Lyrics Meaning
Here is the translation of the lyrics of “Cassette”
Your words, the way you first looked at me
I must have had a wrong idea about you
Somehow, I know why
[Pre-Chorus]
I carefully follow your sight
Where your eyes stayed
The way we held each other
Breathlessly in the orange sunset
[Chorus]
As if every vein in our body could listen
My chatty memories whine at you
The way we used to fiddle with our lips, our fingers, only you can rewind
But yesterday my many memories made you uncomfortable
[Pre-Chorus]
I carefully follow your sight
Where your eyes stayed
The way we held each other
Breathlessly in the orange sunset
[Chorus]
As if every vein in our body could listen
My chatty memories whine at you
The way we used to fiddle with our lips, our fingers, only you can rewind
But yesterday my many memories made you uncomfortable
[Bridge]
I draw you in orange
Play me once again
Pause no matter what
Forget so that we start from our dawn
You left like we’re strangers
Gave it up too fast
So I had to make it slow
[Chorus]
As if every vein in our body could listen
My chatty memories whine at you
The way we used to fiddle with our lips, our fingers, only you can rewind
But yesterday my many memories made you uncomfortable
[Outro]
You left like we’re strangers
