Coming Home
NCT U Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
우는 널 두고 돌아섰을 때
마지막 인사조차도
없었던 나에게
지칠 때면 돌아와 쉬라던 말
네 그 마음
눈이 오던 그 길로
돌아보면 너는 거기 있는 걸
여행이 끝날 때쯤
난 알게 될 거야
그때처럼 널 가슴에 가득 안고
I'm coming home
어둠이 날 반겨
길을 잃은 채 헤매고 있을 때
이 길의 끝에 만난 건
너라는 등불이
내 곁에서 언제나 빛나던 사실
You light of my life uh
눈이 오던 이 길로
한참을 왔어도
돌아보면 나를 향해 있는 너
내 시간이 다 해도 난
네 곁에 올 거야
습관처럼 따뜻했던 내 집으로
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
잘 왔다고 말해준 너의 그 말
Yeah yeah yeah
눈이 오던 그 길로
한참을 왔을 때
돌아보면 너는 거기 있는 걸
여행이 끝날 때쯤
난 알게 될 거야
그때처럼 가슴에 가득 안고 wow, wow
습관처럼 묻지도 않고 다시 곁으로
I'm coming home
Hoo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
The song 'Coming Home' by NCT U is about the journey of a person who has left their loved one behind and gone on a journey. They acknowledge that leaving without even saying goodbye was a terrible mistake, but when the going gets tough, they remember the person's words telling them to come back and rest when they feel exhausted. The singer mentions that they have been walking on a snowy path for a long time and when they turn around, they find their loved one still waiting there for them, much like a lighthouse guiding them home. They continue walking on this path, even though it seems like they are lost because they know that this person is waiting for them on the other end. The phrase 'you light of my life' is used to describe this person, and the singer promises to come back to them, even after their time is up.
The lyrics of this song are relatable to anyone who has ever left their loved ones behind for any reason. It is always difficult to leave the person you love behind, and it is even more difficult if you part ways on a sour note. But the hope of reuniting with them someday keeps us going, and that's the theme of this song. The snowy path is a metaphor for the uncertain journey of life, and the loved one waiting at the end is a symbol of hope and comfort.

Taeil. A beautiful human and a really good natural vocalist. It’s more mature and his voice would really fit these types of ballad songs especially if a collab happened with Chen. Their voices are almost alike. Moon Taeil, you are one amazing wise talented being. Plz remember that you are loved and never ignored.
Doyoung. How can a mere bunny sound so heavenly? Your voice is one of many angels out there, but its the most special out there. It really fits ur appearance as well. Your talent needs to be showered onto so many people. Your highnotes and all the cover songs u do really make me shed a tear.
Jaehyun. Uri Valentine’s Day boy. This angel has given us all of our Disney fantasies come to life with his voice. When us nctzens say that ur voice best fits for those Disney songs, we really mean it. Your tone has some unique masculine voice that is really eye catching. Please know that we see u as much more than just a visual.
Haechan. Ahhh my little pudu. My little sunshine. Our baby. My everything. You.....you are soooooo unique in everything. Your voice. Your dancing. Your whole existence is really just CUTE?! But you voice is on another level!!! I know dy and Tl have already been on masked singers, but honestly if u were there, I would spot u INSTANTLY. I really want you to know that u have everything from me. You literally have my heart. Donghyuck, when I say ur voice is the uniquest voice is kpop, I srsly mean it.
MY FOUR TALENTED AMAZING ANGELS AND MY BBY FINALLY DEBUTING IN NCT U. THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE AND AN AMAZING WAY TO ALMOST END 2019. This song has been repeated in my ears for the past 36 hrs.
NEVER STOP WHAT U GUYS R DOING💚 This song means so much to me and it hits differently to me. I really appreciate all the affection and moods you guys hve put into ur voices. This song is WONDERFUL 💚
Please don’t give up nctzens! They worked hard, gave us their all, and all we need to do is get the ratings up. Plz keep watching and helping~ 😔✌️
