Here, no one, no one
Looks at me
Cold eyes, those gazes
Bring tears
The more beautiful, the more the thorns pierce and sting
Even knowing I’ll break, I stand at the crossroad again

The more beautiful, the more the thorns pierce and sting
Even knowing I’ll break, I stand at the crossroad again

Even if it’s a deserted island, it’s not uninhabited, alive
Why always me
What did I do wrong
Why am I standing in the rain

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics portray someone trapped within a cold and suffocating world, longing to escape isolation and return to a place remembered as warm, safe, and full of light. Though wounded by cruel gazes and repeated abandonment, the narrator still holds onto faith, recognizing that even an isolated island is not entirely without life. Their plea to be led home expresses aching loneliness, fragile hope, and the deeply human need for comfort, belonging, and another hand to hold.
