Discover the story of the song > Mum – Luke Hemmings

This song is about a person, referred to as "he," who has stopped calling his mom and feels guilty about it. He keeps dreaming of chandeliers and her voice. He tells his mom he'll be home in December and he's trying to drown out the bad things he's done. He feels heavy and wants her to hear him calling for her, but nothing hurts him anymore. The instrumental bridge shows he's trying to find his way back to how things used to be and he sees his mom in everything.
