Nostalgia in Melody: Unpacking 10CM's 'Drawer'

10CM's song 'Drawer' beautifully captures the essence of nostalgia and the bittersweet passage of time. The lyrics, sung in Korean, evoke memories of childhood and the simplicity of past moments spent under the warm sun, playing without worries. The song uses the metaphor of an old drawer to represent a storage place for these cherished memories, suggesting that while we move forward in life, there are parts of our past that remain untouched and preserved, just as they were.

As the song progresses, it delves into the theme of growing up and the inevitable changes that come with it. Despite these changes, the core memories and the feelings associated with them remain constant. The drawer serves as a poignant reminder of the singer's youth, holding memories that sparkle as vividly as they did back then. This imagery of an old, worn-out drawer filled with vibrant memories contrasts the passage of time with the permanence of certain emotions and memories.

The emotional depth of the song is further enhanced by its reflective tone, which invites listeners to think about their own 'drawers' of memories. The lyrics suggest a longing to reconnect with those simpler times, yet there is an acceptance that one can never truly go back. Instead, these memories can be revisited and cherished, providing comfort and a sense of identity amidst life's changes. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt nostalgic or has struggled with the transition from childhood to adulthood, making it a universal reflection on growth and memory.
