  If the song is about going too fast and choosing the wrong path, acquiring massive wealth but still feeling empty, and then at the end it is revealed it is a video game for people trying to escape reality, then what is the solution? <br>Feel like you have everything but really have nothing, or really have nothing and pretend you have everything. Is love really the only answer?

  Going with the theme, I don’t think he’s comparing himself to Midas bc he doesn’t call himself Midas, instead asking Midas to touch him and turn him into gold. I think those lines is him saying that he wants to be just a lifeless object of value and fame instead of a living person having to deal with all these emotions. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IWQLSkYLEM&amp;t=275">4:35</a>

  “lean in, let go.<br>i feel fear for the very last time.”<br><br>he’s committing suicide via falling from a high place, metaphorically, emotionally, and physically.

  &quot;They tell me Jesus Walks, I tell them money talks&quot;<br>I thought this line was referring to him not believing in religion

  The saddest part of this song is that it&apos;s called my ordinary life as if this is just a normal for him

  This is how our English teachers expect us to analyze something.<br>All jokes aside, this is a really well-made video. My ordinary life is truly a deep and horrifying song behind that bright and fun animation style. It also fits in with the message of the man trying to hide his emptiness with a colorful mask, but only just making him feel even more empty in the end.

  I think the part where it says “lean in, let go, I feel fear for the very last time” is actually him committing… yknow…

  To me, that final verse could also means that the man is about to commit suicide. &quot;Lean in, let go, I feel fear for the very last time&quot; that part might refer to him jumping off a highest place as he reminds himself (and to us) that this will be the last time he had to put up with all the stress and high expectation from society as well as the phobia of not living up to his image because hey, no point of caring all that if you&apos;re more dead than you already figuratively are.
