Parting

ONEWE's song 'Parting' is a poignant exploration of the emotional turbulence that accompanies the end of a relationship. The lyrics are rich with celestial imagery, using metaphors of stars, asteroids, and the cosmos to depict the gravity and magnitude of the feelings involved. The recurring theme of 'repeated collisions' between the two individuals suggests ongoing conflicts that have ultimately led to a separation. The mention of turning one's back signifies a point of no return, where one partner has emotionally distanced themselves, leaving the other grappling with unspoken words and unresolved emotions.

The song's narrative is deeply introspective, as the protagonist reflects on the dwindling time they have left to express their true feelings. The 'hourglass' and 'dark shadows' symbolize the impending end and the emotional weight that comes with it. The protagonist's desire to 'fly high to the sky' and their struggle with identity ('Who am I!? it’s 딜레마!') highlight the internal conflict and the search for meaning in the aftermath of the breakup. The imagery of 'wings of a fallen angel' and 'whispers of a puppet' further emphasize the sense of loss and helplessness.

Despite the sorrow, there is a glimmer of hope and resilience. The protagonist vows to hold on to their memories and the essence of their relationship, even as they face the 'end of the world.' The idea of meeting again, even if it means defying time and space, underscores the enduring nature of true feelings. The song beautifully captures the bittersweet essence of parting, where love and pain coexist, and the hope for reconciliation remains alive.
