Lyrics
He's lost in despair
He is consumed by a feeling of hopelessness.
Darkness, a song and a lullaby
He finds solace in darkness, a melody, and a comforting song.
On his way alone like a satellite
He's traveling alone, detached like a satellite in space.
There was a man who lived giving shards of happiness
Depicts a man who used to spread moments of joy, albeit fractured.
A man who lived
Highlights various aspects of this man: his existence, sorrow, and his demise while concealing his true emotions.

-A man who died wearing a mask
-Once there, there was there was a man who gave his life away
Illustrates a man who sacrificed himself, concealed his emotions, and found brief happiness through others' approval.
A man who hide
-A man who sighed
-A man who smiled hearing a clap
-He's paying the price
Portrays the consequences he faces for overpricing the 'ticket' he offered—living dangerously balanced but fraught with potential mishaps.
