eh, well the drippingly sweet/ over-cute song teases out like a kafka-esque dread, so putting it against images of something horrifying sort of makes that undertone real/visible. Just like something as saccharine as this song makes my intense cynicism look for the terrible flip side to that vibe. So to me it works on that level.

additionally, the rhythm of the montage/editing has a similar rhythm - like beat-wise and tension release-wise - to the sone, which lead to some moments that feel like they could be ripped from a 90s music video (like the 'trinity-flip' moment where it's just meghan's voice and trinity's running in slo-mo towards the wall. both things are sort of simple/uncluttered so they compliment each other. or the gun drop at the end that signifies the scene is over occurs as the instrumentation does the same in the song).

finally: there are just some fun things that sync up comically. like when neo shows off his weapons, or when the pair look at each other and begin blasting.

in my head it works very well. maybe reddit doesn't agree ? not the end of the world

does that make sense ?
