Parannoul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
새벽에 눈이 떠지면
창문을 제일 먼저 바라봐
모두가 잠든 시간에도 북극성은 멀리 서있어
상상력을 키워봐
불가능이라는 건 없어
내일 밤이 되면 나는
북극성에서 널 바라볼 거야
소원을 빌고 받아들여
비웃음은 나의 원동력
부정할 수가 없었는걸
나의 꿈, 나의 몸, 나의 삶
반짝이다 떨어져라
불타올라, 더 크고 밝게
어른이 되면 달이 될거야
너무 밝지도 어둡지도 않아
나는 마법에 걸린 채
꿈을 걸어가네
나는 마법에 걸린 채
앞으로 나아가
소원을 빌고 받아들여
비웃음은 나의 원동력
그래도 아직 빛나는걸
나의 꿈, 나의 몸, 나의 삶
The lyrics of Parannoul's song "Polaris" speak about the power of imagination and the ability to dream big, even when faced with challenges and doubts. The song begins by describing the moment of waking up in the early morning and being drawn to look out of the window. Even during a time when everyone else is asleep, the North Star (Polaris) remains distant and steadfast. The singer mentions having a conversation that only they can hear, possibly symbolizing the solace and inspiration they find in their own thoughts.
The chorus encourages the listener to cultivate their imagination and dismiss the notion of impossibility. The singer expresses their determination to look for the listener from Polaris when night falls, suggesting that they will go to great lengths to support and believe in them. The lyrics also touch upon the importance of embracing one's wishes and accepting mockery as a driving force. The singer acknowledges that they cannot deny the impact of doubt and negativity, but their dreams, body, and life continue to shine.
Overall, "Polaris" can be seen as an anthem for embracing one's dreams and aspirations, despite the obstacles in one's path. It encourages the listener to nurture their imagination, draw strength from their desires, and persevere through doubt and skepticism.

Found this in an article by Paste Magazine talking about "The Emergence of Hyper Rock" (whatever that means)
@robertedwards9961
Love how it meanders along in melodic mode then switches into beautiful noise.
@beepst
This is the power of a really good melodic song, It can make you feel deep emotions without understanding the lyrics.
