3:44

in the end

3:47

to really understand it better

4:19

basically means

4:20

happily or peacefully it's kind of like

4:31

probably the most common collocation

4:33

with blissfully is

4:34

unaware so to be blissfully

4:37

unaware of something so that means you

4:40

have no idea that

4:41

something has happened or it is going to

4:43

happen

4:44

4:48

were blissfully

4:49

unaware that the world was about to

4:52

change
