Moments
Thama Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes we get hopeless
And sometimes we don′t care

어젯밤의 꿈을 기억 못 하는 것처럼
Selfish is what we could have been
익숙함에 잊은 그 순간들

Sunrise 노을과 바람

서로 가까이서 스치는 향기
잘 봐 오늘보다는
어제를 닮은 눈부신 내일
Oh, so bright, so bright

엎질러진 물 아직까지도
무기력한 모습으로 너와 나
서로 마주 보며 상처들을 뱉어
나를 보며 아이처럼 웃던 너
That all it could matter at this time
사라지는 우리 I'm praying for you
Uh-oh-oh

Sunrise 노을과 바람
서로 가까이서 스치는 향기
봐 오늘보다는

어제를 닮은 눈부신 내일
Oh-oh-oh-woo-woo, hmm

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Thama's song "Moments" reflect on moments of hopelessness and indifference that we all experience at times. The opening lines "Sometimes we get hopeless, and sometimes we don't care" suggest a range of emotions and states of mind that we go through in life.

The following lines in Korean, "어젯밤의 꿈을 기억 못 하는 것처럼 Selfish is what we could have been 익숙함에 잊은 그 순간들" can be interpreted as a reflection on missed opportunities or moments that we have forgotten due to familiarity and selfishness. The lyrics express a desire to break free from these limitations and embrace the potential of the present moment.

The chorus, "Sunrise 노을과 바람 서로 가까이서 스치는 향기 잘 봐 오늘보다는 어제를 닮은 눈부신 내일" evokes vivid imagery of a sunrise, the mingling of scents, and the anticipation of a bright and beautiful tomorrow that resembles the past. It suggests the importance of appreciating the present moment and finding hope in the memories of the past.

The bridge of the song reflects on a moment of vulnerability and healing between two individuals. The lyrics describe a scene where both the singer and the person they are addressing are in a state of emotional breakdown, but find solace in each other's presence. This momentary connection and shared laughter are portrayed as a meaningful and precious experience.

Overall, "Moments" captures the complexities of human emotions and the significance of cherishing the present and past experiences.
