It's About
St. Mucus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At the door with your weekend bag
7 months wrapped up inside it
Feels perfect, the timing
But I can't deny how fucked up the vibe is
How fucked up the vibe is
How does timeless turn into silence
The flowers I got you wilted like we did, I can see it
Happy Birthday, happy long weekend
You told me
I'm selfish, I'm greedy it's true
But all that I needed from you
Was a shoulder to cry on
But that's just bygones
My jean jacket faded like we did
Can you see it?
Now my weekdays feelin' like weekends
And my weekends are weak days
You said that you need space
But that's just not in the contract
And I'm not perfect, you said that you want that...
The sun is setting kinda like we did
Look what we did
It's upsetting, but I think that it was needed
My thoughts are heavy, I'm told I should move on
And I know it's petty, but to be honest...
You should cry about it
Yeah you should cry about it
Shed your tears like I did and feel how I feel
Yeah you should cry about it
The past is the past
Let's leave it like that, cause that's where it belongs right?
I'm sick of temptations and vices
But those feel better than the long nights
You wanna be friends you said?
And I should pretend that I'm cool with it
I left it on read instead
Cause I don't want nothing to do with it
And neither should you
So what's the next move?
To tell you the truth
Between me and you...well
You should cry about it
Yeah you should cry about it
Shed your tears like I did, and feel how I feel
Yeah you should cry about it
Yeah you should cry about it
Yeah you should cry about it
You should feel how I felt
We'll heal, but not yet
Yeah you should cry about it
No sainthood for sinners
No justice I'm bitter
I guess that I'll take the loss
Aint no sainthood for sinners
No trophies for quitters




I guess that we're better off...
Yeah you should cry about it

Overall Meaning

The song "It's About" by St. Mucus is a heart-wrenching ballad about the end of a relationship. The song's lyrics depict a moment when the singer's partner visits with a weekend bag, presumably to end the relationship. The singer reflects on the seven months they spent together while also acknowledging that the current situation feels "fucked up."


The lyrics speak to the natural course of a relationship: one that was once passionate and formed on the foundation of affection has now drifted into silence. The singer speaks about the flowers he gifted to his partner, which have since wilted. He rummages through his wardrobe only to realize that his jean jacket, which he wore during happy times with his lover, has also faded. The singer notes that his weekdays feel like weekends now that his lover is not there, and his weekends have become weak days.


The chorus of the song urges the ex-lover to "cry about it," insinuating that it's okay to grieve and feel the same hurt that the singer feels. The breakdown of the relationship was necessary, and the singer has "left it where it belongs, in the past." However, the pain is still present, and it's okay to feel it.
