CreepHyp - “Twenty-Nine, Thirty” (MUSIC VIDEO)

This song portrays a realistic picture of standing at the milestone of entering your thirties and wrestling with how you should live the rest of your life.

Wanting to be reborn as something other than human so you could live without thinking, getting laughed at for talking about ideals and being too dreamy—many people have probably experienced the situations described in the lyrics.
