Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This romantic track captures the overwhelming feeling of falling in love at first sight. The protagonist experiences a sense of weightlessness, feeling as if the sky itself is below his feet while he floats like a cloud. The presence of the maiden causes a billion flowers to bloom in his heart, leaving his mind fascinated and constantly wondering who she is, even as his eyes and heart are captivated by her silent gaze.
