I intend to get out of here. It can't last forever. Others have thought such things, in bad times before this, and they were always right, they did get out one way or another, and it didn't last forever. Although for them it may have lasted all the forever they had.
The quote reflects a deep yearning for hope and freedom, suggesting that the speaker believes their current difficult situation will not endure indefinitely. It invokes the idea that others have faced similar despair in the past yet eventually found a way to escape their circumstances. This points to a universal struggle against oppressive conditions and the resilience of the human spirit.
At the same time, the mention of others who have escaped emphasizes the gravity of their experiences; while they found release, it may have come too late for them. This complexity highlights the bittersweet nature of hope and the consequences of enduring prolonged hardship, as the desire for liberation is intertwined with the possibility of loss and the inevitability of time.
