Lyrics meaning

The lyrics describe someone reacting to a breakup with anger, hurt, and a wish for the other person to suffer too. At first, the speaker declares that the relationship is over, but the repeated hope that the ex will be unhappy shows that the feelings have not disappeared. Gradually, the focus shifts toward leaving, finding a way forward, and thinking about tomorrow.

Several images suggest this emotional change. “Writing the future” can mean taking control and imagining a life beyond the relationship, rather than literally writing a plan. The speaker’s search for a path in the street reflects feeling lost and uncertain about what to do next. Broken glasses, vanished hopes, and wounded hearts create an image of a painful night and a relationship damaged beyond repair.

The lyrics hold both revenge and recovery at once. When the speaker says the former partner no longer affects them, this may be genuine progress, or it may be an effort to convince themselves; the earlier anger leaves that uncertain. Likewise, travelling and looking toward tomorrow suggest movement, but do not prove that the hurt is fully gone. The song presents moving on as a process, not a clean or immediate ending.
