잠시 멈춰 주윌 한번 둘러보다
[온유] 혼자라는 기분에 힘이 들 땐
그땐 나를 따라해 나를 나를 따라해, eh
[태민] 또 혼자서 잠에 들다
[민호] 애써 꾸벅꾸벅 지친 눈을 감다
자꾸 많은많은 생각에 잠 못들 땐
*[All] A-yo, 힘이 들 땐
둥타닥 rhythm에 기대어, oh
널 향한 우리의 노래로, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo
A-yo, 잠 못들 땐
툭 털어 rhythm에 맡기고, oh
펼쳘질 내일에 기대로, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo*
[태민] IQ는 두자리
시험 점수도 두자리
전교 석차는 세자리
도대체, why, why
하루 온종일
돌아오는 건 잔소리
오늘도 책상 앞에선
뭘한거니, why, why
[종현] 숨가쁜 하루에
쉴 곳 하나 없어도, oh, oh
절대 약해지지마, ah, ah
No way, no way
[온유] 서러운 맘
알아줄이 없어도, oh, oh

널 향한 우리의 노래로, oh
모두 a-yo, 모두 a-yo
믿었던 사람아
내 모든걸 바쳐 잘했건만
계절바뀌듯 변해버린 니
사랑은 bye, goodbye
[민호] 시간이 없단 말
매일같이 참아준 거짓말
[태민] 모르는척 돌아와줄거라
믿었지 그땐 그땐
[온유] 가끔씩 눈물이
두눈앞을 가려도, oh, oh
절대 약해지지마, ah, ah
No way, no way

The lyrics to SHINee's song A-Yo describe the struggles of feeling overwhelmed and alone. The members sing about walking alone and feeling tired, struggling to fall asleep, and constantly having too many thoughts in their heads. However, they encourage themselves and their listeners to rely on music as a source of comfort and strength. The "A-yo" repeated in the chorus is a call to action, a reminder to keep going and keep dancing. The song ends with a call to bring everyone's sadness and pain together and continue moving forward with the support of each other.
The lyrics of A-Yo seem to be a message of comfort and strength to those who feel overwhelmed, lonely, or stuck in their own thoughts. The song urges the listener to keep moving forward, rely on the power of music, and find strength in community. The repetition of the phrase "na-reul ta-ra-hae" (follow me) throughout the song creates a sense of camaraderie, as the members of the group encourage each other and the listener to keep going together.
Overall, A-Yo highlights the importance of perseverance, relying on music, and finding support in others to overcome struggles and hard times.

Bring it side to side, your sad tears
Side to side, 네 아픔 모두

Has a song ever sounded so nostalgic? This has aged so well, I love the positive message of it
@fifi7367
It is for me literally. Cause i played this religiously when i was in 2nd grade middle school in 2012 😂 this song immediately brings me back to that time.
@daisyfinley3434
@Fifi for me it was when I was 14 at secondary school!
