MEMORY
IZ*ONE Lyrics

The lyrics of IZ*ONE's "Memory" talk about the memories of the past and the dreams for the future. The first verse describes a diary full of dreams, with nights spent thinking about memories that were once earnest and childish. The singer wonders whether, back then, they smiled like a child and if they might have even cried in moments of difficulty during the pursuit of their dreams. But every time they were met with skeptical glances, they imagined a far-off future, which gave them the strength to pursue their dreams. They believe that those hard times will disappear, and they will become a bright light, singing a harmony that is dedicated to their dreams. The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the singer reflecting on the past glancing over their childish dreams, with memories that they hold dear.

The chorus stresses the importance of the memories they cherish and the hopes and dreams they prayed for. Despite the pain and the long periods of waiting, the singer knows that even when they get tired, it’s the faint starlight that gives them the courage and motivation to keep going forward, for they believe someday the light will become brighter, and they will achieve their dream.

In conclusion, the song is about memories and dreams, and the need to hold onto them, to pursue them with everything one has, even when it hurts, for they are what gives one hope, makes one’s dreams worthwhile and propels one forward.
