Cette chanson évoque un besoin urgent de trouver un refuge dans un monde rempli de chaos et de violence. Le protagoniste cherche un endroit où il peut se sentir en sécurité, loin des menaces et de la haine qui l’entourent. Les paroles parlent d’une réalité sombre, où la douleur et la peur semblent omniprésentes, tout en mettant en lumière une lutte interne entre ressentiment et désir de paix. Le contexte de la chanson, sorti en 1978, est marqué par une époque de bouleversements sociaux et politiques, même si son message reste intemporel. La mention de la violence envers autrui rappelle une lutte plus vaste pour la compréhension et la réconciliation, un thème toujours d'actualité dans le monde d'aujourd'hui.
