La chanson évoque les difficultés rencontrées par une personne intègre dans un monde souvent impitoyable. Malgré son sérieux et sa volonté de bien faire, cet homme se sent utilisé et frustré, ses valeurs semblent le desservir. Sa détresse affecte ceux qu'il aime, et il se retrouve à transformer son stress en colère dirigée vers ses proches. La lutte pour maintenir sa dignité et son intégrité devient une épreuve quotidienne. On découvre également l'histoire d'une jeune femme qui, bien que pleine de fierté et d'espoir, fait face aux cruautés du monde, se liant à un homme qui ne mérite pas son affection. Avec le temps, elle se protège de la douleur en élevant des murs autour de son cœur. Les tensions de la vie quotidienne, symbolisées par des interactions simples et des soucis financiers, ajoutent à ce tableau déjà sombre. C'est un reflet des défis que beaucoup doivent relever dans leur quête de vérité et d'amour au milieu des temps difficiles.
