La chanson évoque le sentiment de solitude et de désespoir d'une femme nommée Cassandra, qui se sent incomprise et délaissée par ceux qui l'entourent. Alors que le monde extérieur semble continuer de vibrer, elle se retrouve isolée, incapable de partager ses peines. On ressent aussi un certain regret, car les autres réalisent trop tard sa véritable force et la profondeur de son message. Ses rêves et ses avertissements ont été ignorés, et alors qu’elle se prépare à quitter, il est clair que son destin est déjà scellé. Le contexte souligne la lutte interne entre les espoirs et les réalités douloureuses de la vie. Le départ imminent de Cassandra, symbolisé par son bateau, reflète non seulement un changement, mais aussi les sacrifices et les pertes qu'elle a subis. Ce voyage représente à la fois un adieu et une libération, laissant derrière elle ceux qui n'ont pas su voir la vérité qu'elle portait en elle.
