Exploring themes of dependency, heartbreak, and self-worth, this composition delves into the complexities of a relationship where one partner serves as a lifeline for the other. The narrator portrays themselves as essential to their partner's well-being, likening their support to "medicine" and "oxygen." However, the narrative takes a turn as the narrator decides to sever this vital connection due to feelings of being unappreciated and abandoned. The imagery of climbing a steep hill symbolizes the struggle and effort invested in the relationship. The repeated motif of parking in the middle of an empty street further emphasizes isolation and introspection. Ultimately, the song reflects on the painful realization that despite being indispensable at one point, love can wither when mutual respect and appreciation are absent.
