Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a deeply emotional, semi-classical expression of reverence, spiritual awakening, and gratitude toward a musical master or divine figure referred to as the 'God of Music.' The protagonist feels overwhelmed and ecstatic upon being summoned by her guru, describing physical and emotional sensations like her static hands swaying, her heart taking flight like the wind, and unseen visions appearing before her eyes. The lyrics strongly emphasize moral values, declaring that righteousness always prevails and that failing to express gratitude makes one unfilial or unworthy. Overwhelmed by awe, she expresses a desire to build a statue for her mentor and lay her head at his feet in ultimate surrender, agreeing wholeheartedly to dedicate herself to singing.
