NCT U Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
침대에 누워 두 귀를 막고
어제가 오늘 또 오늘이 어제
때늦은 자책만 가득한 채
We'll take it slow
Baby, baby we'll take it slow
Oh
익숙한 노래 마침내 연결돼
감싸주지 나를 hate is on me
반복되는 매일도 괜찮다고
깊은 어둠 위를 걸어
저 너머에 숨겨진 진짜를 봐
Open your eyes 조용히 open your eyes
(조용히 open your eyes)
Open your eyes 이제는 open your eyes
(이제는 open your eyes)
Open your eyes 조용히 open your eyes
(조용히 open your eyes)
Open your eyes 이제는 open your eyes
Yeah, yeah
버려지지 않는 미움과 나를 괴롭히는 꿈 (이 꿈)
저 시계는 나를 비웃듯 한 치 오차 없이 가 (oh yeah)
엉망진창 나도 날 모르겠어
어둡게 색칠 된 미래
허우적대 더 새까맣게 이 밤에 덧칠을 해
Ooh yeah
차가운 세상 두 눈을 감고
침대에 누워 두 귀를 막고
어제가 오늘 또 오늘이 어제
때늦은 자책만 가득한 채
We'll take it slow (we'll take it slow, take it slow)
Baby, baby we'll take it slow
Oh
같은 꿈 마치 날 부르는
익숙한 노래 (you do)
마침내 연결돼 (you want)
Uh 여전히 어딘가로
이름 모를 지역에 난 이름 모를 hall 로
몇 밤을 자도 편치 않은 어딘가에서도
결국 대부분 내 시간을 보내는 explorer
Uh and that's a long ass ride
정신없이 휘둘리다 결국 눈을 감지
꿈과 지금 사이를 또 한번 의심하고
난 또 확인할 게 있어 바로 지금 너와 같이 uh
Open your eyes 조용히 open your eyes
(조용히 open your eyes)
Open your eyes 이제는 open your eyes
(Open your eyes)
Open your eyes 조용히 open your eyes
(조용히 open your eyes)
Open your eyes 이제는 open your eyes
난해한 저 불규칙 속에 (속에)
깊이 가려져왔던 (가려진) story
눈을 뜨네 이 노랠 통해
읽혀 지는 너의 꿈 (꿈)
긴 잠에서 깨어난 (난)
내 일곱 번째의 감각
Oh 내 곁에 다가와 펼쳐진 밤
조금씩 가까워 지는 다른 꿈
이해가 돼 모두가 내 것처럼 다
Open your eyes
진짜를 봐 open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes (혼자가 아니야 난 I, I)
The song "일곱 번째 감각" by NCT U is a song about the struggle of the youth amidst the fast-paced and cold society. The lyrics first describe the singer closing off their eyes and ears, feeling guilty about what they should have done but did not do. However, it also encourages the listener to take it slow and open their eyes to the world beyond. The song emphasizes the message that it is time to drop the hate and embrace the journey towards the "real" world. The "seven senses" mentioned in the title refer to the different ways people perceive the world. The song is designed to make the listener open their eyes and see beyond the present.
One notable interpretation of the song is that the seven senses represent the seven chakras found in Hinduism, as it promotes openness and balance towards oneself and the world. The lyrics may also come off confusing or hard to understand, but this is intentional as it forces the listeners to unpack the complex emotions they harbor within. The chorus encourages people to look beyond the darkness and see the truth that lies beyond.

차가운 세상 두 눈을 감고
Closing my eyes to this cold world
침대에 누워 두 귀를 막고

Looking at the truth hidden beyond

Ultimately, I spend most of my time exploring
Uh and that's a long ass ride
Uh, and that's a long ride
정신없이 휘둘리다 결국 눈을 감지

Your dream being read (dream)
긴 잠에서 깨어난 (난)
Just awakened from a long sleep (me)
내 일곱 번째의 감각
My seventh sense
Oh 내 곁에 다가와 펼쳐진 밤
Oh, a night unfolds, coming closer to me
조금씩 가까워 지는 다른 꿈
Another dream that is gradually getting closer
이해가 돼 모두가 내 것처럼 다
I understand, as if everything is mine
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
진짜를 봐 open your eyes
Look at the truth, open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes (혼자가 아니야 난 I, I)
Open your eyes (I'm not alone, I, I)
