Song Meaning of “세월이 가면” by Byun Jin-Sub
This soft, sorrowful ballad by Byun Jin-Sub reflects on a stagnant relationship that has run its course, on a love that has been weakened by time passing. The lyrics tell the story of two lovers who have slowly drifted apart, despite wanting to stay together and the pain as they struggle with the reality of their relationship ending.
The singer speaks of his long-standing love as a silent, ever-present companion in his life, “Even when the winds of fate blow, you remained in my heart warm and heavy.” He remembers the sweet memories that have bring him warmth and solace, even as the time passes and the relationship slowly slips away.
The bittersweet melody goes on to express the sadness and guilt of the singer as he realizes that “When the time passes, our love fades away”. No matter how much he wishes to stay together, the voices of those who have gone apart will eventually fade away, and all they can do now is to accept it and move on.
Despite the inevitability of their love ending, the song also conveys a hint of hope that perhaps this breakup is a temporary farewell, and that they may one day again find each other. “When the time passes, We may find each other again.”
