Losing Daylight
Chasing Meaning: Joshua Kim's Melodic Reflection on Love and Time
Lyrics
Take a walk
Expressing the idea of taking a walk.
Take a piece of little broken me and you
Referencing a broken state, suggesting vulnerability or emotional fragility.
You want a talk
Desire for communication or understanding.
Or just some peace in all the fragments of what
Seeking tranquility amidst the shattered pieces of a relationship.
We thought we knew?
Raising a question about the validity of previous knowledge or understanding.
Ever so slowly now
Describing a gradual process, possibly leading to disappointment.
Built up to let you down
Highlighting the buildup that ultimately results in a letdown.
From this day on
Indicating a decisive moment from which things will change.
Forget me not, we never want
Emphasizing the desire to be remembered, to avoid being forgotten.
Goodbye to mean goodbye
Rejecting a conventional farewell, suggesting a reluctance to part ways.
We’re losing daylight, chasing moonlight
Describing the experience of losing daylight metaphorically, possibly referring to losing time or opportunities.
Through lanterns down the street
Depicting a pursuit of something intangible, like chasing moonlight.
If I could slow this down, just hear me out
Expressing a desire to slow down and communicate.
Need to search for what this means
Expressing a need to understand the meaning of the situation.
Cause we’re losing daylight
Reiterating the theme of losing daylight, possibly emphasizing the irreversible nature of change.
We’re losing daylight~
Repeating the idea of losing daylight for emphasis.
Head on, headlong
Describing a direct, forceful approach.
Kept on falling (Falling, falling)
Continuing to fall, possibly alluding to continued emotional descent.
Hold on, moved on
Encouraging to hold on while acknowledging moving forward.
Conscience calling
Suggesting a moral or ethical inner voice.
I know that wounds heal slow
Acknowledging the slow healing process of emotional wounds.
Time to let this go
Acceptance of the need to let go of the past.
But time moves on
Recognizing the passage of time.
Forget me not, for this is not
Reiterating the desire not to be forgotten.
Goodbye, goodbye
Rejecting a conventional farewell again.
We’re losing daylight, chasing moonlight
Repeating the theme of losing daylight, introducing the element of chasing moonlight.
Through lanterns down the street
Reinforcing the imagery of chasing something unattainable.
If I could slow this down, just hear me out

Repeating the need to understand the situation's meaning.
Ooh~
Adding a vocal expression, possibly indicating emotional intensity.
We’re losing daylight, chasing moonlight
Repeating the theme of losing daylight, introducing the element of chasing starlight.
Through lanterns down the street
Continuing the pursuit of something elusive.
If I could slow this down, just hear me out
Reiterating the desire to slow down and communicate.
Need to search for what this means
