아테나
DBSK/동방신기 Lyrics

The lyrics to DBSK/동방신기's song "아테나" (Athena) describe a sense of fear and being trapped in a gray atmosphere. The singer admits to having a bitter smile as they are surrounded by lingering hopes that have yet to be fulfilled. They feel lost, wandering through past memories that don't fit together like a puzzle. The chorus expresses the need for someone to embrace them coldly because they have to stand up against the world. They question if they will see the end when they reach a certain point, and how their deeply embedded wounds won't heal. They plead to God for salvation in the final battle. The second verse highlights the need for that special someone, who is capable of making a difference in the dark city covered in tears. They desire for the blind and greedy, who have lost their dreams, to spread their wings again with the help of that special person's power. The bridge speaks of the sun turning red, and the person praying for the hope they've longed for. Even if the light of truth is obscured, they urge to never stop waking up the fallen world. The conclusion emphasizes the need to passionately fight against falsehood, questioning where they will see the end, and how their deeply embedded wounds won't heal. They once again ask God for salvation in the final battle.
