Overall Meaning

The lyrics of TVXQ!'s "Rising Sun" convey a sense of profound emotion and yearning for something beyond oneself. The opening lines state, "Now, I cry under my skin...With tears that have soaked the sky," which suggest an overwhelming sadness that is felt internally. The chorus of "I'm waiting for the Rising Sun...," and "now, burn my eyes. Sun comes up, blowing the fog," make it clear that the singer is waiting for a new beginning, a new day to come. The song is about searching for hope and meaning after experiencing hardship.


Furthermore, the use of "Innocent" and "Rising Sun" in the lyrics refers to the innocence of youth and the potential for a brighter future. The verses also contain lines about not giving up and pushing through the pain, as with, "Got to be a true," and "never lies, to be your mind." Such declarations of strength and perseverance add to the emotional intensity of the song.

Many of them saying Mirotic is the iconic song of TVXQ! but actually not..
Rising Sun is the one strikes the whole kpop industry and all awards winning! bringing SME to a next level! Mirotic is just kinda one of their legendary and last title track with 5 members.
when there's so many hoobaes covering Mirotic, why dont they try covering Rising Sun, this is so much more challenging tbh..the vocals the choreograph the flows..the iconic SME style of joining three parts of music is so amazing!! wish SME bring this style & quality back!

@missathirahmunirahzainol9297

Moonbyul (MAMAMOO) covers this song. That's why I'm here. I've heard this song during my secondary school. Just now, I saw the mindblowing lyrics and the explanation of this song. Such a deep with meaningful lyrics and the high note cleared all the problem I'm facing rn lol.
