The song is about dealing with heartbreak and pain, and trying to find a way to cope with it. The lyrics express a feeling of being lost and struggling to find a way forward, but also finding strength in the support of fans and the drive to keep creating music. The chorus repeats a desire to break free from the pain and find "better things," but also acknowledges that sometimes the only way to cope is to numb the pain temporarily through alcohol or other means. The overall message is one of hope and determination to push through difficult times and find a way to heal.
