Cette chanson évoque la douleur de dire adieu à un ami qui ne parvient pas à trouver sa place dans le monde. Elle décrit des réflexions sur des moments partagés, une lutte interminable entre le bien et le mal, et la quête de compréhension dans un univers chaotique. Les paroles illustrent la manière dont certains peuvent se perdre, confrontés à leurs démons intérieurs, laissant derrière eux des souvenirs empreints de mélancolie. Elle s'inscrit dans un contexte de profonde introspection, où la séparation est vécue comme une réalité amère que l'on doit accepter. L'artiste aborde des thèmes universels tels que l'amitié, la perte et le regret, tout en se confrontant à la fragilité humaine.
