Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song expresses the intense heartache, affection, and longing of a lover for his beloved. He feels an overwhelming sense of helplessness and distress when away from her, describing his emotional state metaphorically as dying and coming back to life every single day. Adoringly calling her his beauty, nectar, dream, and statue, he pleads with her never to leave or distance herself from him. He emphasizes that he seeks no worldly desires other than her comfort and presence, as living merely in her memories causes immense agony. Ultimately, he yearns to lean on her shoulder and unite his soul with hers forever.
