Experiencing music differently before and after translating the lyrics

I’ve been listening to a lot of Japanese music recently and came across a song called Trapped in the past by Tuyu. I’ve been playing it on repeat because it’s so catchy and upbeat, but I finally started digging into the lyrics and now I’m sad lol the lyrics are very melancholy and a stark contrast to the feel of the song I thought. Wanted to share and see if others have had similar experiences .

Here’s a link to the song if interested
