On Apple Music, Rina says of the interlude:
"Initially, this song was longer, but I feel like it just tells the story already. Sometimes a song doesn’t need that full structure. I wanted it to feel like I’m dissociating from what’s happening on Earth and floating in space and looking at the world from above.

Fuck This World
Rina Sawayama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At times I let it consume my own mind, oh oh
Fuck this world, I'm leaving you
Fuck this world, I'm leaving you
Fuck this world, I'm leaving you
You, you
Fuck this world, I'm leaving you
Fuck this world, I'm leaving you
Fuck this world, I'm leaving you
You, you, you
Fuck this world, I'm leaving
Sick of what you people taking
Fuck 'em, better to be the top
Fuck this world, it's dying
'Cause you people keep on lying
No one cares, but our drip, slow down
That's why I'm comforting stars
Pouring a map for my scars
Gravity can't pull us apart
Here's to the new life on Mars
Fuck it, now let's get fucked up
Fuck this world, I'm leaving you
If I leave, then maybe I can start again
Though I hope I'm wrong, don't have a better chance
Then I look a around and see that I'm alright
This is a mission impossible
May not be solvable
May not be viable
But least we're trying
This is a mission impossible
Maybe unlovable
Maybe unstoppable
But least we're trying
