Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

This song is a soul-stirring romantic track where the protagonist reflects on the overwhelming feeling of falling deeply in love. Love is depicted as a sweet trick of destiny that blurs the lines between reality and dream. Time loses its usual pace—a century feels like a brief day—and the lover's gaze transforms a once-simple soul into an expressive poet.
