Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply emotional lament centered around family, responsibility, and helpless grief. The protagonist uses nature metaphors—such as a plant that bore flowers going missing—to express heartbreak over fractured relationships and children caught in personal conflict. He feels guilty despite having sowed the seeds of love, finding himself stranded under a heavy emotional burden with no one to lean on.
