Discover the story of the song > Mean – waveform*

The protagonist goes back to their partner's bed and feels cold and overwhelmed. They mention memories of the bed. In the chorus, they talk about doing things for their partner like opening their door and styling their hair, while their partner watches the weather. In verse 2, they mention bright lights and being clean, while their partner takes photos of deer and they push sticks into their toad's head. Overall, the song seems to be about a somewhat odd and unequal relationship where one person does things for the other while the other watches or enjoys their own hobbies.
