I think what Casablancas was trying to say with this song was...There's no point to any of this. It's all just a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So he takes pleasure in the details. You know... a quarter-pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle... and he sits back and he smokes his Camel Straights and he rides his own melt.
The End has no End
here's my silly piggyback on that--
the nature of the video seems to be a mock up of a "play of life" scenario. the story begins midway, when your youth begins to wane and you realize the true and awful tragedy that is the human condition. one almost feels as though they are watching life from the perspective of someone about to die, like a movie projected into the mind. we have no choice but to play the role of the actor, and endless cycle of seemingly meaningless steps, tasks, conversations, expositions, climaxes and conclusions.
