i personally think it’s sad because of the parallels between this song and “the chess game.” the biggest one for me is how in “the chess game” marvin says “winning is everything to me” and whizzer says “nothing is everything to me” but in this version, it’s flipped so that whizzer says “winning is everything to me” and marvin says “nothing is everything to me” and then he says “except you.” i think this is to show how their relationship has grown and how marvin has come to his senses and shown real character development. there’s also whizzer referencing to cheating multiple times, which is how he inevitably gets aids and dies
