However great the fear, I will not look away
If at the end of everything, there is love

Watching flowers just blossomed fall
The trees stood by, helpless

I can’t believe that I’ll never see you again
I haven’t told you anything yet
I haven’t told you anything yet

We often don’t get the chance to say everything we want to or need to in the people in our lives before they’re going (through death or falling out or other causes)

If you could hear the newborn’s cry,
Sound and healthy
Ringing in the town you protected
I know you would be so pleased
The footsteps that continue after us

This most likely refers to the mech pilots around which Evangelion is based — the purpose of heroes is to protect and defend, so that even if they themselves fall there will be a new generation of humanity to follow in their footsteps

If you could see me now
I wonder what you would think
Me, living without you

Hikki is now separated from the person mentioned in the previous line, but still thinks about them.

This may be a reference to plot points in the film and/or Hikki’s own personal relationships. She was married to director Kazuaki Kiriya for four-and-a-half years before their work lives and personal issues drove them to file for divorce. She has also had an on-off again relationship with an unnamed boyfriend some eight years her senior.

Watching flowers just blossomed fall
“Too early, this year” you said,
In disappointment, regret
And you were beautiful

Here we see Hikki walking with someone who expresses their disappointment that the sakura blossoms arrived too early.

The cherry tree blooming season usually happens around August and there are huge festivals all throughout Japan to celebrate the occasion (some events, like the one in Kyoto, can go on for a week or longer)

The black/white motifs of Bacardi and Coke and the cookie are meant to highlight the racial collab between Gambino (a black dude) and MC Chris (a white) dude.

And the implications of black and white cookie (which is probably an Oreo) in relation to Gambino and his upbringing/career path can’t be ignored.

Troubadours were traveling musicians/composers who performed lyrical poetry for wealthy patrons. A lot of those compositions were intellectual and full of textual subtleties, covering a variety of styles and subjects; most troubadour songs, however, were about chivalry and courtly love.

This comparison is meant to illustrate Gambino’s belief that he brings a higher class of thinking and ability to the rap game

Gambino declares himself to be an unstoppable force of nature capable of wreaking destruction to other rappers wherever he goes

Gambino rocks with that Peter Pan green.

“Dookie on fire” translates to “hot shit”
