Hug All Ur Friends Lyrics

What's it like to be alone on a Sunday
Remembering the time you saw them just yesterday?
Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts
I could listen to you all night long
And I don't care about my sleeping routine
I fucked it up as it is but we've...

   This is just my opinion, but for me this song is about committing suicide. Not necessarily the singer, but perhaps a friend of the singer. I think of this song this way because I've had a friend attempt that and I think the song fits that narrative. In the first and fourth stanza where the singer is remembering something hints at past memories, and the eighth stanza suggests that the singer is feeling angry or some other extreme emotion, and that the second person could help if they were there. I think the biggest connection to this interpretation is the chorus. The singer says that 'life's too short to worry about the things we got wrong,' and also about the second person not letting go. Both of these in my opinion point towards some sort of suicide or attempt at suicide because the lines seem to point to or hint at that.

   I personally think the songs about suicide or loosing friends in general. When i say suicide i mean suicide of a friend. Perhaps the song is spreading a message to “hug all your friends, and let them know you’re not letting go” is to remind you how fast they can be gone. Or if not being abandoned by a friend. I think this as a part of the song says “i would hug all my friends if they werent friends with you” possibly implying that a friend has replaced the creator with a someone he (cavetown) doesnt get along with or in general has taken away his friend. I think the songs about the pain of the loss of a friend (suicide or abandonment)

   this is a beautiful song, that has brought tears to my eyes, more than once. i think Robbie, a.k.a Cavetown, is expressing his need for physical touch, something i am realizing i need more than i thought i did. the chorus says, "life's too short to worry about the things that we got wrong so hug all ur friends and let them know youre not letting go" its pretty self-explanatory. dont take for granted the "normal" things, the routine things, and dont let little disagreements ruin and break your friendship. and the bridge "know what its like to be nothing at all, when the night turns cold, my thougths feel like stone and its nothing i cant change i cant breathe anymore i forgot how to walk by myself, i could do with a little more of your help" he's admitting that he feels worthless and needs someone to remind him he matters. and that he cant do this alone.
