From what i've heard, this song is about a woman who got put on hold for 20 minutes on a suicide hotline, and was later found dead with a gunshot wound. The lyrics "hoarder of quarters" comes from when she would pick up coins off the street.

This sounds like a very well organized and planned anxiety attack

[hercrownalignedllc]

The instrumentals sound like a nostalgic memory of a time I never experienced.

[ummtulip]

jack stauber has his own vibe to his music

[GROWSNAPOFFICIAL]

The song has a disturbing and nostalgia feel makes you feel safe and not so safe at the same time and gives you a a vibe of happiness as well it's extremely magical what a simple song can do here.

I like how Jack Stauber's songs have VERY DEEP backstories, yet they all are still a banger.

[vladimirvladimirovicmajako]

I heard this song on an Instagram reel and as soon as I heard the first seconds I thought "yeah, that's Stauber." He really has a unique vibe.

It's *my* mental breakdown and *I* get to choose the music

[apparentlyrefunded]

This song has a terrible backstory.
Many people thought it was about a man who killed his wife but it's truly
About a suicide hotline that took place in 2016.
The line "hoarder of quarters" means that his wife liked collecting quarters.
And the line "someday when I go back outside, I'll see your okay" means the singer (Jack Stauber) wants to see her collecting quarters on the street again.
she called a suicide prevention hotline and they just put her on hold. (remember a SUICIDE PREVENTION hotline)
And by the time they called her back, she had already killed herself. Neighbors really missed her and said that the incident should never happen again, or should have never happened.

This feels like a mental breakdown and I like it

Edit: you guys can stop telling me about his wife I know

[Alyssa_the.besttt]

“Wishing that the pill let you cry and I hate coping” best line and most relatable for me☠️

Thanks for 2k guys✋🤩

Lyrics:

Baby Hotline
Please hold me close to you
Baby flat-line
Still time to do it too
(Ha-ha-ha!)
Baby snack time
Chow down to earth but in your head

She's a hoarder of quarters
And no boundary boredom-dum
Boundary boredom

I contend that your drinking eye has never opened
I insist somebody will die
And I hate hoping
Wishing that the pills let you cry
And I hate coping
Someday I will go back outside
And see her okay

(Hotline!)
Hung up and put on hold!
(Hotline!)
My line is getting cold!
(Hotline!)
Hung up and put on hold!
(Hotline!)
"Oh, uh, I'll try again"

Baby Hotline
Please dial "9" to get out!
No flat-line
What were you scared about?
(Ha-ha-ha)
Baby sat by and felt the wind

At least I called her a hoarder of quarters
And no boundary boredom-dum
Boundary boredom!

I contend that your drinking eye has never opened
I insist somebody will die
And I hate hoping
Wishing that the pills let you cry
And I hate coping
Someday I will go back outside
And see her okay

(For a while)
(While, oh)
(For a while)
(While, oh)
(Hotline!)
Hung up and put on hold!
(Hotline!)
My line is getting cold!
(Hotline!)
Hung up and put on hold!
(Hotline!)

Numb, feel burning with haste
And I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste
I feel numb, I've been burning with haste
And I'm realizing now what a terrible waste
I feel numb, I've been burning with haste
And I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste
I feel numb, I've been burning with haste
And I'm realizing now it's a terrible waste
I feel numb

What a waste
What a waste
What a waste

Sunbathe 'til morning time
And your e-eyes will open wide
(What a waste)
Oh baby nevermind
And my si-ight will run and hide

I can say
Oh wrap it in with cinnamon
(What about...)
I've been dead
Oh wrap the trouble now (Ha Ha!)
I feel so good
Ring won't bend (And you did it)
Thinking bent, oh
I won't stay more anymore, oh I don't even think about it

Oh you know I don't
Oh you know I don't
Oh you know I don't
Oh you know I don't

I hate hoping, Oh-oh-oh
I hate hoping, Oh-oh-oh
I hate hoping, Oh-oh-oh
I hate hoping, Oh-oh-oh

This feels like something that would play if you were going insane

Okay, a lot of people here are messing up the story, and I wanna get the record straight.

This song is about a real woman who was depressed and was seeking help.
Her own mental state mocked her, basically telling her to do it already (baby flatline, still time to do it too.)
Her husband loved and supported her (baby hotline, hold me close to you.)
The “hoarder of quarters line” is often misinterpreted as she liked collecting quarters, that’s not what this means at all. Not a lot of people know this, but for old school hotlines you needed quarters to call people, like a toll. So this is to reference how many times she called the hotline, it was like she was a hoarder of quarters the way she kept calling the hotline. It’s a clever play on words, obviously the “suicide hotline” isn’t an actual pay a quarter hotline, but those old pay a quarter hotlines actually needed you to pay a quarter. It’s just supposed to truly tell you how many times she called that hotline.
“I contend that your drinking eye has never opened.” This is because she’s not dead. Often times when people commit suicide they’ll get drunk, and in their drunken state they become emotional and point out all the flaws about themselves. Stuff that they “didn’t see before.” Almost, like a drinking eye. Considering she has not yet committed suicide, her “drinking eye” never opened. This is once again, either someone else mocking her or her own mental state.
Her husband, knows that soon she might try to commit suicide, and he hates hoping things will get better, because they never do. (I contend somebody will die, and I hate hoping.)
She’s been taking medicine to deal with this depression, the pills are supposed to make everything better, but they’re not. This shows a duality. The song is saying the husband (after the death) and the wife (before the suicide) are both taking pills. He hates coping with her loss, and she hates coping with her depression, cause she truthfully just wants to let go.
And the last line is self explanatory.

The main story is basically, lady is depressed, her husband is trying to help her. Her own mental state mocks her. She calls a suicide hotline because she can’t take it anymore, the suicide hotline puts her on hold and hangs up on her multiple times. By the time the suicide hotline calls her back, she’s already committed suicide.

The husband is trying to cope with this loss.

i love how the ringing of the phone at the end of the song loops and starts the song with jack answering the call

[td_is_infinite]

this song really is just a happy song for the first like 2 minutes and it makes it oddly insane for some parts with a disturbing backstory sprinkled behind it, which is why i love this song

[DV_Official]

this song in a lot of ways also has that feeling of 'Spiraling' in depression...
the sudden beat changes, and the unique song structuring..

[giftedlicense]

That ending... When the operators finally picked up but it was too late... The endless ringing is haunting, man. It gives me chills, like actually. It's the kind of horror that comes from the realization. Completely vague, and yet terrifying to those who know. Oh god, it's just... Jack Stauber is a brilliant storyteller.

[NBI_xd]

One thing I find interesting is how many people tend to miss-interpret the hoarder of quarters line.
The hoarder of quarters line, although it sounds like the woman collected quarters, is actually referring to how many times she called the hotline.
Since old suicide hotlines were pay phones, you’d have to use a quarter use them.
So it’s saying
" she called that hotline so many times she was like a hoarder of quarters! "
Although she isn’t actually using a pay phone, the line is just saying that she was like a hoarder of quarters with how many times the called the hotline. ^^

[aribaluvsjumbie]

I’ve been looking for this song for a long time
I’m so glad I found it
