Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
볼 수 없었던
그 모든 감정들이 다 yeah
Turn the light on
환하게 밝혀져
너를 향한 맘을
다 부서질 듯 안아줘
뭔가 다른 공기에 또
두 눈을 급히 돌려
이 방을 나가 빨리 woo
(언제부턴가)
남보다 못한 우리 사이
견디기 힘든 하루가
(점점 흘러가)
어쩌다 이렇게 되어버렸는지 몰라
Turn the light on
볼 수 없었던
그 모든 감정들이 다 yeah
Turn the light on
환하게 밝혀져
너를 향한 맘을
다 부서질 듯 안아줘
그저 손을 내밀어 줘
아님 내 손을 뿌리치지는 말아줘
달콤한 말도
들리진 않겠지
이미 어두운 네 마음
(언제부턴가)
남보다 못한 우리 사이
견디기 힘든 하루가
(점점 흘러가)
어쩌다 이렇게 되어버렸는지 몰라
Turn the light on
볼 수 없었던
그 모든 감정들이 다 yeah
Turn the light on
환하게 밝혀져
너를 향한 맘을
다 부서질 듯 안아줘
고요한 듯 흘러가는 사랑이란 게
이렇게 어려울 줄 몰랐어
서로에게 반복되는 어둠 속에서
이제는 불을 켜 줬으면
Hoody's song "The Light" explores the idea of shining a light on hidden emotions and facing them head-on. In the first verse, she talks about how turning on the light reveals all the emotions she couldn't see before. The brightness of the light represents the intensity of the emotions, and how overwhelming they feel.
The second verse talks about how the singer feels lost and scared in unfamiliar territory. She wants to leave but doesn't know how to, which reflects the confusion and uncertainty that come with facing difficult emotions. She pleads with someone to reach out to her, to hold her, to reassure her. But she also acknowledges that words may not be enough to heal the hurt she feels inside.
The chorus repeats the idea of turning on the light, asking for help to face what is difficult to see. The sadness and pain that are hiding in the darkness of the mind are acknowledged and confronted with the hope that being vulnerable will ultimately bring healing.
Overall, the message of the song is about not being afraid to face the truth of one’s emotions and seeking help when necessary. The light metaphor illustrates the idea that, while it might be difficult to confront the truth, it is ultimately better to do so than to keep hiding it away in the darkness.
