Moonlight Drawn By Clouds
Gummy
Whispers of Unspoken Love Under Moonlit Skies
Gummy's song 'Moonlight Drawn By Clouds' is a tender ballad that delves into the depths of unspoken love and the courage it takes to reveal one's true feelings. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is deeply in love but hesitant to express their emotions, fearing rejection or misunderstanding. The opening lines, '말하지 않아도 난 알아요 / 그대 안에 오직 한사람 / 바로 나란걸' (Even if you don't say it, I know / The only person in your heart / Is me), set the tone for a love that is felt deeply but remains unvoiced.
The song uses nature metaphors to convey the delicate and fragile nature of this love. References to trembling hearts, hidden feelings, and the imagery of capturing the beloved in a flower petal carried by the wind ('어렸었던 꽃잎에 / 그대를 담아서 / 부러오는 바람에 / 그대 나에게 오는 날') evoke a sense of longing and hope. The protagonist's fear of their love being unnoticed or unreciprocated is palpable, yet there is a persistent hope that one day, their love will be acknowledged and returned.
As the song progresses, there is a shift from hesitation to a resolve to be brave. The repeated lines '내 사랑을 그대가 부르면 / 용기 내 볼게요' (If you call my love / I will be brave) signify a turning point where the protagonist decides to muster the courage to express their feelings. The song concludes with a promise to cherish and protect this love, no matter the uncertainties. Gummy's emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Moonlight Drawn By Clouds' a heartfelt ode to the complexities of love and the bravery it takes to reveal one's heart.
