SAME! I am working on a whole artistic study for this album it is just so amazing, a true masterpiece I love seeing artists of different kinds expanding the universe they brought us in the album (hope that made sense :) )
I think that this songs meaning is about admitting to taking comfort in someone while the world falls apart around you. The lines “the leader of the free world reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight golden trunks” may be referring to Donald Trump (or any political leader) and the narrator is saying that he believes that this man who has been entrusted with the responsibility of leading people does things for show (hence the attention grabbing golden trunks and I also think this lines up with Trumps past with reality tv, a genre infamous for its vanity) and because of this tendency, he has let his responsibilities fall through the cracks. This idea of the world falling apart can also be seen later in the song with the lines “bendable figures with a fresh new pack of lies summat else to publicize”. This may be referring to the media taking on a false narratives to create a story and continuing to change their story or manipulate the truth based on what they want to sell the public. The next line, “I’m sure you’ve heard about enough”, is what ties the two parts of this song together. The lovers engaging in escapism and the surrounding world being a mess. When the narrator says “I’m sure you’ve heard about enough” he is emphasizing that the other person who he is speaking to is also fed up with the state of the world and they share a common point of view. So instead of being frustrated about being powerless to watching the the world collapse, they take comfort with each other. And it is because of these exterior issues that have lead to the narrators ability to to finally admit that they have feelings for the person who they are speaking to ( hence the line I must admit I fantasize about you too). Also the fact that this line is repeated multiple through the the song signifies that throughout it all these two people have been there for each other and in the last part of the song when the line changes from “and in response to what you whispered in my ear I must admit I fantasize about you too” to “so in response to what you whispered in my ear I’ll be upfront, sometimes I fantasize about you too” it shows that overtime these feelings have only grown stronger. Idk this is just my interpretation of a relatively confusing song lol. It think the key to understanding this albums lyrics isn’t paying attention the the words themselves, but rather the feelings and imagery associated with them.

I'm not saying I agree but I'll try to point out a few things that may make people think it's about him. 1)The song has no pronouns or gendered words like babe, darling, girl etc so it could be about anyone, male or female. 2) The whole "the leader of the world reminds you of a wrestler..." means he's talking with someone who's interested in wrestling. Apparently Miles is a big fan of WWE and specifically Ric Flair who's known for wearing the aforementioned golden trunks 3) Alex said he wrote the song in 2016 during the U.S. election. EYCTE tour ended in august of that year. While on stage both miles and alex were constantly whispering on each other ears, probably about song orders and stuff like that but it could just also just be (for the sake of this explanation) that miles would confess his feelings by whispering in his ear and alex would later respond with this song Whatever it is, it's just a beautiful song
Don't you love when one of the songs you hated becomes one of your favorites
Dude i love the songs progression, its all stress until the last 30 seconds where it suddenly sounds really sweet and almost romantic
This album makes me want to make an illustration for each and every sentence
You feel the same way I thought I was crazy trying to draw one point perspective
im doing this right now

Listen to this and think about space 🪐
Why do people think this is about miles?
I'm not saying I agree but I'll try to point out a few things that may make people think it's about him.
1)The song has no pronouns or gendered words like babe, darling, girl etc so it could be about anyone, male or female.

Whatever it is, it's just a beautiful song
♡
What does this song means, it confuses me
same but yeah i love it
It means being in love and your desires and psyche - inner self taking over you
And the leader part shows how everything is fabricated and unreal.
