Just Breath

Jinjin & Rocky of ASTRO deliver a powerful message in their song 'Just Breath,' capturing the essence of modern life's pressures and the yearning for freedom. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the daily grind, with references to the relentless cycle of work and the longing for a break. The opening lines, '눈 뜨자마자 아침 배달 (배달) / 몇 달째 출근 riding 금메달 (메달),' highlight the repetitive nature of their routine, likening it to a never-ending race for a gold medal. This metaphor underscores the constant pressure to perform and succeed, a sentiment many can relate to in today's fast-paced society.

The chorus, '숨 좀 쉬자 어젯밤에 또 벽 보고 혼자 talk / 숨 좀 쉬자 거울 보며 또 나 홀로 dance time,' reveals a deeper emotional struggle. The act of talking to the wall and dancing alone in front of a mirror symbolizes isolation and the desperate need for a release. This imagery resonates with the feelings of loneliness and the desire for connection, especially in a world where social interactions are often limited by various constraints.

The song also touches on the importance of camaraderie and support, as seen in the lines, '힘들겠지만 우리 함께라면 / 어떤 시련도 이겨낼 거야.' Here, Jinjin & Rocky emphasize that despite the challenges, having friends and loved ones by your side can help overcome any adversity. The repeated call to 'Let’s breath' serves as a reminder to take a moment to pause, relax, and find joy in the little things, even amidst the chaos. The song's hopeful tone encourages listeners to cherish their relationships and find strength in unity, making 'Just Breath' a relatable anthem for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's demands.
