This song is seemingly about a person that's overwhelmed by the pressures and expectations of society, and who feels trapped by the important decisions that they are forced to make by the institutions in their life, social norms and/or authority figures. The protagonist decides to take the easy way out in escaping from reality, wanting to avoid facing the challenges and responsibilities of the real world; A decision that leaves him feeling unstable and causes him to lose himself. Ultimately, the song portrays a struggle most people have in life, that being a struggle to find a sense of identity and purpose in a world that feels overwhelming and suffocating. Trying to make sense of a world ever-changing and full of chaos. One which has high expectations for you, and expects you to give them an answer without even enough time to process the major question that will have a massive impact on your life.
