See, there's the whole picture as to why Lou Reed is so precious. Happiness intermingles with self-loathing and that's a Lou Reed moment. It eventually leads to freedom dependency. Let's say rage bubbling through tenderness.
It must have took a lot of discipline from Lou to put all of this into each and every song, a determination to not soften into earnestness(Ed Sheeran, sighs!) or excuse the hard stuff in the name of romance (Ed Sheeran types again, sighs)
All the art Lou has left me will continue to help me and learn to do that too, some day.
There is always beauty in ugliness.
