[@Hoot]

3:39 what an incredible lyric right here. _"I'm pretty sure my camera's gonna run out of battery"_ beautiful poetry. He's using the camera to record the video, but it's also a subtle take on the fugacious nature of life, the finite length of evanescent love and suffering. Not a quick, aggressive ending of all there is, but a more subtle fading of life and the will to keep going. _"Oh well"_ this is what ties it together: the final acceptance, secretly revelling in the finality of this infinitesimal shit life that we live.
