Iseijin Lyrics English Translation by Vaundy
The lyrics writer mentions living with ‘holes in our hearts’ but emphasizes resilience and change. One line translates to, ‘Sadness is what builds our future.’ VAUNDY uses the metaphor of a lighthouse and childhood to highlight how growth often comes from struggle.
