The song begins with a sense of self-aware questioning. The character portrayed by Yuma reflects on the distorted perception someone has of them, implying that they've been cast unjustly as a 'demon' in another's eyes. They continue to pretend everything is fine, although internally they feel fragmented, setting the tone for a journey through darkness and introspection. Verbiage such as 'I attended your funeral today' poetically illustrates a psychological severing, perhaps indicative of a relationship forever changed or ended.

As the narration progresses, Yuma and Asterian delve into the repercussions of excessive empathy and the bitterness of betrayal. Here, the listener is confronted with the irony of overconsumption of one's compassion, which is then converted into a scent of wrongdoing. This metaphorical transformation reveals the inner turmoil of the character, highlighting a lingering sense of injustice and a thirst for vindication in an existence defined by bitterness.

Further in, Yuma calls upon depictions of control and vengeance, playing with the concepts of adoration and disdain with an almost god-like persona. The character invites the conflicting feelings of hate and reverence from their perceived detractor, alluding to the complexity of emotions in relationships fraught with power dynamics. The chorus amplifies this dichotomy, blurring lines between victimhood and empowerment, suggesting a rebellion against their given role.

The closing verses and bridge encapsulate a sense of eternal conflict, with evocative language depicting an intimate dance between past and present, duplicity and innate evil. The recurrent mention of 'infinity' and 'existing out of spite' weaves through the narrative as a litany, reinforcing the cyclic and endless struggle. The final declaration of self in the absence of a true home offers a haunting resolution, emphasizing the narrator's sense of isolation and enduring battle with identity.
