Praying (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I close my eyes
It falls without fail
Clearly, mmm
Above the long empty space
Falling endlessly and breaking down
My figure, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
As if swallowed by a big wave
When my heart is fading away in the darkness
It’s always (Ooh)
That hand that wakes me up, I guess
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, oh-woah
At the end of my hardened fingers
On my reddened cheeks
I’m feeling the air
In my shrunken heart
The hidden wings
Spread
My breath scatters in the wind
Move freely as if dancing
Fly again, toward that sun
A new way that will finally begin
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
New way
[Verse 2]
At the edge of the cliff
Always dangerous
The light that shines brightly on me, yeah (Bi-chui light)
Yeah, I know it was you (It was you)
[Pre-Chorus]
Touched affectionately
In the warmth of the caress
No longer afraid of the night
Opening my blindfolded eyes and facing the world
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, oh-woah
At the end of my frozen fingers
On my reddened cheeks
I’m feeling the air
In my shrunken heart
The hidden wings
Spread
My breath rising above the wind
Move freely as if dancing
Fly again, so dazzlingly
My way will finally begin
[Outro]
I’m feeling the air
I’m feeling the air (Fly again)
I’m feeling the air (Oh, fly again)
I’m feeling you, babe
Praying Meaning
[Verse 1]
SEULGI introduces the song with a deeply introspective moment, describing a recurring sense of being overwhelmed by something inescapable. The imagery of “긴 허공 위로 끝없이 추락하며 부서져버린 내 모습” (endlessly falling through the void and shattering) conveys a feeling of helplessness and emotional turmoil. She finds herself trapped in a cycle of pain, struggling against forces that seem too strong to resist.
[Pre-Chorus]
As SEULGI faces emotional darkness, she likens it to being swallowed by an immense wave. Just as she feels herself fading, something awakens her—a presence or force that feels like a comforting touch. This moment signifies the turning point where hope begins to emerge, hinting at the idea that even in despair, there is a guiding light that urges her to keep going.
[Chorus]
The chorus is an explosion of renewal and liberation. SEULGI describes a physical and emotional awakening, where she feels “움츠러든 맘에 숨어있던 날개 펼쳐내” (unfolding the hidden wings of her timid heart). The wind, dance-like movements, and flying imagery symbolize breaking free from constraints and embracing freedom. The phrase “비로소 시작될 new way” (finally, a new way begins) reinforces the theme of transformation, as she steps into a brighter, more confident version of herself.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus subtly extends the theme of new beginnings with the repetition of “New way.” This moment serves as a breath of fresh air, allowing the listener to absorb the feeling of release and empowerment before diving deeper into SEULGI’s journey.
[Verse 2]
SEULGI recalls standing on the edge of uncertainty, feeling vulnerable and unstable. However, instead of remaining lost, she finds light—”날 환히 비추는 light” (a light that brightly illuminates me). The realization that she is not alone fuels her strength, marking a moment of clarity where she acknowledges the force guiding her forward.
[Pre-Chorus]
This section mirrors the earlier pre-chorus but now carries a deeper sense of comfort and reassurance. SEULGI describes being gently embraced by warmth, a stark contrast to the overwhelming darkness she previously faced. The phrase “더 이상 두렵지 않은 밤” (a night that is no longer fearful) indicates that she has conquered her fears and is ready to embrace the world with open eyes.
[Chorus]
The second chorus expands upon the previous one, reinforcing the uplifting message of self-liberation. SEULGI once again unfolds her wings, but this time, the movement is even more radiant—”아주 눈부시게” (so brilliantly). The shift from “new way” to “my way” highlights a personal evolution; she is no longer just stepping into a new path, but fully embracing it as her own.
[Outro]
The outro serves as a final moment of reflection and triumph. SEULGI repeats “I’m feeling the air”, symbolizing how she has fully embraced freedom and transformation. The closing line, “I’m feeling you, babe,” can be interpreted as a reference to the guiding force that led her out of the darkness, whether it be an internal realization, a supportive presence, or faith. This marks the completion of her journey from struggle to strength, closing the song with a sense of peace and empowerment.
