The use of the word 'lullaby' in the song is metaphorical, representing a soothing and comforting message meant to calm the troubled individual. The narrator promises that despite the darkness, there is light and a reason to keep fighting. The repeated entreaty to 'give it one more try' with a lullaby and the assurance that the listener is not alone serve as a powerful reminder that everyone faces hardship, but there is solidarity in shared experiences. The song's bridge acknowledges that everyone has felt forgotten or abandoned at some point, reinforcing the theme of universal struggle and the importance of holding on.
