정답을 모른 채
나를 막아선 많은 것들에
무뎌져야 해
Yo 누군가를 만나고
때론 멀어지곤 해
때로는 버겁고
또 막연한 듯해
써 내려 가 담담히 하루 하루 하루
지나는 사이 견뎌야 하는 많은 것들
지친 발 걸음을 적신
외로움은 말이 없네
그저 조용히
한 걸음씩 한 걸음씩 한 걸음씩
가까워진 가까워진 가까워진
나를 닮은 꿈에 비친 그곳으로
Can you feel not alone? Baby
변함없이 변함없이 변함없이
이어지길 이어지길 이어지길
함께 걷는 함께 걷는 이 길에선
We are never alone
매일 같은 꿈을 꿔
이유도 모른 채
눈이 부신 걸
난 따라가야 해
Oh 걸어가야 해 (숨 가빠도)
언젠가 기나긴 이 길을 지나
온 가슴이 떨리게 rebound
눈앞에 eh eh (eh eh)
모든 게 so I love it
까만 밤이
더 길어진 대도 두렵지 않아
내 꿈을 더 끌어안아
본 것 같아 간절한 모든 모든 모든
꿈들이 다 이뤄진 시간 속에 문득
마주친 너의 그 눈빛에
날 담아 떠오르던 지난 시간이
한 걸음씩 한 걸음씩 한 걸음씩
가까워진 가까워진 가까워진
나를 닮은 꿈에 비친 그곳으로
Can you feel not alone? Baby

We are never alone
눈을 감아 맘을 담아
너를 부르면
곧 느껴지는 걸 ooh
So just
한 걸음씩 한 걸음씩 한 걸음씩
가까워진 가까워진 가까워진
나를 닮은 꿈에 비친 그곳으로
Can you feel not alone? Baby
변함없이 변함없이 변함없이

We are never alone
NCT 127's Not Alone speaks about the importance of being oneself and staying true to one's dreams and desires, even when faced with uncertainty and doubt. The song encourages listeners to persevere and take small steps towards achieving their goals, knowing that they are not alone on their journey. The lyrics suggest that despite feeling lost or overwhelmed at times, there is always hope and support to be found, whether it comes from within oneself or from the people around them. The repeated phrase "한 걸음씩" emphasizes the importance of taking things one step at a time, even when progress may seem slow or difficult.
The song's chorus, "Can you feel not alone? Baby / We are never alone," reinforces the message of unity and community, reminding us that we are all connected and capable of supporting each other. The lyrics also reference the importance of dreams and how they can provide comfort and motivation during difficult times. The line "내 꿈을 더 끌어안아" (I hold onto my dreams even tighter) suggests that holding onto our dreams can give us the strength to continue on despite life's challenges.

Lyrics
Everyday I dream the same dream
As if I don’t know the answer.
Many things that block my way
I have to endure it all
When I meet someone, sometimes it becomes far
Sometimes it’s heavy, and it’s all vague
When I’m anxious
I’m writing it all calmly
Day by day
The moments that passed by, the things that I have to endure alone
My exhausted footsteps
Loneliness has no sound, it’s just there quietly
One step at a time
The place that resembles me that I saw in my dream will get closer
Can you feel not alone? Baby
Unchanging, it will continue
On this path that we walk together
We’re never alone
I dream the same dream everyday
Without knowing the reason I gotta follow that dazzling light
I have to keep walking even if
I’m out of breath
When I pass this road, the rebound that makes my heart beats Its in front of me eh eh
Everything, so I love it
Even if this dark night gets longer,
I’m not afraid
Because I will hold my dream even tighter...
I think I can see every earnest dream
Everything will come true Inside this time, your gaze holds me inside it and I remember the time that passed
One step at a time
The place that resembles me that I saw in my dream will get closer
Can you feel not alone? Baby Unchanging, it will continue
On this path that we walk together
We’re never alone
Close your eyes, hold your heart
If I call you, you’ll feel it soon so just
One step at a time
The place that resembles me that I saw in my dream will get closer
Can you feel not alone? Baby
Unchanging, it will continue On this path that we walk together We’re never alone...

I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW NCT SAVED MY LIFE FOR ONCE, SO HERE.
-19.04.24 the day i found my saviours
- i was alone, people left me because i had a toxic bestfriend and i was turning into a person like her.
-i was in a hard situation, i had no one.
i suddenly heard about an album called “awaken”.
-i listened to it all day, and got more into this group.
-then i started listening to the other units, (dream, u, wayv)
-i fell in love.
-20.02.17 the day they found me again
- around that time me and my (new) bestfriend fought a lot due me being too “depressing”
- we broke our friendship.
- i found nct again. i did listen to all comebacks but i got into other groups at that time.
20.03.30 the day everything was hard
- i felt so left alone.
- a few days later i got informed that i wasn’t invited to one of my good friends birthday speacial.
- i felt so left out, unloved.
- then, i started listening to ‘fireflies’ by nct dream more.
now, i’m feelin a lot better. thanks to nct.
these boys have made me so happy, and i want to make them happy too.

This song really hits differently when you're depressed. When you're feeling alone and worthless, this song is a good song that can comfort you like you're loved and not alone.
