La chanson évoque la détresse causée par la perte de tout ce qui était précieux. Le narrateur parle de tout ce qu'il a dû vendre ou échanger pour survivre, notamment des objets du quotidien et des biens qui lui tenaient à cœur. Malgré cette pauvreté, il semble trouver un certain réconfort dans l'idée d'une promesse d'un meilleur au-delà, mentionnant un secret qui concerne son passage vers le paradis. Ce morceau s'inscrit dans un contexte de lutte et de résilience, illustrant les difficultés rencontrées dans la vie. Elle reflète une réalité où l'on doit parfois sacrifier ce qui compte pour espérer un avenir meilleur, tout en conservant une foi et une légèreté d'esprit qui résonnent profondément.
