The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who have grown distant, struggling to understand each other and grappling with the pain of separation. The repeated question, "Why?" underscores the bewilderment and frustration felt by the narrator as they try to make sense of the situation. The song captures the essence of heartbreak, with lines like "Girl I feel like I'm living in a nightmare" and "Can we turn it back?" highlighting the longing for the past and the difficulty of moving on.
The collaboration with Hoody adds a layer of depth to the song, as her soothing vocals contrast with the raw emotion expressed by VVON. The lyrics suggest a sense of inevitability, with phrases like "남이 될 것 같아 우린 다음엔 Too cruel" (It feels like we'll become strangers, it's too cruel) and "이미 늦어버린 걸까" (Is it already too late?) reflecting the hopelessness that often accompanies the end of a relationship. The song also touches on the theme of regret, as the narrator wishes they could go back to a time when things were better, but acknowledges that it may be too late to fix things.
