Lyrics from Genius:
[Verse 1: Joji]
Lately, I've been slippin' away from you
Can you tell me, does it hurt today?
Yeah, there's no way, yeah (No way, no way, no way)
To burn, there's no flames, yeah (There's no flames)
Praying nine to five like a saint for you (Like a saint)
Can you tell me how it turned this way? (How?)
Yeah, things have changed, yeah (Yeah)
Yeah, filled with rage, yeah (Filled with rage)

[Chorus: Joji]
So lost in these diamonds
So lost in this paradise
Don't speed on that highway
We need you to shine bright
When life gets too complicatеd
Please stand with me aftеr dark
I'll stay in the limelight
Like a beautiful afterthought
Like a beautiful afterthought

[Verse 2: BENEE]
Sometimes, you'd ask me for something different
Hated when you did it, I wish that you didn't
I would do things and you'd get annoyed, I
Should've never done them, I wish I was different
Why do we have to step away now?
It's been a year, been a couple days now
Since you called me sayin' you're worried
Been hard for me dealin' with this space now
No company, wishin' we could sit down
'Cause I'm sorry, but you don't want me
[Chorus: Joji]
So lost in these diamonds
So lost in this paradise
Don't speed on that highway
We need you to shine bright
When life gets too complicated
Please stand with me after dark
I'll stay in the limelight
Like a beautiful afterthought
Like a beautiful afterthought

[Outro: BENEE & Joji]
I don't wanna forget about you
I don't wanna forget about you, oh
I don't wanna forget about you
I don't wanna think about it
Think about it

That one little detail in the song at 1:36 hits me so hard every time. I love when artists put the little things into their songs like that.

[WhiteLight]

just got out of a 2 year relationship, let's just say I'm gonna be blasting this album for a while :(

Edit: Thanks for the love guys, im gettin better. I appreciate the motivation 💚

[aanya]

[julianpaulattard]

Artists need to just start releasing slowed versions of their albums 😭

[marioleonida]

Why are all of Joji’s songs so nostalgic ahhh 😌😌😫

[lentawuzgood]

This song is just on repeat slowed or not 😩

[tannerbendtsen]

Okay but will you do a version that just reverb to make it sound like an empty arena? please i’ll do anything.

[georgelanadar]

Benee slowed sounds like a new R&B rapper that is debuting on Jojis album lol

[inevitablymoze]

Damn this version hit different when you’re ✨depressed✨

[abzeeplayz]

This is song is such a vibe I can’t get tired of it!
Specially slowed!

[alyssaguerrero]

[zander]

[josephrhenz]

[ayulafferty]

I like that SOME of the videos from the album somewhat relate to the lyrics & the other videos, logically this is all just speculation, but, hear me out:

- The green blob thingy from Afterthought, Normal People and Reanimator is alien life of some kind, the blob itself seems alive, it resembles an octopus in my opinion.

- The photovoltaic power station alias solar farm from Tick Tock was settled in an alien planet (most certainly Mars, I will explain in a moment) either by Joji & his crew or by himself, the title of the song probably alludes to the fact that he's running out of time, mayhap he needs to escape the planet because a volcano erupted, mayhap he is simply losing his patience due to something that concerns him on an emotional level, etc.

- The lava flows from Ew, 777 and Mr. Hollywood are from the Olympus Mons, the colossal shield volcano on the planet Mars, its devastating effect on the planet forces Joji's flight from the Red Planet.

- The honeycomb from Upgrade is probably shown as the positive results of the terraforming done by Joji & his crew, the terraforming idea feels viable to me since rei brown says, “New planet, yeah, we planted everything we wanted”.

I would get more in-depth with this stuff, but, I am currently tired as 🦆 [sic], so, I'll leave things like this for the time being 😁!

P.s.: Nectar gets a solid 8 from me!

PPS: “[...] No one will be here to save you,
And no one will be here to let you know,
This is your world”
