The song begins with a request for a moment of silence, symbolizing the need for reflection and the importance of being heard. The protagonist declares that their soul is no longer dying, indicating a newfound strength and the realization that they are better off without the toxic partner.

The recurring theme of preferring to live a long time without the partner, rather than an eternity in unhappiness, underscores the severity of the emotional damage experienced. The song uses powerful metaphors such as a storm and sinking in the sea to describe the relentless and overwhelming nature of the relationship. The contrast between seeking peace and being with someone who is like a tempest further illustrates the incompatibility and the desire for tranquility.
