Lyrics edit

In discussing the song, Stewart described the lyrics as "being about unconditional love as a revolutionary force – where idealism and energy mix poetic, existential, and political yearnings with the romantic idea of passing through nihilism and emerging on the other side with something positive, something beyond."[5]
