• Mother
    • A good day for some /
    • A tiring day for another /
    • But they put aside their daily lives /
    • To be with each other /
    • Greeting us with warmth /
    • Opening her arms to us all /
    • Her warmth is a feast in itself /
    • healing us from the daily grind /
    • Her love cannot be paid back /
    • Thanks for the unconditional love /
    • I remember the last words she ever spoke /
    • With her frail lips /
    • She wanted to fix me a meal /
    • A short burst of words, I still remember vividly /
    • The sorrow in her eyes in the photo /
    • What could she be smiling at? /
    • Her hand on my shoulder /
    • I felt the weight of her life /
    • I’m not sad about her passing /
    • She left this hell to be in heaven /
    • She’ll be in the company of her mother /
    • Finally finding stillness and peace /
    • The source of unhappiness /
    • Wanting to push him into depths of hell /
    • But she said not to hate my father /
    • Forgive me, but I cannot do that /
    • Returning here after 10 years gives me chills /
    • A town still tacky and stubborn /
    • Your absence is the only thing that changed /
    • The only one that changed
  • Abandoned harbour:
    • my hometown is an abandoned harbour /
    • A poor town where sunset is always free
  • First love concludes unfulfilled / My first love was like a sunset
  • If your southern dialect remains, you still have a piece of truth of hometown in you
  • Never in my dreams / Didn’t want to come back / Not a single photo of the three of us / No memories of living as a family / Painful memories hung on the walls / They smile in the photos / So full of tragedies / a smile shrouded in darkness
  • move to my resting spot where Afternoon sunlight greets me
  • Sunset makes me dizzy / Leaving bloodshot in my eyes / Last night was filled with sorrow
  • We exist between night and day / Sun and the moon exist together in the sky / As I look at you / I feel sorrow in my heart / I’m going crazy / It’s a love song / To lovesick me / Hear me sing / The song for my pain / First love concludes unfulfilled
  • the sunset: It’s majestic but also pretty / Pretty but also so sad / If something so sad can be so beautiful / I thought it wouldn’t be sad anymore
  • Watching the red sunset / Sorrow filled my face and the sky / Under it, I still remain the same just as this place / The scent left me a long time ago / But a book that feels similar to my hometown / Do I want to refill the memories? / Or feel sorry for him / It’s not easy to leave / Perhaps it’s the warmth that I long for
  • Do you know why I liked the sunset? / The sky above the horizon, it’s completely bare without it. / But the sunset fills up the sky / I loved that.
  • Doesn’t the sunset feel as though it’s covering you in silk?
  • Can’t carve out the vivid memory / Losing something I lack / Regretting what I could not pay back / Didn’t, wouldn’t want to be like him, but with his absence / His lasting words became the title of my untitled life / Sitting by the grave / The kid marked a comma on his past / And using your will as an excuse / He started anew / A good life is the best payback / Just watch me then / Filling in the rest of the notebook / Leaving behind the sunset of my hometown / Evaporating memories with a long sigh / But the nostalgia remains, never gone for good / The town where the sun sets / Father’s line between light and dark / Had to turn my back on him, where we made dry peace / Reflecting on our time away, I write these lyrics / From an abandoned harbour / Where the sunset is always free / Leaving the next step blank / Surviving the long winter / The stranger in the mirror / Is like a boat without a skipper / Lingering waves rusting it away / Hard salt on dried sweat spots, why was it abandoned / What’s important is how I always avoided everything / See no evil, hear no evil, don’t trust anyone / But I couldn’t hate the one who made me look straight / Resembling the one in heaven / Resembling the one alive / She’s the light that shines the darkness within / Even shattered souls shine when light is shone / How was I so blind? / My heart could not say / Status quo in effect, I won’t make excuses / But my heart was poor, with only scars to show / Never received the love / Didn’t have love to give, I’m sorry / If your feelings from 12 years ago still remain intact, I will love you / And love the way I love you / There’s so much I want to say but it’s hard to do it with 16 measures
