The song is about feeling so much stress from your responsibilities that you just come to a point where you just need disconnect for a while. How we all just need a break sometimes and that's okay, momentarily free yourself then return ready and able to handle those things; perhaps even better than before. They'll be able to get along for a little while without you, it's for the best in the long run.
