Kurt Vile – Girl Called Alex Lyrics 11 years ago
My Interpretation:

The mind's perception of reality is often fantasy. Kurt may not know the intricacies of the relationship of Alex and Mark, or what life will bring them. The mind, however, drifts toward telling Kurt they are happy and x, y, and z may happen in their lives.

"i wanna walk out into the night
without it bein runnin away
from a bad day in my brain
for the sake of a strip that i could be cruisin
in the comfort of a sportscar illusion"

To me, this is a MUSING that I can identify with: the thought of abandoning reality to live in superficial fantasy. This is not about that abandonment, but one's own conscious recognition of wanting this abandonment. But as I previously mentioned, the mind's perception is often not reality to begin with. In lieu of the false hope of trying to acquire reality, why not just abandon it for a fantasy that you can control?
