The speaker reflects on moments of disconnection from their own identity, feeling as if they are a stranger to themselves. This experience alters their perception of the world, making the sky and earth appear different, creating a false sense of tranquility. In this altered state, they find a fleeting happiness, a light that seems familiar yet distant. This suggests a longing for a sense of belonging to something that has been lost.

However, this experience is accompanied by the pain of realization and the inevitable return to the self. The speaker acknowledges the difficulty of both staying in this disoriented state and returning to their true self. This duality highlights the struggle between embracing a temporary escape and confronting the anguish of reality, illustrating the complexities of identity and existence.
