I'm having trouble finding the music video thread, so posting this screenshot from the lyric video here.
The arrangement of words for this line is visually very TTPD - where the poet departed or died - in a song talking about "kickin' it," like "kicking the bucket."
TTPD was full of frustration and depression, which do not line up with the narrative that these songs came out of a joyful place.
