Infinite: The Eye (2016)

The song "The Eye" by INFINITE explores the emotions and aftermath of a painful breakup. The lyrics depict a person who has finally reached the point of forgetting their former lover, after a long and difficult period of separation. The storm-like winds and rain that once represented their turbulent relationship have finally subsided. However, despite the attempt to move on, the memories and feelings associated with the ex-partner still linger. The protagonist feels overwhelmed by the nostalgia and is haunted by their former love, even with the smallest interaction or thought of them. They realize that the places they have tried to escape to or run away from are the same places they have ended up after leaving their ex-lover. This realization serves as a moment of awakening. The chorus portrays the struggle of not being able to fully let go of the past relationship. The unfinished goodbyes, the connections that remain, and the endless regret all contribute to the protagonist's inability to move on. Even when they try to escape, they find themselves swept back toward their ex-lover. The lingering attachment and the inability to erase the memories weigh heavily on their soul, as symbolized by the guilt associated with the act of capturing their former lover's image in their eyes.
