This song is about a kid who lost his father, I love this song because it brings back so much nostalgia but it’s still sad when you think about the lyrics 😭

I am french and Stromae was one of my favorite singer when I was younger, I still listens to him btw.

AJR's song 'Yes I'm a Mess' is a candid reflection on personal struggles and messed up life problems and the acceptance of one's own imperfections. The lyrics paint a picture of a kid who is overwhelmed by the pressures of life, symbolized by the 'two hundred texts and many missed calls' and the feeling of being stuck in a job that was meant to be temporary. The song then reveals a hint of suicidal intentions and stuff in the second verse..!
The repetition of 'I'm in it now' suggests a sense of resignation to the current state of affairs, while also questioning if there's a possibility for a fresh start. Or even indicating to commit suicide..
