The song emphasizes the importance of resilience and determination. Lines like '치이고 치면서 자랐지 틀렸단 말이 많아 / 다짐한 만큼 올라갈 땐 꼭 책임감이 따라 / 매 순간 되새기며 go up,' which mean 'I grew up being hit and hit again, with many saying I was wrong / As much as I vowed, responsibility follows when I rise / I remind myself every moment to go up,' showcase the band's acknowledgment of the hardships they faced and their commitment to rise above them.

This reflects a hopeful outlook, emphasizing that despite the uncontrollable nature of time, the journey continues with faith and forward momentum. The chorus, with its uplifting melody and empowering lyrics, encapsulates the essence of the song: spreading wings and soaring high, driven by the reason that keeps them going.
In the end, 'REASON' is a heartfelt ode to DREAMCATCHER's journey, their growth, and the unwavering support from their fans. It is a celebration of resilience, friendship, and the shared dreams that propel them forward.
