忘记他

The speaker finds it impossible to forget someone deeply loved. Forgetting would mean losing not only the relationship but also happiness, direction, and a sense of self. The song moves between grief and gratitude: the beloved is associated with pain at their absence, yet also with a fuller, more beautiful way of living.

Several images make this feeling clear. “Losing the directions” suggests being unable to find one’s way in life, while “locking the heart” implies shutting away the ability to feel joy. The idea that love can make “ordinary things beautiful” shows how the relationship changed the speaker’s experience of everyday life. “Engraved in the heart” means remembered deeply and permanently, not literally marked there.

The repeated question of how the speaker could forget suggests that remembering is not a choice they can simply switch off. The beloved may be gone, but the speaker’s memories still bring both comfort and suffering. It is also possible to hear the song as valuing the lasting influence of love, rather than only mourning a lost relationship; the lyrics leave that tension unresolved.
