La chanson évoque un cheminement à travers la vie, entre recherche de soi et nostalgie. L'artiste parle de la quête d'un foyer et d'un sens, tout en se remémorant des figures du passé, comme son père qui était un homme de route, un peu perdu lui aussi. L’idée de voyage est omniprésente et symbolise des désirs inassouvis, un besoin de liberté, mais aussi un lien avec ceux qui nous sont chers. On comprend que, malgré les aléas du voyage, il y a un besoin essentiel de se sentir ancré quelque part, de revenir à ses racines. La contemplation d'un "étoile voyageuse" représente une guide spirituelle, nous rappelant l'importance de garder espoir et de chercher la lumière dans les moments d'incertitude. Cette chanson résonne avec tous ceux qui ont vécu l'errance et le désir de trouver leur place dans le monde.
