A fast read before the full lyric

A Korean indie ballad about the stubborn persistence of shared moments, even when the relationship has moved on.

Most breakup songs are about the pain of loss.

This one is about the quiet, almost administrative problem of where to store the warmth that's left over.

Editor's note

10cm's Drawer holds memories that won't close

A Korean indie ballad about the stubborn persistence of shared moments, even when the relationship has moved on.

nalgajin seorap sogeseo jagatdeon seorol gieokae

Most breakup songs are about the pain of loss. This one is about the quiet, almost administrative problem of where to store the warmth that's left over. The lyric treats memory like a physical object with its own stubborn climate.

The phrase 'nalgajin seorap sogeseo jagatdeon seorol gieokae', 'remember the snow that piled up in the closed drawer', does the heavy lifting. It's not just a nostalgic image; it's about a specific, preserved coldness, a feeling you put away but can still feel the shape of. The drawer is shut, but the memory hasn't melted.

It turns a common metaphor, memory as a stored thing, into something tactile and slightly impossible. Snow in a drawer shouldn't last, but this does.

The way the acoustic guitar stays sparse lets the vocal delivery carry all the weight, especially on the English refrain 'When I'm far from home'.
