From the recording Stillness I (orig) (두 시선 사이의 정적 – 원본)
"One Station Apart (한 정거장 사이)". Only one station apart — yet worlds away.
The moment just before meeting, heavy with longing and waves of sound. Two souls cross paths for mere seconds on a station platform — after endless days of silent nearness, of trains passing by. Their eyes lock deeply, but the train departs before words can form. What remains is a fleeting instant of truth, of pounding hearts and quiet pain. Only one station apart — yet an entire world between them.
„One Station Apart (한 정거장 사이)“. Nur eine Station voneinander entfernt und doch Welten auseinander. Der Moment kurz vor der Begegnung liegt schwer in der Luft, getragen von Sehnsucht und Wellen aus Klang. Zwei Seelen kreuzen sich für wenige Sekunden auf einem Bahnsteig — nach endlosen Tagen stiller Nähe, nach Zügen, die immer wieder aneinander vorbeifuhren. Ihre Blicke treffen sich tief. Doch der Zug fährt weiter, bevor Worte entstehen können. Was bleibt, ist ein flüchtiger Augenblick der Wahrheit — pochende Herzen, leiser Schmerz und das Gefühl, dass etwas Wirkliches gerade fast begonnen hätte. Nur eine Station voneinander entfernt — und doch eine ganze Welt zwischen ihnen.
Lyrics
Two platforms apart —
and yet, you’re right there.
Your silhouette
in the train window,
your gaze
piercing through me.
We didn’t speak a word,
but somehow
we both knew everything.
One breath.
One look.
Forever.
Just one station apart —
we almost touched,
almost spoke,
but tears came first.
The train doors closed.
We met
and lost
in seconds.
Even through tears,
a smile remains —
because what we had
was real.
A miracle
brushed past us.
The train leaves,
but you live inside me.
Our hearts still touch —
even just
one station apart.
One station … apart …
