The song’s name comes from the Russian (спу́тник) and means ‘satellite’ when it is referenced to space—Sputnik 1 was the first artificial Earth satellite, launched by the USSR in 1957. However, the word’s other meanings include ‘guide’ or 'fellow traveler.’
At the beginning of “Dear Sputnik,” TXT are lost, adrift in the frozen and empty space, until they find their ‘sputnik.’ Alongside their companion, they can heal their wounds and “fly through the night sky” together.
Dear Sputnik
TOMORROW X TOGETHER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
시작돼 다시 끝없이 텅 빈 날
Lonely
차디찬 대기 속 미친 외로움만
날 이끄는 나침반
저 유성우를 따라서
정처 없이 달려가
희미하게 빛나는
내 우주의 끝에서
긴 방황은 마침내
끝을 만나 끝을 만나
Oh my Sputnik
운명이여 찾아냈네 (넌 또 다른 나)
Call me destiny
Because I know 너도 나와 같은 걸
단 하나의 온기
얼어붙은 손이
마주 잡은 순간 다 녹아내려 (내려)
너는 나의 orbit
You're my one and only
밤하늘을 함께 fly with you
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
너와 손잡으면 (잡으면)
상처는 찬란한 흔적이 돼 (찬란한)
수없이 우주를 돌아
마침내 겹친 궤도야
기적같이 만난 거야 (oh yeah yeah)
Oh my Sputnik
운명이여 찾아냈네 (넌 또 다른 나)
Call me destiny
Because I know 너도 나와 같은 걸
단 하나의 온기
얼어붙은 손이
마주 잡은 순간 다 녹아내려 (내려)
너는 나의 orbit
You're my one and only
밤하늘을 함께 fly with you
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
무너진 세상에서
발견한 너라는 별
I need you, my love
녹슬지 않게 해줘
영원을 믿게 해줘
여정의 시작을 함께 해
외로움을 건너
창공을 날아서
별빛 속에 영원을 새길 거야
영원보다 멀리
끝이 없는 journey
우리의 여행은 계속될 거야
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)

Line by Line Meaning
Empty
Starting again, endlessly empty day
Lonely
Mad loneliness in the frigid atmosphere
The compass that leads me
Following that shooting star
Running with no destination
Hunting for answers, searching for closure
Faintly shining
At the edge of my universe
My long wandering eventually
Meets its end
Oh my Sputnik
Destiny, I found it (you're another me)
Call me destiny
Because I know you feel the same
The moment we hold hands
One warmth instantly melts my frozen hand
You're my orbit
You are my one and only
We'll fly through the night sky together
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
When we hold hands
Our wounds turn into brilliant scars
After countless orbits of space
Our paths finally cross, miraculously
Oh my Sputnik
Destiny, I found it (you're another me)
Call me destiny
Because I know you feel the same
The moment we hold hands
One warmth instantly melts my frozen hand
You're my orbit
You are my one and only
We'll fly through the night sky together
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
You're the star I found
In this destroyed world
I need you, my love
Don't rust away
Make me believe in forever
Join me on this journey's beginning
Overcoming loneliness
Flying into the sky
We'll carve forever into the starlight
Our journey has no end
Far beyond forever
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
We're gonna glow (with you, we fly)
Gotta go (don't stop, we ride)
