I want to stop these feelings of love
I hear you’re doing well
My friends tease me, telling me about you

Your seasonal jacket was hanging
What is this feeling piling up
Your scent is on it

Never scatters away
It just keeps piling up in my heart
Tangled and rolling around

Like dust, they come back and pile up in my heart

I want to be deceived even though I know
The saying ‘time heals’ is fake every day
What should I believe to ease my heart?

Your ID photo remains
What is this feeling piling up
Your memories are on it
heut-nal-li-neun il-i eobs-eo
ma-eum ga-deug-hi ssa-yeo-man ga-yo
eong-kyeo-seo gul-leo-da-ni-jyo
Never scatters away
It just keeps piling up in my heart
Tangled and rolling around
meon-ji-cheo-reom da-si dol-a-wa ajig sa-rang-han-da-go-yo
Like dust, they come back saying I still love you
The song beautifully encapsulates the agonizing aftermath of a breakup, comparing lingering affection to microscopic dust that continuously accumulates. It portrays the frustrating inability to stop loving someone, where ordinary items like an old jacket or a photograph keep triggering painful memories. Dismissing the cliché that time heals all wounds, the track delivers a vulnerable confession that no matter how hard one tries to discard the past, the persistent yearning inevitably returns, settling deep within the heart as an unbreakable romantic attachment and bittersweet emotional residue.
