Main Content and Themes:

Conflicting Feelings: The song depicts the complex emotions of someone struggling with the important event of graduation, experiencing sleepless nights of worry and the conflict between wanting to go and not wanting to go (0:23-1:20).

A Special Day: The song portrays the hope of possibly seeing "you" at graduation and the desire to express one's feelings one last time (0:42-1:03).

A Shift in Determination: The song shows a shift from being unable to move to overcoming the urge to run away and developing a positive determination to "go" in order to change one's destiny (2:04-3:31).

This song delicately portrays the feelings of youth as they try to take a courageous step forward at the milestone of graduation.

Why are you hesitating about going to graduation?

The main reason the protagonist of this video is hesitant about attending graduation is because of hidden feelings. The points of conflict that can be gleaned from the lyrics are as follows:

Special feelings for "you": Graduation is the last important opportunity to see "you," but because of feelings that have been kept hidden for so long, the protagonist lacks the confidence to express them and is hesitant (0:42-1:03).

Fluctuating fear and anticipation: The desire to see "you" (0:42) and the anxiety about expressing those feelings, and the desire to run away from it (1:09-1:14, 2:14-2:20) are intricately intertwined.

Sadness at the end of the relationship: At the "final" moment of graduation, anxiety and sadness about what the future holds are making the protagonist hesitate to take that first step (1:42-1:49).

However, in the latter half of the video, the protagonist's determination to "change their destiny" and "not stand still" is depicted, showing their resolve to move forward (2:41-3:31).

What is it like to wake up in the morning?

The protagonist's morning awakening in this video is far from pleasant.

As stated at the beginning of the lyrics (0:16-0:23), they say, "I didn't wake up well," and "I haven't been able to sleep well," conveying their mental distress due to tension and anxiety as the important day of graduation approaches.

What is the meaning of graduation?

In this video, "graduation" has a symbolic meaning that goes beyond a mere school event, representing a **"turning point in life"** and a "crossroads of destiny."
