The song begins with a description of a morning routine, highlighting a feeling of being set in motion and controlled by external forces. The lyrics express a sense of deception and a questioning of one's true self beneath a uniform existence, where everything is determined and fame feels forced.

The narrative shifts to a feeling of nausea and self-pity in the afternoon. The lyrics convey a struggle with self-doubt and an inability to be a true person. Visions of violence and a sense of being overwhelmed suggest a deteriorating state, with messages being unreadable and a plea for help.

The song delves into philosophical questions of identity, posing dichotomies like friend or foe, sinner or saint, martyr or cause. The lyrics convey a struggle to define oneself, feeling like a canvas or a doll, and questioning if one is even real. The speaker asks to be told what they are, acknowledging the futility of trying to find personal meaning.

The final section emphasizes a profound sense of isolation and an inability to receive or understand messages. The repeated lines about not getting messages and everything being spoken for highlight a feeling of loneliness and a lack of agency, concluding the reflection on a note of detachment and control by others.
