Can Love Be Fair (feat. BEN)
Golden (G. Soul)
The Unfairness of Love: A Heartfelt Plea
Golden (G. Soul) and BEN's collaboration, 'Can Love Be Fair,' delves into the complexities and inherent inequalities often found in romantic relationships. The song's lyrics poignantly express the frustration and heartache of one partner who feels they are giving more than they are receiving. This imbalance is highlighted in the lines, '언제나 너에게 주기만 하는 나' (I am always the one giving to you) and '고마운 마음이 이미 지겨워지는 너' (Your grateful heart is already getting tired). The singer grapples with the emotional toll of constantly sacrificing their own needs and desires for the sake of the relationship.
The recurring question, '사랑이 공평 할 수는 없을까' (Can love be fair?), serves as the song's central theme. It reflects a deep yearning for mutual understanding and equal emotional investment. The lyrics also touch on the efforts to bridge the gap, as seen in '오해 하고 짊어고 이해 하려 애써다 또 멀어져 가는 너' (Misunderstanding and carrying the burden, trying hard to understand, yet you drift away). This line encapsulates the struggle to maintain a connection despite the growing distance and misunderstandings.
Culturally, the song resonates with many who have experienced the pain of unreciprocated love. Golden (G. Soul) is known for his soulful voice and emotive delivery, which adds depth to the song's melancholic tone. BEN's contribution further enhances the emotional weight, creating a powerful duet that speaks to the universal longing for fairness and balance in love. The song's introspective nature encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the often-unspoken dynamics that can lead to heartache and disillusionment.
