In A Different Life
ChangMin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
たまに眩し過ぎて
瞳を閉じる時もある
儚く流れる道の先
微笑む夕日が馴染んでいる
In a different life
In a different life
君の声
In a different life
いつかはきっと終わるのだろう
切りの無い戸惑いは
一歩一歩進んで行ければ
君に出会うこと信じるから
寂しい日々さえ大切さ
In a different life
君のところへ
In a different life
会いに行く
In a different life
流れ星見て願った一つ
その奇跡 It′s you
In a different life
君のところへ
In a different life
会いに行く
In a different life
In a different life
風が運んでる
In a different life
君の声
In a different life
The lyrics to ChangMin's song In A Different Life are about the longing to be with someone in an alternate life or universe. The song begins by describing the overwhelming intensity of certain lights on the street, sometimes causing the singer to close their eyes in response. The lyrics then move on to describe a fleeting path and a setting sun that is familiar to the singer, but implies that it may not be a part of their current life. The chorus repeats the titular phrase, "In a different life" and follows with the wind carrying the voice of the loved one, whom the singer believes they will meet again one day. The singer believes that even the loneliest of days are valuable because they contain the promise of meeting the loved one again in another life.
The second verse offers a glimmer of hope, stating that the doubt and confusion that comes with the longing for the loved one is never-ending, but if the singer takes one step at a time, they will continue to move forward. This is because they believe in meeting their loved one again in another life. There is a reference to a shooting star the singer has wished on for the possibility of reunion with the loved one, and the entire song seems to revolve around the notion of alternate lives and the yearning for love and companionship that transcends realities.
Overall, In A Different Life is an emotional and poetic track that emphasizes the longing for someone who exists in a different place or time. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses the idea that love is universal and eternal, and regardless of the circumstances, they have faith that they will be reunited with their loved one in another life.

again, views dont matter to us cassies, what important is, we are still here for you guys even after so many years. An artist cant stay long in the business if they dont have their fans. With us still listening to your music and watching your videos, enough to prove we are not like others who only go for looks and popularity. Though you guys are incredibly handsome, but your music and good personality what actually keep us staying. Thank you TVXQ for the past years and not forgetting your roots and still performing with full passion like how you guys first started in the music industry. Really a humble group and good sunbae for every hoobae in the kpop industry.
@3008minnie
hehe thank you so much for taking your time to watch this video and reading some of the fans' comments though you are not a cassie yourself. It's sad how the kpop fans nowadays only care about views, and if the artist didnt get enough views or only little views, they assume the artist is irrelevant or not that popular anymore. Different artist has different era. Its a fact that BTS and EXO have younger fans, therefore many of them have spare time to help raise the views up, but as a fan of TVXQ and also representative of every cassie who has always been there since the beginning up until now, we are also growing older (bet to dare TVXQ has many ahjumma fans haha), thus we dont have much of our free time. But, still we managed to slot in some of our time to watch their video. This too will apply to every of the younger fans, exo-l or armys, as they will also be entering this cycle in the near future.
@missmaddymad1
Ah, this is making me cry. I'm a younger fan myself, but I absolutely love them. Min and Yunho are so passionate, but so calm, and ridiculously caring towards their fans. I may not have been there from the beginning, but I sure as heck will be there for as long as they keep pushing forward, and years after that, too.
@nenyaisyah6254
Some other fans like to watch from naver or vlive other than YT. And thats is for their benefits not just how much your YT viewers.
@pariyang5839
though m not a cassie it made me so emotional
u are right it hurts a lot when people changes fandom according to the popularity
light is here to support tvxq and every fandom of kpop
because our tvxq ,beast , shinee , ,superjunior , infinite taught us that views doesnt matter but the love and support we show for them matter there were no fanwars and competition like now but every fandom used to support other fandoms they know how to enjoy music but now views are first prority and which fandom is more stronger
every fandom loves their idols and some bullies us saying we are from a small fandom they do not know that kpop exist because of the old kpop artists and now exo ,bts and other fandoms should know their idols are inspired from their sunbaes
i dont mean to tell all exol and armys but there are some who bullies us saying we are from a small fandom we love exo and bts too because they had made kpop worldwide but old kpop artist has also worked very hard to make what kpop is today but its sad that vocal and talent of a kpop artist nowadays is judged by the view and popularity they get according to some mean people
@izzrizqa
coming back here again after all that love, you have been saying what I want to say thank you for such a lovely comment
@aragmoocastatncenmotedprfa8763
I came back here every once in a week to heal myself.
Changmin, the one who gets me into kpop, and I'm still proud to be a fan of TVXQ and Changmin as I did in 10 years ago.
The man whom I love and adore dearly, forever and always
