Yeah, the full album is absolutely genius. The song fades out to represent how our childhood is slowly drifting away the older we get. I also noticed that someone referred to the song as like "a dream" and it matches the first song perfectly. You're dead on with that. The Suburbs song starts with a massive gong, as if trying to wake you up, which I believe is a recurring theme throughout the album. Waking up. Realising your childhood is drifting away and how much everyone wants it back but just can't get it.
This song brought me close to tears, it really is the perfect outro. After hearing The Suburbs album for the first time, I went around the streets on my bike trying to relive my memories a little bit, but much like Half Light says, it just felt so hollow. Like the fun had just been drained.

Best band on earth? I think so.
