Yr Dad
This song seems to talk about the fears that someone has and how their special one sees it from outside. In it, there are some references to how the person that’s referred to in the song tries to go outside, to parties and stuff, but gets lonely and ends up being the “Saddest little baby in the room” so their special one tries to comfort them, listening to their fears, which also kind of damages them, “Get a little grey hair for every scare they share”
Set the phasers to rot
A play on the Star Trek phrase ‘set the phasers to stun’. Replacing the word ‘stun’ with ‘rot’ implies the damage that can be done in more implicit ways, as with low mood or personal conflict.
What has got you distraught?
It’s negative attention at best
But call it nothing
Maybe it’s something, a little bit, a little bit
Maybe it’s something to do a little bit
The speaker is comforting their friend, but they don’t know why their friend is feeling this way and feel like they’re blowing a situation out of proportion, so in trying to comfort them they’re telling their friend that what they’re upset about is really nothing.
It’s all about ascension, I guess
The narrator feels like they might only be comforting their friend for fear of being a bad person. If they are not kind enough, they might not ascend to heaven.
Alternate interpretation:
In the previous line the singer admits that there might be something to their friends worries saying “Maybe it’s something, a little bit”. In this line the singer uses the line “It’s all about ascension” to reference simply moving past, and not dwelling on the problems. They themselves don’t know how to fix their friends problems (like when they next say “I guess”, but still want to be there for them.
Don’t put me to rest
The singer doesn’t want their friend to ‘put them to rest’, or ignore their aid. They want to help their friend as much as they can.
Go on and hand me your clothes
(O-oh, here you go)
Take a picture or two
(Two or three?)
I can see you
(Oh)
Nudity is often a symbol of vulnerability. The narrator can see the full, unfiltered self of the other person.
Tears falling down at the party
Saddest little baby in the room
Fears, tell me fears, don't get me started
I get a little gray hair for every scare you share
Grey hairs are often thought to be caused by stress. The narrator feels overburdened by the emotional weight that their partner has placed on them, causing the narrator to feel so stressed. White hair also refers to old age, so we can also interpret that the narrator’s partner has so many problems that it would take a lifetime to point them all out.
Those aren't meant to bend
No, those aren't meant to bend
Those aren't meant to bend
No, those aren't meant to bend*
The narrator is “bending over backwards” for their friend. They are sacrificing their own mental well being to help this person and it’s not healthy. Relationships aren’t supposed to drain you to this extent, that’s why emotional boundaries are so important.
“Bend someone’s ear” is an informal phrase for talking to someone for a long time. An example from Merriam Webter is “He didn’t really care about me, he just wanted to bend my ear about his own problems.”
Here, the narrator tells this person that they do not have to share every single one of his trauma or problem, perhaps because it makes them feel uncomfortable or perhaps all that sharing occurs at the expense of the person listening
*
hear your eyes and I see those cries
I hear those eyes and I see those cries
I can't be the only one who hears you
The speaker does not want to be their friend’s only source of comfort or help because it’s taking a toll on them mentally (they keep getting little grey hairs). It could be also that the speaker sees that no one else notices that their friend is not okay
Yr Dad
I think that this song revolves around the external perspective of someone watching their loved one go through something hard on their mental state, and what it does to them too.
The speaker remains an outside view for the entire musical piece, always talking about hearing, seeing, and listening to the troubled subject.
While they try to be supportive, always hearing the stresses of the other instills fear and exhaustion into the listener. “Fears, tell me fears, don’t get me started..” alone tells many tales. The speaker is telling the other their fears, while the listener themselves has their own worries about them.
“I get a little grey hair for every scare you share” suggests that the fear and stress are wearing them out.
While this does technically handle two ‘Characters’, the song is primarily focused on the listener trying to take care of the other.
The person who’s like this does not only hear you, hears you with his permission, and monitors the expressions of your face, the movements of your eyes, the gestures of your body, and the dismemberment of your words. And not only he takes this information, no. He takes it and treats it deeply with his brain.

I might die

This song reminds me of the loss of a friend or loved one. Especially with the 'it's all about ascension', 'go on and hand me your clothes', and 'take a picture or two'.
I got reminded of my grandma's death long ago where she used to hand me her clothes before she passed on. The 'take a picture or two' reminds me of when we used to do that and now it became something i'll cherish.
Mostly this reminds me of losing someone to suicide. "Those aren't meant to bend" the neck.
As well as "tears falling down at the party, saddest little baby in the room" makes me remember when I used to visit a nearby small church we rented and it had her coffin in there before she was put in an urn.
"I get a little gray hair for every scare you share." Could be interpreted as suicide attempts.

Saddest little baby
Beers my beers to get me started
I contain a dog gray hair for every scare you share
Those are men
Spare
I hear your eyes and I see those crimes
I hear those eyes, can I see those cries?
I can't be the only one who hears you
Falling down the barge
Saddest little baby
Piers, public fears, to get me started
I stay Nuttall gray hair for every scare you share
Those are men
[Music]
[Applause]

Saddest little baby
First, tell me fierce
Can't get me started
On my dime
You

“Tears falling down at the party, saddest little baby in the room” Really hit hard man.
For my birthday this year I was with my mother, her boyfriend, my sister and her friend. So right after they said happy birthday to me, and I blew out the candles on the cake, they just left. I was fully alone for 5 hours, and spend the entire day just crying
A nobody
I'm so sorry you had to go through that... I hope next year is great and spend it with fun loving/caring people. You definitely deserve more 💗💓make sure to stay hydrated okie :)
user2342
I’m so sorry, I hope your feeling better. Just remember there are always people who care about you
Local Pineapple
Awww:(
just an opinion
I'm not gonna get into details my birthday was bad too. But moulin Rouge tought me when I was very young that the greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. The things you want, want you too that's why it feels so good when your doing what's made for you. Hope your next birthday is better or you win big or meet someone who makes you feel like you discovered a new planet...
Alysaaaa smiley
Hey, hope your birthday this year goes/went better pal<3

I feel like a lot of people miss the true meaning of the song. The singer isn't the one who's crying, he's the emotional support. This song is about the stress and pain and confusion that comes with being essentially a free therapist for someone you love
DRAKORONUS
Yes. Exactly. It is really painful
Marco The Man
It hurts. I had a girl who I tried to live away her trauma but it doesn’t work. You can’t.
Namida
Yes it can suck
