Conan Gray’s “Comfort Crowd” Lyrics Meaning

“Comfort” Crown” tackles the importance of having a person around to offer comfort in times of need. As is clear in the initial verse, the writer seems to be dealing with some kind of pain or loneliness, yet no matter how he pretends, he realizes that he desperately needs someone to help him through it.

Though he initially pretends that he is fine, he acknowledges that he just needs his friend or a group of friends around to keep him company. He recalls how when he is with them, they just talk, have fun and waste away, yet these moments mean a lot to him. As he continues, he implies that friendship is an essential part of his life. And why? Because though his friends and him have a lot of good times, he can always trust them to help him deal with his down moments as well.
