Sunshine

Stray Kids' song 'Sunshine' is a refreshing ode to finding tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of seeking solace and peace, even when surrounded by the noise and chaos of the city. The repeated lines '시끄러운 도시 속에서도, ye, ye, ye' (Even in the noisy city, ye, ye, ye) and '하고 싶은 대로, 내 맘대로, ye, ye, ye' (As I want, as I please, ye, ye, ye) emphasize the importance of carving out personal space and freedom, regardless of external circumstances.

The song's imagery of sitting under a sunny shade and closing one's eyes to find a moment of calm is a powerful metaphor for mindfulness and self-care. It suggests that peace is not necessarily about escaping to a different place but about finding a sanctuary within oneself. The lyrics '햇볕 좋은 그늘 아래에 앉아 / 눈을 감고 잠깐 나를 봐봐' (Sit under the sunny shade / Close your eyes and look at me for a moment) invite listeners to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their inner selves.

Stray Kids also touch on the theme of letting go of worries and societal pressures. Lines like '나의 걱정은 다 blow up / 바람에 다 맡겨 날' (All my worries blow up / Leave them to the wind) and '그냥 무시하고 갈 길이나 가 / 누가 뭐라든지 신경 안 써' (Just ignore and go your way / Don't care what anyone says) encourage a carefree attitude and resilience against judgment. The song ultimately promotes a message of healing and self-empowerment, urging listeners to prioritize their well-being and happiness.
