"The song was born from personal experience—that feeling of being lost within yourself, feeling so lonely that it seems no one can help you. You don’t understand why you feel this way. There are people around you, you aren’t physically alone, and you have a home, yet this sense of loneliness persists in your heart. It’s about sadness, anxiety, and the search for the feeling of being okay when you are lost," says Rūta Budreckaitė.
By directing this performance, Barbora Skaburskė aimed for the singer's look, movement on stage, to reflect the lyrics, the instrumentation, and the overall atmosphere of the song. The performance is envisioned as an alternative contemporary fairy tale of Snow White. The artist traverses a void (the stage) while battling her darker side, illustrated through sand-particle projections where symbolic objects form and disintegrate. During the performance, the singer returns into her "bed sheet" (a transformation of the skirt), blurring the lines between where the dream begins and reality ends.
