Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This poignant song expresses the agony of heartbreak and the overwhelming grief of separation. The protagonist grieves the lost relationship, questioning whether their life had a purpose if love was meant to end in suffering. The familiar road they once strolled together now feels haunting, where ordinary trees resemble crosses of torture and every step brings emotional weeping. Ultimately, the song compares love to a delicate flower plant whose blossoms drop even before they fully bloom, capturing the essence of unfulfilled and sorrowful romance.
