Dally (달리) (feat. Gray)

Hyolyn's song "Dally (feat. Gray)" delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who have tried their best to make things work but have ultimately realized that their efforts are in vain. The repeated phrase "Oh, you'd better stop" serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes, the best course of action is to let go, even when it hurts.

The song's narrative is filled with metaphors that highlight the growing distance between the couple. Hyolyn compares their relationship to "cold coffee" and a "dying candle," emphasizing the fading warmth and light that once characterized their bond. The line "맞지도 않는 옷을 억지로 입어줬던 거 알아" (I know you forced yourself to wear clothes that didn't fit) symbolizes the discomfort and forced efforts to maintain a facade of happiness. Despite their attempts, the couple finds themselves unable to bridge the gap, leading to the inevitable conclusion of going their separate ways.

Hyolyn's powerful vocals, combined with Gray's smooth rap, add depth to the song's emotional landscape. The lyrics reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance, acknowledging that both parties have done all they could. The repeated refrain "방법이 없어 달리 달리" (There's no way, run, run) underscores the futility of trying to salvage something that is beyond repair. The song ultimately conveys a message of self-preservation and the importance of moving on, even when it feels like there's no way back.
