La chanson évoque un désir de fuite face à la mélancolie et à des souvenirs passés. L’artiste exprime une nostalgie pour des moments plus joyeux, souhaitant pouvoir s’évader sur une rivière, loin des soucis et des regrets qui l’accablent. Il évoque des images de Noël et de bonheur, mais contraste cela avec sa réalité où il se sent triste et insatisfait. Le contexte semble être une période de fêtes où la joie est palpable autour de lui, tandis qu’il lutte avec ses émotions et ses pertes. Il parle de la déception amoureuse et de la culpabilité, souhaitant retrouver la légèreté de l’enfance et la liberté d'un cœur enjoué.
