The song explores the yearning for protection from external threats and inner conflicts, offering a message of hope for a better future.

lyrics

I thought I had the keys that they talk about
I thought they had my sins to disappear
I thought that you would care for me, care for me
Care
we will resist the neighbouring wind
will they judge the pouring blood (x2)

Infinite amount of currency
when it comes to giving
I don't count
Infinite amount of silver armour
I clear out space in that thud
I thought I had the keys that they talk about
I thought they had my sins to disappear
I thought that you would care for me, care for me,
Care.
I'm gushing because I can't have it
the movement is often inhabited
time has swept away what could have been said
and the blood is the only thing that will keep on flowing
I will never be the same,
It keeps on burning
I thought I had the keys that they talk about
I thought they had my sins to disappear
I thought that you would care for me, care for me,
Care.
You don’t even
You don’t even
You don’t even talk much
You still under my guard
I won’t beg you
You don’t really talk much
You still under my guard
I won’t beg you
