Let Us Go (둘만의 세상으로 가)

Crush's song "Let Us Go" is a poignant exploration of fleeting love and the desire to hold onto precious moments. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that is as transient as the wind, brushing past the narrator and leaving a lasting impression. The opening lines, "바람 같은 그대가 나를 스쳐가네요 / 잠시 쉬어 날 바라봐요" (You, like the wind, brush past me / Take a moment to rest and look at me), set the tone for a narrative filled with longing and ephemeral beauty.

The song delves into the inevitability of change and the passage of time, as expressed in the lines, "이 모든 날들이 영원할 순 없기에 / 저무러가는 저 달에 기도했죠 / 모든 시간이 멈추길" (Because these days cannot last forever / I prayed to the setting moon / For all time to stop). This plea to the moon symbolizes a wish to freeze time and savor the moments of love and connection. The moon, often a symbol of romance and melancholy, underscores the bittersweet nature of the narrator's feelings.

As the song progresses, the narrator dreams of a world where they can express their unspoken words and emotions. The chorus, "둘만의 세상으로 가 / 못다 한 말을 전하길" (Let's go to a world for just the two of us / To convey the words left unsaid), reflects a yearning for a private, timeless space where love can be fully realized. Despite the inevitability of separation, the narrator's love remains steadfast, as highlighted in the lines, "그댄 날 떠나겠지만 / 나의 사랑은 닫힐" (You will leave me / But my love will not close).

The imagery of the night and the moon recurs throughout the song, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The night, a time when the world is quiet and introspective, becomes a backdrop for the narrator's deepest emotions. The song's closing lines, "같은 하늘 아래 다른 세상 속 / 같은 별을 우린 함께 바라봐요 / 서로의 밤하늘 아래" (Under the same sky, in different worlds / We look at the same star together / Under each other's night sky), suggest a connection that transcends physical presence, hinting at a love that endures despite distance and time.
