This song is about a certain kind of survivor’s guilt. The kind that comes from escaping a cycle that many of the people you care about are still living. It’s a strange feeling. You’re grateful for how far you’ve come, proud of what you’ve built, and excited about where you’re headed. But at the same time, there’s this weight, because you want the people around you to experience the same freedom, stability, and peace you’ve found. You wish you could do more. You wish you could just change things for everyone. Not because their battles are yours to fight, but because you want to see them win too. In the grand scheme of things, it seems small compared to the size of the universe and everything else happening in the world, but the feeling isn’t any less real.
