Watsky is describing the feeling right before fainting when one has a seizure. Despite that it is a bad thing, you feel at peace with yourself before you actually go out cold. He is making epilepsy sound more pleasing than it actually is, matching the idea stated in the chorus.
It is a trainwreck as it is still a bad event that takes place, but the best type of trainwreck due to the great feeling that one gets before actually having a seizure.

What a punchline!
If you break down Bigalow by every syllable, you’ll understand.
Big-L-owe
Big L is a very well known rapper, thus Spose is clarifying that he is not trying to make rap into something white (Deuce Bigalow).
Deuce Bigalow loved getting with ladies. Spose is also saying that he isn’t trying to strike out or take the “L” (lose) with ladies by trying to be hip-hop’s Deuce Bigalow.
If you’ve seen the movie,
you’d know Deuce Bigalow is a loser who gets ugly chicks.
Also, since the “L” is lowercase, Spose is saying he doesn’t want to make it a capital hence the “Big L” phrase
