Since Blinking Lights is basically a concept album following one person through his entire life, I'd say those last lines are probably the inscription on his grave: So in the end I'd like to say That I'm a very thankful man I tried to make the most of my situations And enjoy what I have I knew true love and I knew passion And the difference between the two I have some regrets but if I had to do it all again Well, it's something I'd like to do Little bit of a tongue-in-cheek reincarnation reference at the end there. It's a nice sentiment, but also kind of funny too (much like how E's humor shows up on all his other albums).

I love the line "I do some stupid things But my heart's in the right place And this I know" I can relate to that so much. This is a song of no regrets. 1

the line "i feel like he's here with me now,even though he's dead" chokes me everytime i hear it. i love the way this slowly picks up what a great way to leave a message for the grandkids

I like this song. I played this song when I graduated high school during my film portfolio piece for my school. Its a nice end to the album. And I love the last lyrics. It's really a beautifully depressingly, happy song. If there is such a thing, Eels would be the master at it.
