We’ve all contributed to song and lyric writing, and Beomgyu even co-produced the track. And this song is about our own experiences as trainees. It’s very honest and sincere.“ – Choi Yeonjun

“I had been under a lot of pressure to do well because I joined the company later than the other members did. What I felt then was, as I was practicing singing and dancing, I started to see somebody else from my own reflection in the mirror. It didn’t seem like the "me” I used to know. I felt like I was trapped in a maze. That’s how “Maze in the Mirror” came to be.“ – Choi Beomgyu

“When we were trainees, we were all anxious and worried about our debut and we put these complex emotions into a song. The song was first written by Beomgyu, and we all added our thoughts to the lyrics and melody parts and combined the best of everything. We really enjoyed working on it and we hope our fans will as well.” – Choi Soobin

Maze in the Mirror
TOMORROW X TOGETHER Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

끝은 어딜까 달려 보지만
In the mirror 속의 미로
보호란 통제가 날 가두고
아파도 더는 투정 부리면 안 돼
나를 꼭 감춰둔 세상, 세상
Please don't give up on me

We'll be going up 넘어지지 마

In the mirror 속 네 위로
커다란 틀에 날 맞추기엔
여전히 작고 작은 것만 같은데
나를 좀 찾아줘 제발, 제발

거울 앞에서 난 또 굴복해
여긴 너무 컴컴해
여리기만 한 내 어깬
숨지도 펴지도 못해

미로 속 끝에 미로 속 끝에
거울 저 편에 저기 저 편에
나를 찾아줘 제발, 제발
Please don't give up on me

No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
여리기만 한 내 어깰
기대어 쉴 수가 있게
쉴 수 있게

No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
나를 찾아줘 제발, 제발

빛을 따라 난 손을 뻗지만

In the mirror 속 날 밀어
깨지고 나뉜 그 형체 속에
나조차 진짜 날 찾을 수 없게 해
나를 좀 찾아줘 제발, 제발

거울 앞에서 난 또 굴복해
여긴 너무 컴컴해
여리기만 한 내 어깬
숨지도 펴지도 못해

미로 속 끝에 미로 속 끝에
거울 저 편에 저기 저 편에
나를 찾아줘 제발, 제발

이젠 날고 싶어
영원을 나는 피터팬처럼 (fly fly fly)
별이 되고 싶어
처음 흘렸던 그 맑은 땀처럼

거울 앞에서 난 또 굴복해
여긴 너무 컴컴해
여리기만 한 내 어깬
숨지도 펴지도 못해

미로 속 끝에 미로 속 끝에
거울 저 편에 저기 저 편에
나를 찾아줘 제발 (제발), 제발 (제발)
Please don't give up on me

No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
여리기만 한 내 어깰
기대어 쉴 수가 있게
쉴 수 있게

No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
나를 찾아줘 제발, 제발

Line by Line Meaning

끝은 어딜까 달려 보지만
I'm running but I don't know where the end is

In the mirror 속의 미로
A maze inside the mirror

보호란 통제가 날 가두고
I'm trapped by the protection and control

아파도 더는 투정 부리면 안 돼
I can't complain even if it hurts

나를 꼭 감춰둔 세상, 세상
A world that has hidden me, me

Please don't give up on me
Please don't abandon me

We'll be going up 넘어지지 마
We will go up, don't fall down

In the mirror 속 네 위로
To your reflection in the mirror

커다란 틀에 날 맞추기엔
I'm too small to fit in the big frame

여전히 작고 작은 것만 같은데
I still feel small and insignificant

나를 좀 찾아줘 제발, 제발
Please find me, please

거울 앞에서 난 또 굴복해
I'm bowing down in front of the mirror again

여긴 너무 컴컴해
It's too dark here

여리기만 한 내 어깬
My weak shoulders

숨지도 펴지도 못해
I can't even breathe or straighten up

미로 속 끝에 미로 속 끝에
At the end of the maze, at the end of the maze

거울 저 편에 저기 저 편에
On the other side of the mirror, over there

No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh

기대어 쉴 수가 있게
So I can lean and rest

나를 찾아줘 제발, 제발
Please find me, please

빛을 따라 난 손을 뻗지만
I reach out my hand following the light

In the mirror 속 날 밀어
Pushing me back in the mirror

깨지고 나뉜 그 형체 속에
Inside the shattered and split shape

나조차 진짜 날 찾을 수 없게 해
I can't even find the real me

이젠 날고 싶어
I want to fly now

영원을 나는 피터팬처럼 (fly fly fly)
Like Peter Pan, flying forever (fly fly fly)

별이 되고 싶어
I want to become a star

처음 흘렸던 그 맑은 땀처럼
Like the pure sweat that flowed from me at first
