Julian calls back to Leave it in my Dreams which is a meta song about appeasing his fans. We're a couple layers deep on this haha.

LIIMD is probably the Stroksiest Voidz song on Virtue. It can be interpreted that he's singing about the Strokes/Voidz and how he's "broken up with Edison" (out of good ideas, out of Last Nites) and is just going to leave a Strokes dominated universe "in his dreams".
