3108

Seungmin's '3108' is a poignant exploration of longing, loss, and the desire to reclaim a moment lost in time. The song opens with a vivid image of darkness so profound that even shadows disappear, symbolizing a deep sense of despair and abandonment. The reference to '너란 해' (you as the sun) fleeing behind the protagonist's back suggests a significant other who has left, taking with them the light and warmth that once illuminated the protagonist's life. This sets the stage for a narrative steeped in melancholy and a yearning for what once was.

The lyrics delve into the metaphor of a '괴도를 벗어난 행성' (a planet off its orbit), representing the disarray and chaos that follows a breakup. The protagonist expresses a wish to forget everything, including the person they once loved, indicating the depth of their pain. The recurring theme of stars and light serves as a beacon of hope amidst the darkness. The protagonist is caught in a dream that seems unattainable, yet they continue to 'fly away,' striving to reach a place where they can once again catch the light and perhaps reunite with their lost love.

The chorus, with its plea to 'catch the light,' encapsulates the essence of the song. It is a desperate attempt to turn back time, to cross the darkness and hold onto a fleeting moment of happiness. The repetition of '빛을 건너 그 날에 널 볼 수 있다면' (if I could see you on that day beyond the light) underscores the protagonist's desire to return to a specific point in time where they could have whispered eternal promises. The song's emotional depth is further amplified by Seungmin's heartfelt delivery, making '3108' a touching ode to lost love and the enduring hope of rekindling it.
