Tried To Walk

B1A4's song 'Tried To Walk' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person struggling to move on from a past relationship. The opening lines, 'Na honja ireoke neol dugo oneun gil / Ijeulge jiulge kkamake tabeorin nae sarang,' set the tone for the song, expressing the pain of walking alone and the desire to forget a love that has burned out. The imagery of a love that has turned to ashes is a powerful metaphor for the end of a relationship that once burned brightly but is now nothing more than a painful memory.

The song continues to explore the feelings of distance and loss, with lines like 'Jeomjeom meoreojyeo ganeyo jeomjeom sarajyeo ganeyo / Swipge itjineun marayo naega neomu apeunikka.' These lyrics convey the gradual fading of the relationship and the difficulty of letting go. The repetition of 'niga eomneun georireul georeo bonda' emphasizes the loneliness and emptiness felt when walking through places once shared with a loved one. The use of the word 'bonda,' meaning 'to see' or 'to look,' suggests that the protagonist is constantly reminded of their lost love, making the process of moving on even more challenging.

The song also touches on the inevitability of change and the acceptance of pain. Lines like 'Sarangi tteonana bwa i baram tago jeo meolli naragana bwa / Modeun ge byeonhana bwa neodo nacheoreom ireoke tto byeonhana bwa' reflect the realization that love can change and fade away, just like everything else. Despite the pain, the protagonist acknowledges that they must move forward, even if it means walking away from the memories and the shadows of their past love. The song's emotional depth and relatable themes make it a poignant exploration of heartbreak and the journey towards healing.
