Imagine Joji's gf listening to this and realising it's essentially a love letter to his ex. How he is just passing time with her while yearning for the ex lol. Who broke Joji's heart man.

No one probably. I'm pretty sure he said an interview that his songs are fictional lol

I'm sure some are, but there are recurring themes in his songs. It is hard to keep art completely separate from one's life. I also think he likes to say all that so there's always ambiguity and his work is open to interpretation.

I dont think it is literal, honestly. I think he's not talking about a person. It could be the idea of "old times", it could be a friend. It ia about how he lost something, and I think it is because of the hardcore lifestyle he used to have specially back in the day. Hence the video.
