I'm Back
The ADE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
텅 빈 방엔 짙은 어둠만 가득하고
차가운 공기마저도
나를 반겨주질 않고
오늘처럼 유독 길었던
이런 날엔 그대 더욱 떠올라
따뜻한 표정 다정한 손길
다녀왔습니다 문을 열고 들어서면
날 맞아 주었던 날 기다려주던
그대 있는 그곳에 가면
다녀오겠습니다
문을 나서면 언제라도
날 배웅해주던 그대 있는 그 곳
그리운 그 곳 다시 돌아가고 싶어
작은 꿈을 이뤄보겠다
당연하게 그대 곁을 떠나왔는데
어두운 밤이면 그대 더욱 더 떠올라
다녀왔습니다 문 열고 들어설 때면
괜찮아진다고 날 응원해주던
그대 있는 그 곳에 가면
다녀오겠습니다
문을 나서면 언제든지
떠날 수 있다고 여겼었던 그곳
그리운 그 곳 다시 돌아가고 싶어
다녀왔습니다
이제 전해지지 않는 그 말
The lyrics to The ADE's song "I'm back" speak to the feeling of coming back to an empty room after a long day, where the darkness is overwhelming and even the cold air doesn't offer any comfort.

They recall the days when this person's comforting presence would put their heart at ease.
The singer promises to return to the place where this person is, the place where they are wanted and awaited. They declare that they will achieve their small dreams, but they long to be near the person they love. Even in the darkest of nights, the singer can only think of this person, and they express their desire to go back to the place where their love is safe and waiting for them.
