Turbulence (야간비행)

ATEEZ's song 'Turbulence' (also known as '야간비행' which translates to 'Night Flight') delves into the emotional turbulence and uncertainties faced during youth. The lyrics express the feelings of being lost and directionless, akin to a wanderer without a destination. The metaphor of a 'waterfall' and 'free fall' suggests a sense of losing control and the fear of the unknown as one plunges into adulthood. The repeated questions about where they are headed and what they should become reflect the existential angst and the pressure to find one's identity and purpose.

The song also touches on the struggles of growing up, symbolized by the 'dark night sky' and 'rough winds.' These elements represent the challenges and hardships that one must navigate. The plea for someone to listen and simply offer a hug highlights the need for support and understanding during these trying times. Despite the hardships, there is a glimmer of hope as the lyrics mention following a light in the darkness, suggesting that one can find their way by pursuing their dreams and passions.

Towards the end of the song, there is a shift in tone as it moves from questioning to affirming. The lyrics encourage embracing oneself as they are 'right now,' indicating self-acceptance and the realization that it's okay not to have all the answers. The warmth and comfort sought in the 'cold night' and 'rough fight' suggest a yearning for peace and reassurance amidst life's challenges. ATEEZ's 'Turbulence' ultimately conveys a message of resilience and hope, encouraging listeners to shine like stars and find their own path, even through the darkest nights.
