In this complex world, your weary eyes
When I see them, my heart breaks
In endless thoughts, your troubled expressions
When I see them, my breath quickens

The anxiety that comes late
Feels like a thorn stuck in my head
Handling it alone seems overwhelming now
I hide in the wall of blankets, swirling

The lyrics imagine escape from a loud, exhausting world into a private refuge where pain no longer needs explanation. The speaker sees someone worn down by fear, anxiety, and pressure, then offers a hand instead of questions, promising a quiet castle beyond judgment and noise. Through moonlight, hidden rooms, stars, cages, walls, and flight, the song turns protection into gentle rescue and shared freedom.
