Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

This song is a passionate romantic confession wherein the protagonist expresses an overwhelming love for their partner. Admitting past mistakes and expressing remorse for hurting them, the protagonist pleads for another chance to be together. The lyrics describe the restlessness of love—sleepless nights past 10 PM, endless thoughts, and the desire to stay constantly connected both emotionally and physically.
