Liner notes
몰랐다면 거짓말이다. 새벽 네 시부터 그것은 지체 없이 달려들고 있었다. 알고도 왜 그렇게 열심히 쌓아 올려서는. 무너짐을 보고 싶었던 걸까? 무모하고 싶었던 것일지도 모른다. 전부 울어내야 했던 것 같다. 그곳에 남은 모래알들이 유독 빛나 보였다.
To say I didn't know would be a lie. Since four in the morning, it had been rushing in, relentless. So why, knowing all this, did I build it so high? Did I want to watch it crumble? Perhaps I simply wanted to be reckless. I think it was something I needed to cry all out. And the grains of sand left on that shore… they shimmered with a particular light.

Lyrics
긴 밤을 지나고 밀려오는 어두운 바다로 이어지는 차가운 모래 위에서 사랑을 말하고 말없이 빛나는 달이 파도를 붙잡을 동안 시간을 재는 바람은 이제 그만하고 가라고 난 끝까지 너의 손 놓지 않아 턱 끝까지 물이 차올라도 다 잠겨서 숨이 콱 막혀와도 갈 수 없어 갈 수 없어 옆에 있어줘 너의 내일엔 내가 없고 나의 손짓은 어리석어 다가오는 파도는 높고 부숴지는 성의 모래들 더 높이 더 높이 또 쌓고 쌓여도 결국 바다로 조금씩 조금씩 밀려온 파도가 나를 감싸도 난 끝까지 너의 손 놓지 않아 턱 끝까지 물이 차올라도 다 잠겨서 숨이 콱 막혀와도 갈 수 없어 갈 수 없어 옆에 있어줘 It was just one wave. We drifted too far away. Behind the shore where our castle washed away. Fading sand remains.
Unofficial translation — may be inaccurate
Past the long night it comes rushing in, down to where the dark sea begins — on the cold sand, we spoke of love. While the moon, shining without a word, holds the waves in place, the wind that keeps the time says: enough now, go. To the very end I won't let go of your hand. Even as the water rises to my chin, even fully sunk, choking for breath, I can't leave. I can't leave. Stay beside me. Your tomorrow doesn't have me in it, and my reaching hand is foolish. The oncoming waves run high; the castle's sand keeps crumbling. Higher, higher — pile it up again and again, it still returns to the sea. Little by little the waves wash in and wrap around me. To the very end I won't let go of your hand. Even as the water rises to my chin, even fully sunk, choking for breath, I can't leave. I can't leave. Stay beside me. It was just one wave. We drifted too far away. Behind the shore where our castle washed away. Fading sand remains.
