The Dawn
D-Mize Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo 세상과의 단절 집을 떠난 후엔 감정
소모하는 게 싫어진 19살 나의 관점에서 봤을 때 연습생 생활은
거의 만점 덕분에 생긴 대인기피증
인간관계는 빵점
항상 준비 해놓지 두 개의 가면
방어적인 모습 뒤 본 모습을 숨겨 가며
철저히 나를 숨겨
죄인이 된 듯 마냥

감옥 같던 숙소 밖을 단 한 발짝도 못나갔네
멀어져 가네
주위의 친구 가족 그게 뭐든지 간에
머물지 못하고 내 곁을 스쳐 지나가
인간관계란 과녁에 화살은 아직 빗나가

외롭지 않은 척 괴롭지 않은 척
괜히 괜찮은 척
괜시리 열심히 강한 척 하며 내 앞에 놓아 버린 벽 들어오지마
난 이 넓은 바다의 섬 날 버리지마

Aye, aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye, aye

Overall Meaning

In the first paragraph, D-Mize reflects on his feelings of disconnection from the world after leaving home. He explains that at the age of 19, he no longer wants to waste his emotions and views his life as a trainee as a result of his high scores, which led to a fear of interpersonal relationships. He feels like he constantly has to wear two masks, hiding his true self behind a defensive facade and thoroughly concealing who he truly is. He compares his living situation to a prison where he feels trapped and unable to leave even for a single step. As a result, he feels distant and isolated from those around him, including friends and family, as they pass by without really staying by his side. He further expresses his frustration that his attempts at building human connections seem to constantly miss the mark.

In the second paragraph, D-Mize reveals his desire to appear not lonely and not in distress, pretending to be okay when he's not. He emphasizes that he puts up a strong front and tells others not to enter the walls he has built around himself. He pleads for them not to abandon him in this vast sea. The repetition of "Aye, aye, aye, aye" could signify his plea for understanding, asking others to acknowledge his struggles and not judge him based on appearances. It represents his plea to not be left alone and to have someone truly see him beyond his tough exterior.

Overall, this verse delves into D-Mize's feelings of loneliness, disconnection, and the struggle to maintain a strong image despite his inner turmoil. He yearns for genuine human connection and longs for someone to see through his facade and truly understand him. The repetition in the second paragraph serves as a desperate plea for compassion and acceptance, begging others not to leave him behind in his struggles.
