping is drinking alcohole btw ❤) Someday i can go back in time and see her, okay?... (From what i hear on this line, i think this line about "her" has died amd he wants go to back in time just to live out the memories again❤❤)
This song it's about a girl who struggles with depression, and calls the su!cide hotline. But she keeps getting pun on hold and eventually k!ll's herself. In the song you hear bangs, that is meant to indicate the sound of a gun. When the song ends, you will hear ringing, this is either her calling the hotline, or the hotline trying to call her back, but they can't because she's already dead.
Jack is fire ngl everyone just knows him for making this song but barely anybody knows his other songs like two time, fighter, and so much more like- they’re so good😭
I'm so glad that not only Jack Stauber is getting more notoriety, but also this song in particular. It's dark in subject matter, but very enjoyable to listen to (hopefully that doesn't sound too dark😅).
i believe this song is about a woman who called a suicide hotline , and got put on hold . After a bit , she k!lled herself . very deep meaning to a somewhat innocent looking song .
I interpret this song as a lady who is depressed because of a miscarriage or still has a baby and is trying to convince herself not to kill herself so that the baby can live
I feel so bad for him. His girlfriend called te suidal hotline since she was thinking about killing herself and they hung up so she ended up doing it. That’s why in the song jack says “ to she her okey” feel so bad for him
i love jack stauber so much, he makes songs, stories, and many things about serious topics in such an abstract way that even sometimes you can find mutiple definitions within them, he makes literal masterpieces
jack stauber makes the most relatable music with the best vibes. just imagine “stay friends, problems that you can’t defend” as you walk home from school past your classmate’s house, who doesn’t like you anymore “tears falling down at the party” alone on your birthday. “i insist somebody will die and i hate hoping.” when you’re on the verge of death and trying to get help but your parents tell you it’s just a phase.
For those who don't know the song "baby hotline" is an a girl who was depressed and wanted to khs so she called a suicide hotline called "baby hotline" but they kept putting her on hold and she ended up shooting herself Hope this helps!

During the ringtones at one point there's an operator that says "let me try again" and at the end there's a dial tone with no answer, indicating that the hotline missed her call and tried to reach her back, but was too late. I also respect the interpretation that its about depression and suicide because a lot of his songs touch on that as well
eh nobody really knows his meanings he doesnt say what they mean hes kinda mysterious lmao
@@gamespc-zi6zo I direct you to the opening phrase "I always interpreted it as"
@@gamespc-zi6zoIt is definently trying to evoke a creepy and somewhat manic tone though, with the contrasting upbeat music and darker lyrical topics, as well as the cuts to harsh static. The video is also trying to do this, with the warped claymation and constantly jumping backgrounds. It's not a stretch to get the get a picture of someone in a dark place emotionally from this song ig.
i had never thought about it that way, but it actually makes more sense to me lol
Jack Stauber is the definition of "comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable"
Opal has ripped my soul into a million pieces after already (mostly) healing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for it
this little short film opal by him pretty deep too. topics bout child neglect nd addict parents sad but the way he portrays them is so genius. very talented person
WHAT IS IT CALLED
It's also just really good from a cinemography perspective, the muted tones, claymation and early digital animation landing pretty well in the uncanny valley, and the wispy almost ethereal imagery related to the concept of a home comes together to make something unsettling and cool
That was by him?? I just watched that earlier this year, and it was disturbing.
@@nancyrangel-l4bi think it’s just called opal, it’s on youtube
@@yuukiiiiilover oh okay ty
Context: The girl calls a suicide hotline and they constantly disregard her, she eventually kills herself. The weird beat noise mimic the gun shots. And that is why the song is called "baby hotline" >>> suicide hotline is what it really means.
It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits
Before knowing the lyrics:💃
After knowing the lyrics:💃
The song is about a suicide prevention hotline called “baby hotline” and a woman who wants to call them gets put on hold and ends up unaliving herself
Jack Stauber has so many songs with lyrics you can’t understand. That’s part of his charm. Love his stuff.
underdeveloped frontal lobe
He's also just really good at setting a tone with stylistic and pacing choices. Like this song for example, is unsettling not only because of whatever deeper meaning you might get from it but also the abrupt and harsh cuts cuts to static, the cheery upbeat tone contrasted with the talk of pills, and death with the addition of the visual aspects of the warped claymation and quickly cutting backgrounds.
Idk this is kind of a rant but people never talk about this part of Jack's stuff.
I always interpreted Baby Hotline being about the friend and not the woman. Obviously it’s traced back to the woman and her suicide, but I see it as being from the man’s perspective. Idk not revolutionary but whatever; I think the song is about a friend being torn apart from the guilt of suicide, not a woman hoarding quarters for the suicide hotline.
i think so too! i always thought it was this guy working at a suicide hotline that probably knew her personally, and feels guilty that he wasn’t able to save her
As someone who’s been listening to this man’s music since 9-10th grade (I graduated like 2 years ago) it makes me really happy whenever I see more and more people listening to him because I use to be considered the weird girl in my school for doing so.
Not so fun fact:
The loud bang sound that your hear when he is finished singing a sentence is supposed the sound of a gun going off
I always thought it was just meant to be harsh static as a means of catching the listener off gaurd and contributing to the the overall tone.
great i cant unhear a lout shoot at the end of the sentence. thank you
I love Jack Stuaber his songs are good and are so creative for real
Baby Hotline is about a woman calling the suicide hotline.
someday i will go outside and see her okay nearly made me cry
This song is creepy with the lyrics and the video 💀
Lol I thought it was a fun dance song
@@blackhawkz007how stupid r u
AS A JACK STAUBER FAN ITS NORMAL FOR ME😅
@@90srockenjoyer same! its so cool its not really creepy
I love this song it's a great song and when he said "ok..." it's like saying goodbye...
I love the melodies he creates. They’re so out there but perfect
For those who don’t know, the song is about a depressed lady (husband trying to help her)but her mental state is horrible (telling her to do it) so she calls a suicide hotline but they put her on hold and hung up many times but by the time they got back to her, she had already committed suicide so basically the song is the lady’s husband trying to cope with his loss
Long story short:
Depressed lady,called suicide hotline,declined on her,called back,she committed,husband trying to cope.
Edit: OMG MAMA IM FAMOUS (and npppp for the ppl saying “thank you for the short and understandable explanation”🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻)
I've been scrolling the comments, and it seems like a *lot* of people have had a similar experience :(
Technically that's probably not what it's about, but there is definently a reason people jump to that. The harsh cuts in the video and song as well as the contrasting visuals and lyrics vs tone do very much give a manic and dark feel, that wouldn't be out of place for someone on a suicide hotline.
I thought the song was from the perspective of one of the suicide hotline operators but idk I could be wrong
Btw its not his wife. Its someone else
It was, and i heard it was abt his wife or smth? @Nefelifreya
I love everything from jack! It’s all so catchy but it always has a deeper meaning
I like that VHS filter 📼
Wow nice I just got into making edits and I’d love to know how you do that kind of edit
This is straight up hitting my antidepressants haze 😅😅 also now I wanna listen to this on loop while also randomly popping in some Bo Burnham gems 😂😂

Thank you!
“And see her okay”hit hard…
What i hear:
I can not keep on drinking and eyes never open...
I had seen someone who will die and i hate gulping
Wishing on those pills make me cry and i hate gulping (From what i hear, gulping is drinking alcohole btw ❤)
Someday i can go back in time and see her, okay?... (From what i hear on this line, i think this line about "her" has died amd he wants go to back in time just to live out the memories again❤❤)
"Mew mew mew mew mew"
Such a best beat
Bro I showed this song to my dad when I didn't even know what it was about..😢
Jack stay bet makes me remember playing hello neighbor when I was little with my sister like his music makes me feel something I can’t explain 😭❓
Most songs are perfect until you look at the lyrics
This would have been a boring song if it wasn't for the lyrics.
What about the harsh static and the singer sounding like he's about to cry? It's not all about the lyrics.
This song it's about a girl who struggles with depression, and calls the su!cide hotline.
But she keeps getting pun on hold and eventually k!ll's herself. In the song you hear bangs, that is meant to indicate the sound of a gun. When the song ends, you will hear ringing, this is either her calling the hotline, or the hotline trying to call her back, but they can't because she's already dead.
Suicide hotline really got me pumped though
*baby hotline*
Please hold me
“Wishing that the pills let you cry” is so real as someone who’s on antidepressants.
i was looking for a comment like this cuz this is too real
Jack stauber is so silly like wdym baby hotline is about a suicidal hotline
“One day I will go back outside and see you okay.”
Hits hard .😢
Why what happened
@@Juliemartinez-z4b I think his wife died or committed suicide
Jack Stauber got me into music again in late 2022 till mid 2023, thank you Jack.
Jack is fire ngl everyone just knows him for making this song but barely anybody knows his other songs like two time, fighter, and so much more like- they’re so good😭
I'm so glad that not only Jack Stauber is getting more notoriety, but also this song in particular. It's dark in subject matter, but very enjoyable to listen to (hopefully that doesn't sound too dark😅).
"i never heard a jack stauber song!'
yes u did : peppermint, oh klahoma, buttercup, doctor, baby hotline, just take my wallet, cupid and MUCH MORE
And the bees are out or whatever its calldd
@@nancyrangel-l4b yes
i believe this song is about a woman who called a suicide hotline , and got put on hold . After a bit , she k!lled herself . very deep meaning to a somewhat innocent looking song .
Nice
I interpret this song as a lady who is depressed because of a miscarriage or still has a baby and is trying to convince herself not to kill herself so that the baby can live
You are a true talent, don't ever stop creating.
I was super into this dude in 2019-2020 and it’s weird to see him only getting this much recognition now
great job adding to the content! great insight when you nodded your head
I love how he makes the songs sad, but serous topic, and its weird core. This song is one of my faves❤
This man is truly an artist. I love his stuff so much
For those of u who don't know this song has a static of a phone which is when a girl commited suicide.
I feel so bad for him. His girlfriend called te suidal hotline since she was thinking about killing herself and they hung up so she ended up doing it. That’s why in the song jack says “ to she her okey” feel so bad for him
i love jack stauber so much, he makes songs, stories, and many things about serious topics in such an abstract way that even sometimes you can find mutiple definitions within them, he makes literal masterpieces
Jack stauber looks like a fun uncle, who brings presents every time he comes.
Coffee is probably my favorite song of his, but Baby Hotline and Control are both great too!
jack stauber makes the most relatable music with the best vibes. just imagine
“stay friends, problems that you can’t defend” as you walk home from school past your classmate’s house, who doesn’t like you anymore
“tears falling down at the party” alone on your birthday.
“i insist somebody will die and i hate hoping.” when you’re on the verge of death and trying to get help but your parents tell you it’s just a phase.
Ah man I love him. I hope he's doing alright and drops a song soon!
dude i lowkey wanna meet this guy. hes literally the realest music artist ever.
He’s a really good singer actually ❤❤❤❤😊
For those who don't know the song "baby hotline" is an a girl who was depressed and wanted to khs so she called a suicide hotline called "baby hotline" but they kept putting her on hold and she ended up shooting herself
Hope this helps!
The best artists make songs to no matter who is listening you can find your own meaning within the song

I’ve been listening to Jack for years and it’s pretty cool to see him popping off like this.
Underrated artist imo
Bro jack is the type of uncle to bring candy everytime he comes over 😭
