Original artwork, not a still
It’s good to be in something from the ground floor. I came too late for that and I know. But lately, I’m getting the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Arriving late to something can feel like missing its best years. The speaker admits that starting at the ground floor is a privilege they never had, and worries they joined just as the good part was ending. It's a wistful, slightly bleak sense of being behind the peak.
