The song is about a girl with an abusive father. She is looking for an escape.

I spent my whole life looking for something. One day I realized that the thing I was looking for, I had the whole time. So, search for the ineffable. Make the spiritual pilgrimage... until you awake.

On your 13th birthday
The shadows hid behind your eyes
And all the other children
Were sinking fast into the vile
You made the choice to lose your fears
But everywhere you turned he was there. So..

Run far away from here
The sun will dry up all your tears
Fly to a better place
And stay there...
Until you awake

Now everyone has gone on home
But you're still trapped inside yourself
It's always like you're all alone...
In a crowed room
And so, you sit and wonder why
You were abandoned by your alibis
But nothing seems to matter now
You'll carry on. Someway. Somehow, just...

Run far away from here
The sun will dry up all your tears
Fly to a better placeAnd stay there...
Until you awake
