Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kill me oh, oh, oh, oh
Neon, neon, neon, neon, neon, neon, neon, hoo
Oh 그래 넌 마치 날 알아 본 듯이 woo
(환하게 빛나지) woo 어두운 밤 별 같지 woo
(Neon) 어두울수록 (neon) 빛이나 baby
(Neon) 어두울수록 더 아름다운 걸
숨길 생각을 하지 말아줘
차가운 너의 눈빛 난 겁이 나
손에 잡히지 않는 너란 빛을 본 나 나 나
내 손 놓지 말아줘
아침이 오면 누굴 만나면 느껴 난
너 없는 세상의 색 지루해져
넌 조명 없이도 화려하게 더 빛나
넌 조명 없이도 누구보다 더 빛나 (hey)
오늘 보여줘 네 진짜 얼굴을 보여줘
She is a neon, neon, neon 빛을 내
카모마일 or 밀크티 뭘 원하니 말해 봐
뜨겁게 괜찮지? 너 긴장 좀 풀어 봐 oh
Neon, that's a point 형광색
Yeah 알지 너도 불 끄면
너 말곤 다 까맣게 변하네
숨길 생각을 하지 말아줘
차가운 너의 눈빛 난 겁이 나
Oh 잡히지 않는 너란 빛을 본 나
내 손 놓지 말아줘
아침이 오면 누굴 만나면 느껴 난
너 없는 세상의 색 지루해져
넌 조명 없이도 화려하게 더 빛나
넌 조명 없이도 누구보다 더 빛나
Eh 오늘 보여줘 네 진짜 얼굴을 보여줘
She is a neon, neon, neon 빛을 내
Hey, you, you 부족한 게 없는 걸
너만 옆에 두면 다 되는 걸
혼자서도 빛이 나는 걸
Da da da da da da
어둔 밤 나 홀로 두지마 (두지마)
어디든 너 혼자 가 (가) 가지마
너도 알잖아 (you know what I'm saying)a h
넌 조명 없이도 화려하게 빛나
조명 없이도 눈부시게 빛나고
오늘 보여줘 네 진짜 얼굴을 보여줘 (진짜 네 모습을 보여줘)
She is a neon, neon, neon 빛을 내

In Jonghyun's song "NEON," the lyrics talk about someone being compared to a neon light. The word "neon" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing its significance. The chorus starts by saying "Hey, you're my neon," implying that this person is like a shining light in the artist's life. They are described as shining brightly even without any spotlight, and the darker it gets, the more they shine. There is a sense of admiration and awe towards this person's ability to stand out and bring light in any situation.
The verse mentions the fear that arises when faced with this person's gaze, as if they possess a captivating and irresistible light. The artist doesn't want to hide or suppress their feelings and asks not to be let go because seeing this person's light has made them realize its beauty. Without them, the world feels dull and boring.

It took me a million years to lear that “neon” is actually the Korean word for “you” & that’s why he’s not pronouncing it like the English word. Neon is also the glowing element in neon signs that makes them shine. Just by one word he’s saying that you shine.
