Stephen Wilkinson (Bibio) commented on the official YouTube video for the song that
Lyrically, I feel that the song has two aspects to it: The idea of being in the wake of a loss, and with hope, continuing the life of someone who has passed, through allowing oneself to be inspired by what they did...
[Verse 1]
Safe in the door
That you hope hasn't broken
Bright in the steam
That you left on the window
[Verse 2]
Sleep on the wing
Without the lights of the city
Lamb in the fields
With the folds and the clover
[Instrumental]
