Ribbon

Let me introduce you to my new favorite song, its called "Ribbon" by BEAST, a southkorean boy-band. I liked this song so much because of the lyrics and the philosophy of the song

The once tight knot is now becoming undone

The break up that I questioned has come close, for real

This moment right now is probably the hardest for me

Don’t worry, I still don’t resent you

Even if I lose everything, I can’t turn things back

I can’t even keep what’s precious

My miserable self, my closed lips

I couldn’t hold onto you

We’ve come undone

But I want to prettily tie us back together

With all our strength, we can both pull

So our love can be tied into a knot again

Tie up a ribbon, so it won’t come undone

Tie up a ribbon, so we won’t lose each other

If it’s still not too late, If you feel the same way

The composer explain where does the idea came from. It was when he use a hotel gown after taking shower. He already tie the hotel gown very tight, but suddenly it become undone when he walks in the corridor. He then compare this sudden untied hotel gown with a relationship. Even a tight gown can become undone, moreover a relationship, you can face a sudden break up. 

And this morning I have the same experience with the composer. I have tied my shoelace twice and very tight, but suddenly as I walking the shoelace become untied. It makes me realize that once you let your guard down, anything can happen.
