Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

The song is a passionate expression of romantic obsession and intoxication. The protagonist describes how his beloved's gaze, touch, and presence have completely transformed his life, pulling his soul and leaving him mesmerized. He compares his state to a kite faltering in the wind, entirely dependent on her glances and words for comfort. Throughout the track, the feeling of falling deeply into love is presented as a dreamlike state where reality shifts, and nothing else matters besides being united with his love.
