In the mirror of my memoryless self, there is only a transparent reflection
My voice blooms white, trapped inside a maze
Even the distant sound of the wind brushes past like a gentle breeze
Once again, beyond the window, toward the place where you are
I quietly listen
How are you there?
How are you there?

How are you there?
How are you there?
Where are you being reflected now?
Let me hold you again, as if for the first time
You, who unsettled me countless times
Stay with me
Inside that dream where I could ask for nothing more

Even when I try to remember again
Even when I try so hard to love
Even when I try endlessly to connect
All those countless places of light
In the end, my memory never gets any better
Even if the forest of memory abandons me
If there is just one memory that never disappears

In the mirror reflecting my memories
Will I be able to meet you?
Would I recognize you?
Would I hesitate?

Even if everything is stained black
I’ll hold on so you won’t disappear
I hope I can reach the place where you are
Will you help me smile again?

Even if the forest of memory abandons me
If there is just one memory that never disappears

The moment our eyes meet again while walking
You look at me as if you had been waiting
And there is something so familiar about it

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The lyrics explore the fear of losing one’s memories while desperately holding onto the trace of someone precious. Mirrors, mazes, fading light, and a forest of memory reflect a mind struggling to recover what has been lost, yet one familiar presence continues to survive beneath the confusion. The narrator wonders whether they would still recognize that person if they met again, promising to reach for them even if every other memory disappears. What remains is an indelible bond strong enough to endure uncertainty, darkness, and forgetting, becoming the one lasting memory that can guide them back.
