His songs often contain poignant sentiments about the struggles of people in modern times. Moreover, his soft tender vocals that mimic the murmuring sounds of river flow beautifully complement the rich delicate melodies. Lucid was honored with the Best Pop Single award at the 3rd annual Korean Music Awards in 2006 - an achievement especially worthy of praise considering that the artist did not carry out any promotional activities in Korea.
무지개
Lucid Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
나에게 사랑은 무지개 같아
비가 온 뒤 아무리 찾아보려 하여도
보이지 않는 꿈같은, 꿈같은 얼굴
오늘 혼자서 울고 있다
떡 하니 걸린 무지개
바라봤네, 이렇게 새색시처럼 수줍게
참 이상한 거야 이 공간에서
오색, 찬란히 비추니
마음을 돌려 바라보니
무지개가 보이더군, 그래
사랑, 복잡한 꿈이지만
이상한 희망이지만
따라가리, 멀리 그대 두 발 디딘 곳
그대 떠나기 전에
The lyrics to the song "무지개" by Lucid Fall speak about love being like a rainbow, something beautiful and elusive. The singer describes love as something strange and intangible, something that can't be seen or grasped, even after rain (which usually brings out the beauty of a rainbow). The singer is alone and crying, but in the midst of his sorrow, he sees a rainbow and is captivated by its beauty. The rainbow is described as being shy and hesitant, with its colors shining brilliantly. The singer notes that the rainbow seems to offer him hope and he turns his attention to it, as if it were a symbol of love.
The song seems to be about the elusive nature of love and the way it can be fleeting and difficult to grasp. The rainbow, with its beauty and transience, is an apt metaphor for this. The singer is caught up in his own emotions and sadness, but is drawn out of it by the beauty of the rainbow which inspires hope in him. The song suggests that even in difficult times, beauty and hope can still be found and that these things can help us through the hard times.
