Corner (모퉁이)

OUREALGOAT's song 'Corner (모퉁이)' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the lingering pain of a relationship that has ended. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who cannot move on, standing metaphorically and perhaps literally at a corner, waiting for a love that has already moved on. The corner symbolizes a place of waiting and hoping, a point where the past and present intersect, but the future remains uncertain and out of reach.

The song's protagonist is caught in a cycle of waiting and reminiscing, unable to understand why their partner left and when exactly they were erased from their partner's life. The repeated imagery of waiting at the corner and playing a game of hide and seek ('술래') underscores the futility and frustration of their situation. The protagonist's confusion and inability to comprehend the breakup highlight the emotional disarray and the struggle to find closure.

OUREALGOAT's lyrics also touch on themes of self-blame and the creation of reasons to justify the partner's absence. The protagonist reflects on how they always prioritized their partner, offering support and comfort, only to find themselves walking opposite paths now. The song captures the essence of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on, as the protagonist's thoughts and actions are still deeply intertwined with their lost love. The emotional weight of the song is amplified by the repetitive nature of the lyrics, emphasizing the protagonist's inability to escape their feelings and the corner they find themselves in.
