eighteen winter

Soombee's song 'eighteen winter' is a poignant exploration of the emotional transition from the warmth of youth to the coldness of maturity. The recurring imagery of winter and the cold moon serves as a metaphor for the emotional distance and the sense of loss that the artist feels. The lyrics repeatedly mention the arrival of winter, symbolizing a period of emotional coldness and detachment. This is contrasted with the warmth of a past autumn, representing a time of youthful innocence and emotional warmth that has now faded away.

The song's lyrics also delve into the personal introspection of the artist, questioning where the warmth of their 'eighteen autumn' has gone. This phrase suggests a longing for the past and a reflection on how the artist's feelings have changed over time. The mention of cold hands and feet further emphasizes the physical manifestation of this emotional chill, making the sense of loss and detachment more tangible.

The repeated line '너의 커피는 식지 않았는데' (your coffee hasn't cooled) serves as a poignant contrast to the artist's own feelings. It suggests that while the artist's emotions have grown cold, the other person's feelings remain warm and unchanged. This disparity highlights the personal struggle and the sense of isolation that comes with growing up and losing the warmth of youthful emotions. Soombee's melancholic tone and reflective lyrics create a deeply emotional and relatable narrative about the inevitable changes that come with time and the bittersweet nature of growing up.
