Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song captures the profound anguish of heartbreaking separation and grief. The protagonist feels completely shattered as the woman he loved drifts away, leaving him to crumble in pain. He describes his inner state as being lifeless, where his heart feels wounded without physical marks and his life quivers fragilely like a flame or leaf in the wind. Despite the agonizing reality, his heart still longs for her, even while resigning himself to a fate of utter insignificance and despair.
