Paper Hearts explores the vulnerability of youth hidden behind a tough urban exterior. The group juxtaposes gritty street aesthetics—oversized silhouettes and industrial backdrops—with the emotional fragility of 'paper' that can be easily folded, torn, or blown away by the wind.

Lyrics — "Raining Graphite"
(Verse 1)
Street lights flickering like my heart rate
Geori-eseo nan honja geotgo isseo (I’m walking alone on the street)
Graffiti fading like a memory's weight
Nunmuri goyeo (Tears are welling up) in this concrete state
My sneakers are worn, my hoodie is oversized
To hide the shaky breath, to hide the tired eyes
City noise drowning out the things I wanna say
Bitmuri naerin (Rain is falling) turning blue to gray
(Pre-Chorus)
They say paper hearts cutting my love trough hard trying to remember all the good times is weak, easily torn
Hajiman nan beotigo isseo (But I’m holding on)
In the middle of the storm
Folded into shapes I don't recognize
Looking for the sun in these iron skies
(Chorus)
We are just Paper Hearts dont think i will just forget about it.
Barame nallineun (Flying in the wind)
Falling apart, yeah, we’re slowly dying
Broken pieces on the asphalt
Neon nareul itji ma (Don't forget me)
Paper Hearts, fragile in the dark
Oh, we’re drifting, drifting, neon nareul itji ma
(Verse 2)
Check the rhythm, it’s a heavy heartbeat skip
Nae mam-eun jongi-cheoreom (My heart is like paper) thin and about to rip
I paint my pain on the brick wall, neon pink
But it washes away before I can even blink
No diamond chains, just the weight of the night
Kkamkkamhan bame (In the dark night) chasing a ghost light
Concrete jungle where the paper hearts bleed
Sarang-i piryohae (I need love) is all that I need
(Chorus)
We are just Paper Hearts
Barame nallineun (Flying in the wind)
Falling apart, yeah, we’re slowly dying
Broken pieces on the asphalt
Neon nareul itji ma (Don't forget me)
Paper Hearts, fragile in the dark
(Bridge)
Fold me into a plane, let me fly away
I sungan-eul neomeo (Beyond this moment) to a better day
Even if I tear, even if I burn
I’m a lesson that the world’s gotta learn
Don't throw me away, don't throw me away...
(Final Chorus)
We are just Paper Hearts
Barame nallineun (Flying in the wind)
Falling apart, yeah, we’re slowly dying
Broken pieces on the asphalt
