This song appears to be about a state of despair, longing, and regret. The intense, heavy, ominous guitar work, and buildup to the plaintive refrain ("Maybe the life waits over the hill/Over the hill while I wait") indicate a sense of utter disillusionment and detachment prevalent in other songs Idlewild has done (for example, the aptly-named "Disconnected.")
