Duncan Laurence Arcade Lyric Video Ft Fletcher [FAST · Checklist]
: A dimly lit, vintage arcade. Use neon signs (pink, blue, and purple) that flicker or buzz to represent "cracks" in the heart.
: For the line "I've spent all of the love I saved," show a coin being dropped into a machine that remains dark or says "Game Over".
