I think taking and eating the apple from her younger self signifies Phoebe accepting her birth, her existence, and making out with her older self signifies the acceptance of her death, the ceasing of her existence. It's so clever - to begin with she finds it hard to come to terms with life and the monotony of it (signified by the many sets of the same dripping clothes, implying she does the same ritualistic washing behaviour every day) and by the end she doesn't want to let go of life, to such an extent that she is literally running from death. She has to come to terms with the end of this life that she once found so hard to accept that she has.
Life is weird. You don't ask to be born and you don't ask to die, but you can't do anything to prevent it. To me, this video is about just that.

I'm a 56-year old dad whose 17-year old daughter took me with her to see this gal in concert in Vancouver (payback for me taking her to see Dead & Company earlier in the summer), and I have to say I was blown away by her talent, especially this song as the finale. Moving experience, and I understand the world through my daughter's eyes a lot better now. Phoebe Bridgers is the real deal!

alright y'all hear me out.... hearing this in concert and at the end when the scream happens whole audience screams and not the normal screaming at a concert no no but just a gut-wrenching scream that expresses all the things you have been keeping pent up... just a thought that I think would be super cool to experience

ive always felt a sort of disconnectedness from my life, never entirely happy nor sad, just, alive. thats whats so magical to be about phoebe. all her music just perfectly fits into the niche of not really feeling. not happy, but not sad either. there is a definite emotion to it, but you donāt really know what it is. its just chaos. i love it

This song (and especially the ending with the screams) reminds me of my first experience of insomnia. I was around eleven at that time and asked myself a lot of questions about death, about my own existence. About what I would become when it would all end. I spent nights terrified, locked into anxious thoughts of not existing anymore. It was so brutal I couldn't sleep for days. Then it somehow... passed. Because I try not to spiral into it again. But the ending of this song reminds me of that silent yet deafening fear.
