Life's incredible ability to transform from darkness to light takes center stage in this reflective indie rock narrative. The songwriter chronicles her journey from a troubled past marked by alcohol dependency, depression, and public criticism to a healthier, more stable present. She contrasts her former self, who relied on "water and whiskey" and faced emotional struggles, with her current contentment found in simple pleasures like walking a dog and sharing morning coffee with a loved one. The repeated chorus emphasizing how "everything has changed" celebrates this positive transformation while acknowledging a touch of disbelief about her improved circumstances. There's also a sense of cautious optimism as she hopes these positive changes will last "longer than before," suggesting previous attempts at transformation that didn't stick. It's ultimately a hopeful meditation on personal growth and the joy of finding peace after turbulent times.
