Lyric

A song spun from the depths of despair, for embracing pain

The inhumanity of everyday life, fading hope, and a sinking sense of despair like gravity. This song honestly expresses the deep loneliness and inescapable suffering that everyone will experience at some point.

"Embracing the punishment of living / My heart beats in a lonely place."

With the question "What if I were to disappear?" in mind, the song focuses on the world's indifference and the reality of life that continues to beat despite it.

But this song is more than just lament. Without seeking approval or salvation from others, the bridge declares, "The emotions in my hands are the only truth," expressing a powerful determination to accept even deep sadness and pain as "my own" and to start breathing again from ground zero.

"The Punishment of Living" is a message song that gently comforts listeners in the depths of despair, quietly encouraging them to "move forward" even while carrying pain.
