Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song expresses the unspoken, overwhelming feelings of a lover who has not yet confessed his feelings. He compares his unexpressed love to a glass flower without color and silence where words cannot exist. He describes the euphoric, child-like vulnerability that love brings into his life, making him feel as though he is floating, flying like a bird, and melting like wax. Despite the secrecy of his love, he finds solace in unspoken eye contact until the moment they can truly be together.
