From Home

NCT U's 'From Home' is a poignant exploration of the themes of belonging, growth, and the comfort of finding one's place in the world. The song begins with a nostalgic reflection on past struggles and the loneliness that accompanied them. The lyrics, '워로움에 힘들던 그때' (the time when loneliness was hard), set the stage for a journey from isolation to a sense of community and strength. The initial fear and unfamiliarity of new surroundings are palpable, but the narrative quickly shifts to a more hopeful tone as the singer acknowledges the support and companionship that have transformed these experiences into cherished memories.

The chorus, 'When we shine bright, I’m alive in the CT 날 노래해,' emphasizes the rejuvenating power of unity and mutual support. The 'CT' likely refers to the city or community where the members find solace and strength. The act of looking at each other under the lights and smiling unknowingly signifies the deep connection and comfort they derive from one another. This sense of not being alone and having a 'home' in each other is a recurring theme, underscoring the importance of relationships in overcoming personal challenges and fears.

The multilingual lyrics, incorporating Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, reflect the diverse backgrounds of the NCT U members and their shared journey. Lines like '彩虹是和你在见的时言' (the rainbow is the words we see together) and '見つけたよ心が安らぐ' (I found a place where my heart can rest) highlight the universal nature of their message. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of their bond and the idea that their collective strength and sense of home are the foundations for their past, present, and future. 'It all starts from home' encapsulates the essence of the song, reminding listeners that no matter where they go, the sense of belonging and support they find in each other is what truly matters.
