During the line “Letters keep me warm” which is at 1:52 and finishes at 1:57, I
plan on having a layer overtop the primary layer that is faded, yet still visible, of
letters falling.

Another idea is around the time of 3:09 onwards it to have the singer “bleed”.
This will give the idea that he has been injured yet he will keep singing as normal
until later when it’s a medium shot of the singers face will show him wipe away
some blood and look at it for a second or two.
