The song tells the story of the end of a failed relationship. Like getting rid of old shackles. A girl who feels like she went through a bad relationship like she went through a war. Despite the fact that this relationship brought her a lot of grief and negative emotions. Now she is finally free.
She does not feel that she is alone, on the contrary, she can breathe deeply.
The Green Sea of Cicadas is like a beautiful green meadow outside the city. As the personification of freedom and hope. Where girl is free to roam and do what she wants, no relationship problems bind her anymore.
Yes, it was a strong love, but the defiant delivery of the singing shows its denial. She is determined that this is the end and is ready to start a new stage in her life. She lets go of old grievances and guilt for her mistakes, deceit and unfulfilled hopes.
The bright sun and the fresh aroma of greenery, as the beginning of a new stage. Everything bad is forgotten in the light of the sun.
lyrics
So many empty words thrown in the wind
So many paths have been crossed
I loved you so much for real
So I didn't leave you when I should have done it
I felt like I went through the war
And finally heard this song under a big tree
Today i will drink sweet wine
And breathe in the greenery
Green sea of cicadas
Cicadas a whole green sea
Sweet shadow of memories
And blessing from the guardian tree
The smell of greenery
And wildflowers around
All I lied for and all I prayed for
Now is forgotten in the light
You could never really get to know me
You better ask yourself, be honest
How long can I take it all?
Do you think I bought into your promise?
I felt like I went through the war
And finally hear this song under a big tree
Tonight I will count the stars
And hum my own melody
Green sea of cicadas
Cicadas a whole green sea
Sweet shadow of memories
And blessing from the guardian tree
The smell of greenery
And wildflowers around
All I lied for and all I prayed for
Now is forgotten in the light
