Jaihoon’s lyric explores the paradoxical nature of love, using biblical allusions to depict the tension between longing and reverence.
Flee not so far,
Lest I lose my sight,
Like Jacob of Canaan.
Hey, my love-cheeked Beloved.
Approach not so close,
Lest I faint,
Like Moses of Egypt.

Jaihoon explores the mystical paradox of the ageless, vibrant soul trapped within the decaying cage of mortality.
Fading stars require long waits. Yet, the Beloved of God transcends time, knowing your name before you even speak.
