Someday

The song 'Someday' by Mido And Falasol is a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of youth and the profound impact of love. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and realization, as the narrator looks back on their younger days with a newfound understanding. In their youth, they were unaware of the true value of their experiences and relationships. The repeated line, 'jeolm-eun nal-en jeolm-eum-eul moleugo,' which translates to 'In our youth, we didn't know youth,' encapsulates this sentiment perfectly. It highlights the common human tendency to take the present for granted, only to recognize its worth in hindsight.

The song also delves into the theme of love, portraying it as something that was not fully appreciated at the time. The lyrics, 'salanghal ttaen salang-i boiji anh-assne,' meaning 'When we loved, love was not visible,' suggest that the depth and significance of love were not fully understood until later. This realization is bittersweet, as the narrator acknowledges that both youth and love were incredibly precious. The imagery of 'nunmul gat-eun sigan-ui gang wie,' or 'on the river of time like tears,' evokes a sense of time slipping away, carrying with it cherished memories and emotions.

The recurring hope of reunion, expressed in the lines 'eonjenganeun uli dasi mannali,' or 'Someday we will meet again,' adds a layer of optimism to the song. Despite the passage of time and the uncertainty of the future, there is a belief that paths will cross once more. This hope is tempered by the acknowledgment that no one knows where life will lead, but the possibility of reconnecting remains a comforting thought. 'Someday' is a beautifully introspective song that resonates with anyone who has looked back on their past with a mix of longing and appreciation, capturing the essence of human experience and the enduring nature of love and youth.
