Our Tears (서로의 눈물이 되어)

Hyolyn's song 'Our Tears (서로의 눈물이 되어)' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring nature of memories. The lyrics convey a deep sense of sorrow and longing, as the narrator grapples with the pain of a lost relationship. The opening lines, '슬픈 눈으로 날 바라보지 마요 / 아픈 그대 마음 다 보이잖아,' set the tone for the song, revealing the visible heartache in the eyes of the beloved. This imagery of visible pain underscores the emotional transparency and vulnerability between the two individuals.

The song delves into the complexities of moving on, with the narrator expressing a fear of being haunted by memories, '추억 속 어디쯤 한참을 서성일까 봐 / 지워낼수록 그리움으로 남을까 봐.' This fear of lingering memories highlights the struggle of letting go, even when the relationship has ended. The chorus, '그대와 나 우리 서로 눈물이 됐지만 / 시간을 건너서 눈이 부신 그날에,' speaks to the hope that, despite becoming each other's tears, they will one day reunite in a brighter future, holding onto the dream-like memories of their past.

Hyolyn's emotive delivery and the melancholic melody amplify the song's themes of enduring love and the passage of time. The lyrics, '나의 눈물 닦아줄 / 나의 맘 안아줄 / 단 하나뿐인 사람,' emphasize the irreplaceable nature of the beloved, suggesting that true love transcends time and separation. The song concludes with a hopeful note, envisioning a reunion akin to the changing seasons, '열두 달이 지나고 / 다시 온 계절처럼 / 그대도 오겠죠 내게.' This cyclical imagery reinforces the idea that love, much like the seasons, is an eternal and recurring force.
