It's about wanting to move forward, but being trapped by things from your past. Those things keep coming back, leaving you a mess because you don't know how to deal with them resurfacing. Just when you have started to heal and look towards the future, past things show up to ruin your progress. You're scared of whatever it is from your past and feel like you have no future because you can't escape it/move forward. Your past makes you think that whatever future you had planned is unattainable, just an illusion ("it tells us what's real").
