You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around

You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around is a cover of Grimes' song that seems to deal with themes of self-harm, suicide, and longing for recognition. The lyrics suggest that the speaker has attempted suicide and may have some regrets, but is still willing to try again. The lines "If you don't bleed, then you don't die" and "Cross my heart and hope to fly" may indicate a desire for self-harm as a way to feel alive or prove one's existence.
Despite the dark subject matter, the chorus You'll miss me when I'm not around implies a level of desperation for attention and validation from others. The repetition of "last call" could suggest a final plea for help or a final attempt at connection before the speaker ends their own life. The promise to kiss you good night and the reference to seeing the other person "underground" could suggest a belief in an afterlife or a feeling of comfort in the idea of being missed even after death.
Overall, the song seems to express the pain of feeling unseen and unimportant, with self-harm and suicide as a means of trying to feel something and be noticed. The chorus may be a warning to those around the speaker to pay attention before it's too late.
