The most underrated lyrics in wuji — when they took turns to sing a slightly different line:

Lan zhan:
醒来了 upon waking
*怎能* how can i
当梦一场 treat this like it was all a dream

Wei ying:
醒来了 upon waking
*就* let’s just
当它梦一场 treat this like it was all a dream
hits extra hard with the previous line

是与非都过往 rights & wrongs have all happened/passed

lwj lived 13 years of regret, unable to step out of a nightmare; wei ying is dead

v

when wwx wakes, he feels less burdened. he’s already died once. the past feels like a lifetime ago
makes me think of wei wuxian’s heartache when lwj said “I have regrets”. he realized lwj had been beating himself up and rushed to console him “lan zhan, i never blamed you”.

the line makes me think of what he said to jc “the past feels like it was a previous life”
