Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song explores the bittersweet feelings of love, longing, and emotional surrender. The narrator depicts love as an all-encompassing force present in nature, from breeze and rain to dewdrops on branches. While the beloved appears emotionally distant or unyielding like a stone, their gaze alone holds immense power over the narrator's heart, acting as both a delight and a sweet torture.
