Spotlight
Xydo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

아직은 멀어 손닿지 않아도
지평선 너머 보이지 않아도
난 알 수 있어
나 가야 할 곳

Makin′ my own way
I'm just tryna find my way
You know the ten thousand
Stars up in the sky?
Yeah I was aiming to be one of them
닿을 수 없었던 찾을 수 없었던 내 모습에

Oh look up and see those lights
늘 바라왔던 순간 Not too far
어두웠던 이길의 끝에 나
이제서야 나를 비추네 Spotlight

아직도 모르겠어 난
매번 똑같은 paranoid
길을 잃어 방황했었던 나
언제나 의심했던 my life
But I couldn′t give up
Refused to give up all night
Knowin' it will be alright
Even with all of the stars in the sky
Try as I might couldn't be one of them
너무 헤매었던 믿을 수 없었던 내 눈앞에

Oh look up and see those lights
늘 바라왔던 순간 Not too far
어두웠던 이길의 끝에 나
이제서야 나를 비추네 Spotlight

I can′t believe it 나에게 비친
수많은 불빛들이 더 커져만 가
Was a nobody, had nothing
But realized I′m stronger than before
Shine on

Oh look up and see those lights
늘 바라왔던 순간 Not too far
어두웠던 이길의 끝에 나
이제서야 나를 비추네 Spotlight

No need to hide me anymore
I don't gotta prove
Nothing to you, you know
Wired now to stand up for my dreams




Here and now, it′s my turn in the light
Spotlight

@musicfly_

The MV right on spot.
It expresses the title as it is.
Just Xydo on the Spotlight.
Simple yet aesthetic on its own way.
The music vibe is chill yet addictive to listen.
The lyrics is inspiring.
Xydo's voice is so nice to the ear.

Great 1st Music Video for Xydo 👏

@soultree7700

Xydo's voice is 😍😍😍. And his side profile is seriously no joke.

@kameronhamilton7403

He’s doing a good thing for humanity. Maybe if everyone listened to his voice they’d shut up and love each other.

@vone2u

His singing voice is soft and pretty, it's a beautiful quality. The song is great, it's subtle yet relaxing

@dehearted

Xydo is a real jem. Thanks Groovl1n for bringing him to us!

@user-kw3jy1fo1m

음색 멜로디 분위기 미쳤어,,,,, 시도 얼른 유명해지자😍

@andreazamora5326

The song is really beautiful, but his voice is on another level, one of the most unique and beautiful voices i've ever heard 🧡

@minhyukiesdolsoe

definitely 😉

@evvangeline8953

I love the fact that I was absolutely not ready for this but when I started the song I was like "I AM NOT FINE HOW CAN I HANDLE SUCH AN AMAZING VOICE/GUY/SONG/MV" and I love this song I find it really unique like I didn't hear anything like that before 💚💚💚
This is the type of song which you could use for anything (work,study,chill,etc) so I'm very happy and so thankful
Thank you Xydo and thank you dear CEO Wonsik for putting this guy and Cold Bay in the spotlight like they deserve it 🙏💚
Have a good day everyone 💚☀️

@iamsopure
