ZE:A's All Day Long and the ache of letting go
A ballad about trying to forget someone while your whole day is spent remembering them.
babo gati ni saeng gakman hae, haru jongil
It's a song about the vanity of self-commands. Telling yourself to forget is just another way of keeping the person present. The lyric doesn't resolve the feeling; it just documents the exhausting, circular work of a heart that won't take orders.
The phrase 'haru jongil', 'all day long', is the trap. He says he'll spend the day forgetting, but every line that follows is another memory surfacing. 'Bireo meogeul nun muri mareuji anha', 'the tears I'm holding back won't stop', and he just watches photos and cries. The whole song is that contradiction: a plan to erase someone that turns into a full-day shift of mourning.
'Like a fool, I only think of you, all day long.' It admits the project has failed. The day wasn't for forgetting; it was just another day spent in the same old thoughts.
The way the phrase 'bireo meogeul', 'holding back', keeps returning, each time attached to a different failure: tears, thoughts, the person's face.
