Maya Hawke's song "Coverage" is a reflection on memory, perception, and the nature of truth. The lyrics explore the idea that our perception of reality is not always accurate, and that we can be fooled into believing certain myths or narratives. The song opens with the image of "light in little rooms" and "water colors," suggesting a sense of nostalgia or longing for a simpler time. Hawke sings about the ways in which we create our own reality, and how memories can shape who we are and who we become. The chorus of the song poses the question of whether we are truly living in the moment, or simply "dreaming" our way through life. Hawke suggests that we may be caught up in our own illusions, unable to see things as they truly are. The verse "I told you it's gums and teeth / There's nothing moving underneath" speaks to the idea that what we see on the surface is not always reflective of what is happening beneath the surface. "Coverage" ultimately suggests that our perception of reality is shaped by a combination of memory, myth, and perception. The song is a meditation on the nature of truth, and the ways in which we construct our own realities.
