อยู่ (Holding On)

Jeff Satur's song 'อยู่ (Holding On)' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The protagonist is caught in a cycle of pain and longing, unable to let go of their feelings for someone who has already moved on.

The juxtaposition of these emotions highlights the complexity of unrequited love and the internal conflict it creates.
