But even then, it's still uplifting.
Because no more North Korean prison camp.
I don't think it's depressing either, that's not what I'm looking for. To me the sort of frozen landscape that the song evokes isn't depressing, it's starkly beautiful and desolate, vast and humbling. It's like being somewhere wide open and empty where you can see millions of stars in the sky, and staring up them is overwhelming in its beauty but also sobering with the realization of how very small you are.
