The lyrics describe a painful break in a family relationship. The speaker remembers someone who once asked how he was and seemed close, but now suspects that person cared mainly about money. He feels betrayed, loses his pride, and leaves home; the repeated question “how is it going?” sounds different now, because both people may already know the answer. The mood moves between anger, hurt, and longing for how things used to be.

Several images make the hurt vivid. Betrayal is compared to “a bullet in the chest,” suggesting a sudden, deeply felt wound. Leaving home “in one day” conveys how quickly conflict can make a familiar place feel impossible to stay in. The contrast between earlier late-night conversations and the present-day question highlights emotional distance. The references to champagne during Ramadan and a television show create brief snapshots of everyday life, though the lyrics do not explain their full significance.

The accusation about money is not entirely settled: the speaker repeatedly asks whether money was the other person’s real motive, but later insists that he himself did not want money. This may express genuine doubt as much as certainty. The final reference to “dad” points toward a father-child separation, while the affectionate words recalled from the past suggest tenderness remains beneath the anger. The song therefore holds both resentment and a wish to return to what once felt real.
