Sorrow
$en$ Lyrics

The lyrics to $en$'s song "Sorrow" are filled with poetic imagery and symbolism, portraying a sense of loneliness and regret. The first two lines describe a sun tangled in thorns and the mixture of sighs and regret. The use of "sun tangled in thorns" represents the pain and hurt in a beautiful way, highlighting the harsh reality of life. The line "sighs mixed with regret" sets the tone for the rest of the song indicating that there was something that went wrong that the singer is still holding onto.

The next couplet talks about laughing at a dream that has lost its glory and the hearts of people that have been devoured by loneliness. The line "Ah ah cruelly grow" indicates how people develop in a cruel manner in a world that is so harsh. The following lines express the singer's wish to melt into the white background and to show love with a smile. The singer's use of the word "melting" represents the need to blend in and not stand out, which could portray the singer's perspective of the oppressed in society.

The last few lyrics express the regret and helplessness the singer is feeling. The singer mentions that they are unable to forgive themselves for their tears, lies, and love, expressing their self-deprecation. The line "I hate myself, but I can't go back" talks about how the singer feels about themselves and their situation, expressing that they are stuck in their current state. The song ends with the line "The burdened crimson sky just echoes. The sobbing voice can no longer be heard, still unable to reach" which portrays the feeling of helplessness and the singer's sentiments of wanting to reach out to someone but not able to do so.
