Song Interpretation
Short Summary

Detailed Insights
The lyrics begin with the ticking of time in a city and alleys, setting a melancholic backdrop for introspection. The imagery of warm hands and misplaced umbrellas conveys a sense of yearning and displacement, while the carousel metaphor mirrors the emotional ups and downs of the narrator's journey. The repeated questioning of "Where have you placed my heart?" underscores feelings of loss and uncertainty.
As the narrative unfolds, themes of fated failure, loneliness brought by maturity, and chaotic thoughts reveal the complexity of navigating relationships and self-identity. The metaphor of boiling water overflowing in the heart effectively illustrates emotional turmoil. Toward the end, the lyrics shift to a tone of acceptance, with lines like "End this anxious game" and "Freely open your heart," symbolizing personal growth and liberation. The culmination in "Finally speak out" marks a cathartic resolution, celebrating the courage to confront and embrace one's emotions.
