Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This track expresses the raw anguish and frustration of a heart-broken lover dealing with love failure. Describing his pain as a consequence of sins from a past life, he drowns his sorrow in alcohol while cautioning others to run away from love and protect their hearts from similar agony.
