"The Creepiness of 11 minutes"

I have a routine that I follow when I go to work. I set up my Waze to maximize my drive and I put on a curated playlist to listen to. I have a playlist that consists of 5 songs and one of those songs happen to be 11 minutes by Yungblood and Halsey as the last one in queue.
Nothing really out of the ordinary when I first tried this playlist. I like the songs , I was humming to them , thinking of what I would write , what emails I would be answering and so on. In that drive from Valenzuela to QC I will pass by the intersection of Congressional and Mindanao Avenue. While waiting for the light to turn green the last song 11 minutes came on and I was amused to see that as Halsey sang the chorus "I'm 11 minutes away" my Waze also displayed that I was also 11 minutes away from my destination. Since the light was still red I managed to get a screen shot of this. I believed it was cool but had no further thought on the matter. I arrived at the clinic with no incident.
Since I rotate playlists it was awhile since I went back to that 11 minutes one until I did the following week and I remembered and thought that it would it be cool if I stopped at the same corner and this song would come on again? True enough it did. I was also 11 minutes away from my destination according to Waze.
Nothing concerning right? Until I played the same playlist , stopping at the same intersection 3 more times with the same thing happening. After that I stopped playing the playlist all together. The reason? In the Music video for the song Halsey was singing 11 minutes away and not being reached anymore because well , she was in a horrific car crash that killed her or at least in the MV. Well that is enough creepiness for me. On to the other playlists without car crashes in their MV's.
