Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This melancholic track written and performed by Mugen Rao expresses the intense anguish of a lover yearning for his beloved after separation. He reflects on how life feels dark and directionless without her presence, as random gossip tries to erase his memory from her heart. Despite the loneliness and pain, he pledges to carry her image and love within his heart forever, comparing his tears and sorrow to a swelling river that flows into a vast ocean.
