Feeling held back and restrained is one of the main universal feelings felt in humans. There is always something hindering people from achieving their dreams, and this song expresses this feeling. It makes sure that the listeners know that they are not alone in this isolated place.

The use of instruments in this song is what makes it so strong. The overlapping components, blended with the vocal tracks creates an ethereal mix which reflects the vulnerability of both the listener and protagonist's feelings. The instrumental bridge, which is just a repetitive guitar riff, allows for a moment of deep self-reflection. It forces the audience to realize the reality of their situation, and this riff lets the reality sink in.

The extended metaphor created by Wave to Earth compares feelings to physical surroundings. The frigid, lonely place that the protagonist is in is compared to their feelings. In reality, sometimes humans are not physically isolated but mentally. This metaphor explores both senses of isolation and feeling lost. The lyrical imagery conveying the metaphor creates both a mental and emotional picture of the protagonist being lost. It is a state of vulnerability.

This song reflects the feeling of longing for a home—for being stuck in unfamilairity. However, it shows how much a person can lose potential when they are stubborn. Human nature has always been to go back to what feels right for them (their comfort zone.) But, to grow humans need to face new experiences. They need to face thriving in a new situation to learn about themselves. The song reflects the feelings of vulnerability, and it shows the listeners that they are not alone. They show that it is normal to feel this way. But, in order to reach their fullest potential it is sometimes beneficial to not be desperate—to face the unknown.
