산하엽
종현 Jonghyun Lyrics

The lyrics of 산하엽 (Sannahayeop) by 종현 (Jonghyun) is about the transience of life and love, and how both can be delicate and vulnerable like a flower. The opening line of the song, "넌 젖을수록 투명해지는 꽃" (You are a flower that becomes more transparent when soaked), is a metaphor for how the beauty and purity of love can become more evident as it goes through trials and tribulations.

The song also talks about the regret and sorrow that comes with lost love. In the lines, "우리 사이 흰 꽃잎이 후회로 촉촉해져 가 / 투명하지만 사라지진 않아" (The white petals between us become moist with regret / They are transparent but they never disappear), the singer is acknowledging the mistakes they made in the relationship but also accepting that the memories and feelings will always be present.

As the song progresses, the metaphors change from the flower to the wind and the dew, but the message remains the same - things that seem solid and real can fade away without warning or explanation. The line "코앞의 꽃잎아 넌 날 속인 진한 / 향기를 품고 그댈 찾을 수 없도록" (Petals in front of my nose, you deceive me with your strong scent / So that I can't find you) suggests that sometimes the things we want the most are just an illusion.

Overall, 산하엽 is a poetic and emotional exploration of love and the fragility of life. The song reminds us to appreciate the beauty of every moment, even if we know it won't last forever.
