This is through the eyes of a man on his deathbed of a car collision he intentfully caused to end his life because he's grown tired of the world. The song happens in his last moments of consciousness, where he is in between life and the illusion he imagines taking its place. On the pavement, a crowd of paramedics, police, and onlookers grows. People pushing each other aside like 'animals' to get a better view. He looks around and sees all the faint smiles and expressions of disbelief and 'trusts' each of them more as the signify he truly is dead. He begins fading in and out of his fantasy world that is his last lie before death. His "complex prize" is the brief moment before he is fully gone that time stops and lifetimes pass in a pindrop of a second. He envisions himself as somebody loved. Somebody rich and famous. "the crowd goes wild" and "the cameras make you seasick. It's so sweet of you, and your parents are proud."
His last thought is the bittersweet realization that the car explosion and the cameras make the same sound.
The theme of this song is that even death can be beautiful
