This song definitely has a freethinking vibe; the rejecting of other's proclaimed "promised lands."
"One life was great, but another... no I don't want to live on the edge."
He's not willing to take a leap of faith, to live on the edge. He's built his life, or what others might call a wall of separation, but he feels safe and honest there, "nested and calm, without mask."
An interesting thing to note is the line, "I was chasing your shadow, not knowing I'd become your slave." If you've listened to Mariuz Duda's other work, namely with Lunatic Soul, you already know that it was very spiritually-heavy, with references to angels and afterlife, bright lights and dark places, and flying through consciousness. It's very different than what I hear in this song... I have to wonder if he's changed his mind, in these past few years.
I get the feeling that Mariuz is an agnostic or an atheist now, comfortable with his unknowing, and forever foreign to the notion of an "otherland, promisedland, hastenland, neverland, heaven, hell, etc..."

Just my two cents.
