Yeah, the video is pretty much right on track.

But there're some things I think the video didn't add in due to time constraints. But it still got the basic point across.

"Balance is a minor setback" - Him being drunk, I believe.

"What she thinks is alright, and the way that she looks is just fine. She sure as hell ain't you but lord knows she'll have to do." - Not his girl but he doesn't care, probably because he's drunk.

"She don't know I'm alive but neither do I so there's nothing left to lose. If I could only make it make you want to want me." - She's doing him for the money, obviously due to her not caring about him at all. But he wants her to.

"One more drink, I think, should do." - He's drunk.

Peace
