Cette chanson évoque le sentiment de désir et d'incertitude dans une relation, où la protagoniste se questionne sur ses émotions et les attentes de l'autre. Elle se remémore un temps où elle voulait quelqu'un pour elle, mais le passage du temps a changé les dynamiques. C'est une exploration des regrets et des fantasmes, alors que des souvenirs flous s'entremêlent aux réalités d'une vie quotidienne. Dans un contexte social, on peut ressentir la pression des normes et des jugements, la protagoniste étant consciente que son histoire est la "parole de la ville", un sujet de discussion pour les autres. La lutte entre le désir et la conformité aux attentes extérieures est au cœur de sa réflexion, soulignant ainsi la vulnérabilité humaine face aux sentiments contrastés et aux changements d'identité.
