I believe this is a love song from Taylor to her mother. It is a continuation of “Soon you’ll get better” from Lover.
“They say the end is near” - Taylor has always been pretty private about her life and we don’t know how her mom is doing with cancer.
Many of the other lyrics are about pleasing someone and doing whatever they can to get and keep someone’s attention. As if to Taylor she has done much of what she has done in her life to get her mothers attention and please her. And she still feels this way today - she isn’t doing it for the fame or fortune, but to say “hey mom, look at me! Who will I be doing this for when you are gone?”
