The song expresses feelings of entrapment and disillusionment with daily life. The narrator wakes up to the sound of a morning alarm but feels lost and unfulfilled, as the bright lights of the city fail to illuminate his true self.
He describes a monotonous routine that feels like a prison, with dreams fading away and a sense of powerlessness to change his situation.
In the chorus, the narrator emphasises his struggle to escape this maze of fear and routine, realising that life is not what he had hoped for.
The bridge reflects on the bustling city outside, questioning whether others share the same buried hopes.
The song concludes with a sense of ongoing struggle, as the narrator pushes through the endless cycle of life, feeling trapped in a perpetual cage.
