All her memories of the night before are starting to come back to her.

She realizes the words and actions are not something that can be taken back. All the speaker can do is clean up the messes that has been made, think about the words that were spoken and how they led to the end of her

The chorus goes as following, “Through the wind and the rain/She stands hard as a stone/In a world that she can't rise above/But her dreams give her wings/And she flies to a place where she's loved/Concrete angel”.
