This is the most easy to understand of all Dark Tranquillity songs for me. It's most certainly about a relationship where he truly loved someone very much, but she just treated him like garbage. At the very end, though, he changes it up, and instead of saying "this my shattered heart can't bear," he says "this my shattered heart WON'T bear." Like it's time to stand up and defy this kind of emotional exile myself. About a year ago, I went through a similar situation. This song really spoke to me, and I sent the lyrics to a friend of mine. She actually asked if I wrote them myself about the particular situation I was in.
