Gently brushing your sleeping hair
I breathe softly, it was all a dream

eo-neu-sae hol-lo nam-a-seo neo-reul bu-reu-ne
My earnest wishes scatter silently
Suddenly left alone, I call out to you

I know the end comes suddenly one day
No matter how I brace myself, I can’t get used to it
The disappearing feelings, the fading feelings
I throw them away, living as if I’m numb
teong bin se-sang-i nal tta-ra-wa goe-ro-wo-jyeo-do

Even if the empty world follows me and it hurts
I can’t fill your empty space

I know the end comes suddenly one day
No matter how I brace myself, I can’t get used to it
The disappearing feelings, the fading feelings
Even after throwing them away, I just live on
a-ra geu-jeo sa-ra-ga-neun gil-i nae-ge swi-ul li eobs-dan geol
a-mu-ri mam-eul da-ja-ba bo-a-do da-si tto a-ryeo-o-neun geol

seu-chyeo ga-neun ba-ram-e-do be-il deut da-si sa-ra-ga
I know just living on won’t be easy for me
No matter how I brace myself, it aches again
The days I loved, even now as I love
I live on, as if cut by the passing wind

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The lyrics portray the hollow aftermath of losing someone whose presence once made the world feel whole. A tender memory of brushing back their hair dissolves into the realization that it was only a dream, leaving wishes scattered and the narrator alone. Although she knows every ending eventually arrives, no amount of resolve can make absence familiar or erase the space that person left behind. She continues living by discarding and dulling painful emotions, yet love remains beneath everything, returning sharply even with the passing wind. Grief becomes an enduring empty presence, while survival means carrying lingering love through a life that still aches.
