Summary

This quote expresses the intense despair and self-hatred of a person who desperately wishes to escape their own existence. They long for death or complete erasure, but find themselves trapped in a physical body that they despise and feel alienated from. The phrase "solid surface of things refused to dissolve" implies the inability to escape reality or the inescapable nature of their struggles. Despite their intense desire to cease living, their body persists, reminding them of their perceived flaws and forcing them to continue existing against their will.
