問自己
順子 Lyrics

The lyrics of 順子's song 問自己 (Ask Yourself) reflect on personal growth and reflection, as well as the fleeting nature of relationships. The song begins by acknowledging that people change over time, and the singer has learned to hold onto attachments even as relationships come and go. The lyrics suggest a sense of longing and sentimentality, as the singer occasionally thinks of a past love and still feels the melancholic emotions associated with that time. The chorus asks how the former lover is doing and questions whether they too occasionally remember the past.

The second verse reflects on the ways love can be a trial, explaining that even if one has loved passionately, they may end up back at square one. The lyrics suggest that the person one loves most deeply may ultimately end up furthest from them. The chorus repeats, reinforcing the sense of longing and wondering if the former lover thinks of the singer as they do of them.

The final section of the song shifts focus to the singer's own reflection, as they ask themselves if they have been too proud and unable to apologize to those they have hurt in the past. The lyrics suggest regret and heartbreak that only come after a person has been unable to withstand their own emotions and thinking about the past. The final repetition of the chorus brings the song full circle, as the singer asks themselves and the former lover about their emotions and memories. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that people may change, but some attachments remain, even if they are marked by heartbreak and longing.
