Everlasting friend why are you so certain?
Why do you defend this contagious burden?
Are you still here?

This confrontation killing the perfect one.
Alien shivers stalling his victory run (come along with me). Drifting away as the dopamine ray of his sun appears.

Radiant and free.
Eyes were sore from laughter.
Now you claim to see purpose in disaster.
Are you still here?

    My Interpretation

    The video for the song is loosely inspired by a short story from Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges called “The Circular Ruins” (1940) in which a mysterious, anonymous man set himself on a task to dream a human being & make it come to life. Themes present in his story include idealism, immortality & thoughts manifesting in the tangible world. In essence this song warns to be careful what you wish for. Having such a lofty burden of aspiration will likely only end up being a exercise in futility - in other words, a complete waste of time endeavor.
