Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

A friend of mine, when listened to the instrumental version, once said that the song might feels like when you walk through a street at night, illuminated by the street lights.
And damn, it fits well with the first verses: "..down the corner of my street, every night there the headlights are glowing.." (Edited)
Probably the highlight for me, love an uplifting instrumental. (Edited)
As the previous comment said, walk alone at night and listen.
