The artist offers a song that grabs the guts, we are quickly seduced by the way of singing, of playing music.
The song explores emotional turmoil and the weight of regret after a breakup. The narrator expresses his inner pain, often masked by misleading appearances of well-being, and longs to be understood. Yes, we always try to put on a good face, smile ever brighter when we meet a friend of that ex again or simply when we see her again by chance. We also look back on a past relationship where, despite mutual love, there remains this inability to overcome the hurts and manage the pride which led to the separation.
Love is treated in a vulnerable and introspective way, showing that it is not enough to love : you also have to know how to love. Awkwardness and difficulty communicating widen the gap between two people who love each other but cannot flourish together. The idea of redemption through understanding others transcends pain, offering hope for inner peace.
