Song interpretation

The song captures a feeling of absolute freedom, hope, and emotional liberation.

Re-imagining oneself as a child resting safely in a mother's lap, the lyrics express a deep sense of peace where all anxieties dissolve. Even when life feels like a chaotic battlefield where dreams temporarily go silent, the singer assures that time eventually turns into a companion, bringing light, colorful rainbows, and boundless joy as life continues forward.
