Probably pretty obvious what this scene was detailing In summary: Be confident, do your thing, and don’t be a dick But you can be a generational talent and also be nice to people. His instincts were right, he’s a generational talent. Some of it will be funny, some of it won’t, but the confidence that turned into narcissism isn’t a bad thing, it just went to far. But his enlightened self gave him the clarity he needed, fuck what anyone else says, fuck thinking through every single thing five thousand times, go off and make the music that you know you can make. Seems like he went through a phase where he felt he needed to compete with “real” rappers, and felt he wasn’t a “real” rapper because he was funny and made jokes. On the music side, he’s not lonely island, he’s not weird Al, but he’s a comedic musician and he shouldn’t run from it and needs to embrace it. He fully had the capacity to do all this while having a partner, but he thought it was external stuff in his way. He thought he needed full focus on “chasing his dream” or else it wouldn’t work, but what I think he realized was that he was actually just being self centered. And no one should stand in the way of him, he’s way too important for that. He told Aly “I’m supposed to feel bad for having ambition just because you don’t have any?” When in reality she was screaming at him very clearly, “that has nothing to do with it, you’re just a dick” but to him that was someone standing in his way. For some reason Dave thought that it was incompatible to both have a partner and be the best version of who he could be as a musician, writer, entertainer, whatever his end games ends up being. My arm chair psychology on this is that Dave realized that it is possible for him to not be an arrogant jerk that makes only dick jokes and funny songs and can instead be the confident musician that has range and uses his intelligence and comedic talent to deliver his own style.
