The song talks about how the world can be confusing and overwhelming. The protagonist feels like the truth is hidden and things are happening too fast.

It's like he's missing something important, and it's called "Forest for the trees". The song suggests that maybe we're running out of new ideas, and the protagonist feels anxious and uneasy. It's a sad and reflective song, like a heartbreak song.
