Overall Meaning

In Orange Caramel's song, "The Day You Went Away," the lyrics describe the after-effects of a breakup where one partner is left alone and reflecting on their memories with their significant other. The first verse talks about how memories of the past flood their thoughts, even in the present moment, and how the memories have become a part of their being. They also mention the "seolleim" ("thrill" or "excitement" in Korean) that they felt when they first fell in love with their partner, which still lingers in their memory. However, they reveal that despite the strong emotions they have, they cannot bring themselves to express them.


The second verse continues to describe the state of mind after the breakup. The memories of the past keep coming back and the singer is left with only one song to sing - a song for their lost love. Even when they close their eyes, the image of their former partner still remains in their head. They also mention how their heart still pines for the lost love, but they can only hold onto one memory.


"The Day You Went Away" is a poignant song about a love that has ended and the longing that remains afterward. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional state of someone who has just gone through a breakup. It is a relatable experience for many people who have gone through heartbreak and sings their pain in a way that they can feel understood.
