Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

This romantic song captures the euphoria, restlessness, and emotional friction experienced by two lovers sharing a domestic space. The lyrics describe love as a transcendent force that makes one feel as if they are floating beyond the skies like clouds or being swept away by a giant wave. Despite living under the same roof and sharing physical proximity, ego and unexpressed feelings create a sweet, painful distance between them.
