Actually, the sound at the end of the song is the representation of losing someone you still love, and the resentment of them leaving you turns your love into hate, demonstrated through the calm sounds turning to scary ambient noises, that demonstrates frustration in something or someone you used to love.

this song is about mac demarcos relationship with his father, who was not really around or present when Mac was growing up, building tension between them as he grows, the entire album is a release of emotion on growing up without a father who loves you, i think it's beautiful

I met this beautiful girl in Greece one day at the beach. Swimming in the sea I saw her there and decided to say hi. Instantly we found ourselves in a beautiful conversation. We came out of the water and sat talking for hours on end all day until it was midnight. I remember feeling so light and feathery around her, as if I was in a dream. She left Greece the next day to fly somewhere else and I remember still being in Greece on my own, shocked at the beautiful experience that I’d just had with this angelic girl. We stay in contact still to this day via phone and I hope to see her again in person🙏
