I might just be crazy but at 2:42 when he’s down in the darkness on the platform it gives me such nostalgic vibes. Just the tone of those synthesizers have that early 2000’s trippy electronic feel to them, and it makes me feel reminiscent of those old Halo 1 maps that are dark and futuristic feeling, along with the Xbox, PS2, and GameCube main menus. There’s a part of me that wishes I could go back to that era when I was just in elementary school and be in total chill mode with that same cool/trippy yet relaxing music in a dark room playing video games with my friends or by myself.
