A confessional song about somebody who has some kind of deep pain and trauma, probably from his childhood, unhealed and buried in his psyche somewhere. He knows it's there and he knows it makes him emotionally cold and unable to connect, haunting him. He carries it with him through life, like a heavy burden that cripples him on an inner level. He has to keep things at a certain distance, so that the pain doesn't get to be so much that he can't take it anymore.
