“Line of Sight” by Odesza (ft. WYNNE and Mansionair)
It appears that the motif of this song (“Line of Sight”) centers on the vocalist presenting himself as sort of a fool of optimism. In other words, he “don’t learn” from disappointments of the past. Instead, he keeps foraging ahead towards a brighter future nonetheless. Possessing such a disposition of faith, if you will, has cast his life into one of certainty. So therefore as far as the briefly-referenced addressee goes, he is asking this individual to help add some stability to his life.
