Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song expresses the overwhelming wonder of falling in love. The protagonist reflects on how they previously never cared for gentle music, cool breezes, or romantic poetry. However, with the arrival of love, everything feels poetic and surreal, leaving them bewildered yet deeply captivated. The speaker addresses their lover as their poetry, dream, and solitude's melody, passionately pleading for them to appear in real life and shower them with affection.
