Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This haunting track captures the internal struggle and profound longing of a protagonist battling trauma and emotional turmoil. He reaches out to his beloved, confessing that while external battles might conclude, the emotional war within his heart rages on endlessly without her. Despite the chaos surrounding him, his beloved remains his redeeming angel who transforms harsh reality into hope.
