The song expresses feelings of losing oneself over many years spent dwelling on past mistakes and lost opportunities. The singer feels like a stranger in their own skin and struggles to forget someone from their past, trying many times to let them go. They ask when this period will end and when they will regain control of their life, returning to a better place. Time seems to speed by as moments pass them by, and dreams and fantasies fade away, leaving them wondering how things came to this point.
