A soothing beginning leads you to think it's going to be a nice calming instrumental piece, but the beginning leads to the harsh parts. But somehow the beginning reflects what is to come - I would describe the following parts melodic and beautiful. In fact I like what the song does, at least in my case. It has rough edges but the melody is at parts softer. Based on that, I wouldn't say that the song is just despair.
Structurally there's some variation, but the slower parts don't really get to me. It didn't give me the chills. On the whole, a nice piece filled with melody. 7/10
