| It's about how he remembers who he used to be, how much he has changed, how the life he loved now just is emptyness. How it seems wrong to go back, but also to go living like he does now, he just watches himself almost break. He realizes there is another way, how he can do what he wants and not being alone. Life never made him wonder if it was wrong to think how empty everything seemed, how empty the answers were. It seemed like his life was as empty as the place he left his old life, so he starts a new one, and other people can live like he did, but not he, not anymore | |
