2:45.
“
I'm going out now like a baby
A naïve unsatisfiable baby
Grabbing onto whatever's around
For the soaring high or the crushing down
With hidden cracks that don't show, but that constantly just grow.
— Elliott Smith
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I'm going out now like a baby
A naïve unsatisfiable baby
Grabbing onto whatever's around
For the soaring high or the crushing down
With hidden cracks that don't show, but that constantly just grow." in the context of "2:45." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
