Try to cover the sky with your palm
See if it covers, oh no no no
Say you’re fine when you’re lonely
See if it helps, oh no no no
My eyes, my lips, my heart are speaking
But I don’t know if I’m sad, oh not long
See if it covers, oh no no no
Say you’re fine when you’re lonely
See if it helps, oh no no no
My eyes, my lips, my heart are speaking
But I don’t know if I’m sad, oh not long

There, I find my way in life again
Can’t turn back time
Let it flow, oh silently
Even when I let go of the one I love
Longing, emptiness, loneliness grow
I really don’t know what I’m heartbroken about

Let it flow, oh silently
Even when I let go of the one I love
Longing, emptiness, loneliness grow
I really don’t know what I’m heartbroken about

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics depict the emotional state of becoming numb to one’s own grief and isolation after a painful loss. Despite attempting to conceal the loneliness and pretending to be okay, the speaker confronts a profound emptiness and disorientation where tears no longer flow. Ultimately, it reflects a heavy, melancholic journey toward accepting the natural flow of time and searching for a path back to salvation amidst the lingering sorrow.
