44 (Forget Forever)

WOOSUNG's '44 (Forget Forever)' is a poignant exploration of the transient nature of life and relationships. The song opens with a reflection on how life should be effortless and filled with moments of nothingness, yet it often becomes something far more complicated. This sets the stage for a deeper contemplation on the fleeting nature of human connections and experiences. The lyrics urge the listener to savor the present moment, as it might be the last time they experience it in the same way, highlighting the impermanence of life.

The chorus delves into the philosophical question of choosing between darkness and light, symbolizing the moral and existential choices we face. The line 'Did you leave enough of you, you behind' suggests a concern with legacy and the impact one leaves on the world. This introspection is juxtaposed with the realization that 'no one lives forever,' and that 'forever' is merely a comforting word people use when they are hurt. The repetition of 'Forget forever' serves as a reminder to focus on the present rather than clinging to the illusion of eternal permanence.

WOOSUNG's lyrics also touch on the idea of reincarnation or another life, where things might be better, and we could return to a time when life was simpler and less painful. This nostalgic longing for the 'good old days' underscores the human desire to escape present suffering and find solace in the past or future. The song's melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the essence of human vulnerability and the universal quest for meaning in a world where nothing lasts forever.
