There are a lot of discussion about the real message of this song. The most agreed version is that it's about the different emotions he and his fans went through during that 10 months historic bully attack. The process that he and his fans were beaten up by emotions such as helplessness, sorrow, solitude , despair but healed by hope over and over. Than despair stubbed hope, locked hope up and escape. But hope succeeded to grow the seed of hope and was trying to break through again at the end.
