It’s a loop

And the other side of the loop is a loop

This feels how molly must feel

The lyrics in this song have shifted and taken on a new meaning as I have listened to them over the years. In this sequence, we are calling back to one of the opening shots of the movie—a metaphor for young love. We see Emily and Luke in a similar phase of their relationship as Tyler and Alexis were. But, as an audience, we’re melancholic because we’ve been through this before and lost. Road trips are a very personal memory for me, and they have been an important part of my girlfriend and my relationship. It was important for me to recreate what this experience felt like. I was so naive when I was going to visit my dying father, it didn’t fully hit me until we arrived, I was just excited to hit the road with the person I loved. Working on the sound mix was emotional for me, this scene felt like I was spiritually recreating that experience.

Speaking of Nirvana, it was there

Rare as the feathers on my dash from a phoenix

There with my crooked teeth and companions sleeping, yeah

Dreaming a thought that could dream about a thought

That could think of the dreamer that thought

That could think of dreaming and getting a glimmer of God
