Yeah, I should probably check the full lyrics of both opening and ending.

Yes you were correct that when a world line moves, Okabe and everyone else remain in the "present" as the world changes around them. Also you have started to notice that the "Hououin Kyouma" persona is more a coping mechanism than anything when Okabe encounters a situation that he does not know how to handle or is uncomfortable with.
Also I was right there with you about feeling increasingly worried with how much they are changing the past. I love how the ending song plays into that idea of the "butterfly effect":
Spread your wings, O butterfly,
Butterfly of miracles, I dedicate it all to you
Butterfly of tears, butterfly of radiance
Everything is now being rewritten
P.S. Glad you got to try the choice drink of intellectuals :)

That's true, good point but I thought that Ruka was girl when we first got introduced to her as well until Okabe pointed out it's a boy 😅
