The protagonist is reflecting on his life and questioning if what he has experienced was real or just a dream. He feels like life is meaningless and wants someone to fill the void. The chorus emphasizes that we come into the world alone and leave alone, and that we should forget about past relationships and focus on getting rid of the emptiness inside. The outro repeats this message and emphasizes the importance of getting rid of the hole inside.
