Horizon

Jaehyun's song 'Horizon' from NCT is a poetic exploration of self-discovery and the pursuit of new experiences. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey, both literal and metaphorical, where the protagonist is navigating through uncertainties and seeking clarity. The 'grey clouds' and 'blurred expressions' symbolize the confusion and ambiguity that often accompany the quest for meaning and purpose. Standing on the lane with 'luggage full of names' suggests carrying the weight of past experiences and identities while moving forward.

The recurring theme of 'rising altitude' and 'increasing saturation' signifies growth and the intensification of experiences. The 'monotone sunglasses' represent a limited perspective that is gradually lifted, revealing a vibrant and dazzling view. This transformation is described as 'out of the blue,' indicating sudden and unexpected moments of clarity and enlightenment. The 'lights' that shine brightly symbolize hope and new possibilities, encouraging the listener to keep moving forward despite the challenges.

The phrase 'end of this surface' is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea of breaking through superficial layers to reach deeper understanding and fulfillment. The 'pastel-colored groove' and 'floating' imagery evoke a sense of freedom and lightness, suggesting that true happiness comes from embracing one's desires and passions. The song's message is clear: to keep pursuing what you love and to find joy in the journey, especially when shared with someone special. The 'rendezvous' mentioned towards the end signifies a meaningful connection and shared experiences that make the journey worthwhile.
