Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This soulful track expresses the profound grief and loneliness of a lover after a painful separation. The protagonist wanders aimlessly, questioning where to go now that his loved one is no longer by his side. Watching his former love with her new companion brings him immense heartbreak, causing even nature—the sky and flowers—to mourn with him.
