The song reflects on a past relationship that has changed over time. It begins with memories of love and warmth, symbolized by spring and blooming flowers. However, as seasons change, so do the feelings and connection between the two people. The lyrics express a sense of loss and distance, comparing their fading relationship to lanterns in the sky, drifting apart as time passes.
We reminisce about promises of forever that were broken, feeling a growing emptiness and longing for the other person. Despite attempts to reach out, the emotional connection has diminished, leaving only memories that feel distant and unattainable. The bridge contemplates whether recalling shared memories could rekindle their bond, but ultimately acknowledges that those memories are beautiful yet incomplete.
In the final chorus, the imagery of fading lanterns emphasizes the inevitability of their separation, with the once-bright love now reduced to just a name, highlighting the sorrow of lost intimacy and connection.
