There’s also intense frustration and dislike toward someone in their life, and even small annoyances, like vegetables, are highlighted, showing a mix of irritation and helplessness.

[Verse 2]
Life feels like it’s slowly decaying, moving forward without excitement or hope. The singer leans on painful, unsettling dreams as if they’re the only support left. Crossing a broken bridge suggests navigating unstable or risky situations, showing vulnerability and struggle against circumstances that feel out of control.

[Verse 3]
Life feels dull and unfulfilling, leaving the singer bored and unhappy. They desperately want to escape quickly, seeking an emergency exit from their current situation, showing urgency and emotional tension.

[Chorus]
The desire to escape is stronger than ever, but there’s no clear way out. They feel pressured, overwhelmed, and forced to pretend everything is fine while still facing countless obligations. The conflict between wanting freedom and being stuck adds tension and hopelessness.

[Post-Chorus]
The singer feels completely finished and longs for rest, but even sleep doesn’t bring peace. They’re still surrounded by people and things they dislike, emphasizing ongoing frustration and a lack of relief.
