Section 2. Per track reaction Track # 6. The Benefits of Heartbreak (feat. Lee Su Hyun) Lyrics/Romanization [x]
General Comments This song literally passed by while I was doing my first listen for this album. Itās a subdued song, quite simple, chill, R&B vibe, not much of a stand-out but.. I got hooked when the translated lyrics came out! Itās an open ended, sad track. One that depicts a āmoving on processā wherein for that personās point of view, everyday was a struggle, feeling like time stood still but needs to keep a facade on the outside; going thru the everyday motions of life. Keeping busy, doing the tasks that was abandoned during their time together, going out, getting listless, ātomorrow is a rerun of today. Realizing that thereās benefits of being broken hearted, but it will never change the fact that there is nothing left except for time that is rushing and that person is left asking what is it that he/she is living for.Ā
I like how the 2 rappers tell 2 separate coping mechanisms to get thru a heartbreak, but it all winds up and falls when the hook comes; like you do these things to cope but then at the end of the day you ask yourself what are you living for.
For me, the word ābenefitā in the song title can be compared to a band aid, a temporary remedy to a sustained wound, but we all know wounds heal right?Ā
Favorite Line āThe moment your hands left mine, they were replaced by the rushing hands of timeā (Tablo, 1st verse)
āWhy am I like this? What do I live for? Are you like this? Why me? (Su Hyun, Hook) āTomorrow is a rerun of today.ā (Mithra, 2nd verse)
