What words would you cry out when you realize that the heart of the lover you were laughing with until yesterday is no longer turned toward you? Released digitally in March 2022, this song by Marcy captures the complicated mix of anger and lingering attachment toward a fickle partner, set against a fast-paced rock sound.
It was also included on their first album, “Memory,” released in June 2022, and the music video featuring Naenano drew attention.
While venting the frustration of betrayal, the protagonist suffers from being unable to completely hate the other person—perfectly voicing the feelings of someone fresh off a heartbreak.
It’s a song that can support your heart when you’ve gone through a breakup so painful that just remembering it makes your chest tighten.

Winding RoadPorunogurafiti
The older we get, the more we imagine a future with our partner and feel something like “eternal love.” Even though we’re sure we feel that eternal love from the bottom of our hearts, a parting comes all the same, cruelly.
A misbuttoning we won’t notice until far down the line—where did we go wrong? We truly loved each other all along, yet a single fleeting moment made the relationship crumble so easily.
And yet, in the end, there’s a faint glimpse of hope: a resolve to rise again while keeping the feelings we’ve nurtured close to our hearts.
These are the lyrics of such a tale.
