: The video features Sloan sitting calmly in a recliner as flames gradually engulf the room around her.
: While the lyrics are heavy and pessimistic, the production is more upbeat and percussion-led compared to her debut album, creating what she describes as a "fun vibe" for live performances. Official Music Video Review
Directed by , the video visually reinforces the song's themes of apathy and existential dread:
by Sasha Alex Sloan is a sardonic indie-pop anthem that explores nihilism and depression with a self-aware, "glass-half-empty" perspective. Released as the title track of her 2022 sophomore album, the song and its accompanying video represent a shift toward a bolder, more cynical era of her musicality. Song Themes and Meaning
: The lyrics reject "toxic positivity," with Sloan questioning the purpose of life, love, and religion. She uses metaphors like the "glass half empty" to symbolize a constant focus on negative aspects of life.
: Inspired by the isolation of the pandemic and works like Don't Look Up and Severance , the song captures a feeling of "brutal realism" and loss of control.
: She is seen going through the mundane motions of her day—getting a glass of water and staring out the window at police lights—before returning to her chair, completely unfazed by the surrounding fire.
