The song begins with a piano solo, which leads into a section featuring Utada's vocals and atmospheric background synths.

Several images in the verses are created, such as slowly sinking to the bottom of a lake, chasing two rabbits but catching only one, and a purple traffic light stopping her thoughts.

The song later tells people to scream, find the source of pain and to forget theories; and that it "is good if we all carry deep darkness."

The song finishes with several aphoristic statements, such as "If you climb a mountain, you must go down," "no matter what kind of deep love you have, it is imperfect."
