Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

This melancholy track delves into identity crisis, existential confusion, and emotional solitude. The narrator describes himself as fragile and transient—like words written on water—wandering aimlessly without a clear destination or sense of self. Walking along a thorny road with only his shadow, he feels entirely alone in his suffering, with no one in the world to understand his pain. The lyrics extend this feeling of impermanence by comparing human life to clouds in the sky, easily scattered and erased by the winds of time. Embracing quiet solitude, the narrator continuously questions who he is, capturing a poignant search for meaning amidst loneliness.
