Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This soulful track from 'Dear Comrade' encapsulates the protagonist's profound emotional agony, grief, and longing following a painful separation from his lover. Trapped in a state of inner turmoil—described vividly as melting and freezing simultaneously or living in hot water like an eyelid-less fish—he wanders through long journeys seeking healing and redemption. He clings desperately to her memories like a kite owner holding a string even after the kite's tail is severed. Despite feeling lost, helpless, and isolated like a storm without a center or a month without dates, he strives to tame his inner rage and transform himself into a protective shield. Throughout his physical and psychological journey, his ultimate desire remains a single call or acceptance from his beloved to pull him back from emotional despair.
