Cette chanson évoque l'injustice et la répression, particulièrement en lien avec des événements tragiques comme ceux de la place Tiananmen. Le protagoniste se retrouve accusé à tort, alors qu'il n'a commis aucun délit, simplement pour avoir exprimé son désaccord face à la violence subie par son peuple. On ressent son désespoir et son incompréhension, enfermé dans une cellule où il ne voit même pas le ciel, symbole de son isolement et de sa détresse. Le contexte est celui d'une lutte pour la vérité et la liberté d'expression dans un régime oppressif. Cette œuvre apparaît comme une dénonciation puissante des abus de pouvoir et de la manière dont on peut être persécuté pour avoir défendu ses idées. C'est un cri de colère contre une réalité toujours pertinente.
