Love is creatively portrayed through the imagery of a dark, gothic, toxic relationship, and metaphorically through the symbolism within the song's dark melancholic lyrics. To suit the video about, “the tragic love story of a boy who truly dies alone”, the “dark down south inspired sound”, mixed with simple and relatable, yet hard-hitting lyrics truly encompasses the pain of love, as explained by Spaceboi. When asked about his inspiration for creating this piece Spaceboi explains; “Unfortunately, love is something that can only end tragically love will kill us all, you either grow apart from each other or watch the one you love die, if you don’t die first but either way, you die alone which is the saddest part of it all”
With the video “Kagome” Spaceboikenny puts you in a drug-like induced state that will leave you enthralled in the tragedy of a love story. Spaceboi’s blend of cosmic, emo, and trap creates an eerie and unique atmosphere that perfectly captures the emotion of this song. The ending of the video leaves a sense of hopelessness and despair, which perfectly reflects the theme of the song.
