La chanson évoque une mystérieuse disparition, celle d'une femme qui s'en va sans un mot, emportée par un homme énigmatique portant un long manteau noir. Le texte décrit un paysage chargé d'émotions, où la nature et les événements semblent se liguer pour créer une atmosphère pesante. On perçoit aussi des références spirituelles, avec des allusions à la conscience humaine et à ses tourments. Ce cheminement met en lumière la lutte entre la vérité intérieure et les choix que l'on peut faire, souvent marqués par le mystère et l’incertitude.
