404 File Not Found

TAEYONG's '404 File Not Found' delves into themes of uncertainty, connection, and self-discovery. The title itself, referencing the common internet error, sets the stage for a narrative about feeling lost and disconnected. Throughout the song, TAEYONG reassures the listener that even in moments of absence or confusion, there is always a sense of presence and support. The repeated lines 'Even if you can't find me, 난 늘 곁에 있지' (I'm always by your side) emphasize this enduring connection, suggesting that physical absence does not equate to emotional or spiritual distance.

The lyrics explore the internal struggle of feeling lost ('길을 잃은 아이야' - a lost child) and the fear of losing someone important ('너를 잃게 될까 봐 너무 두려워' - I'm so afraid of losing you). TAEYONG uses metaphors like '분홍색 한 알을 삼키면 평화를 사지 마법처럼' (swallowing a pink pill like magic to buy peace) to illustrate the lengths one might go to find solace. This imagery reflects a deeper yearning for stability and reassurance in a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable.

TAEYONG also touches on the idea of self-worth and the impact one has on others. He sings about being a guiding star ('나는 저 검은 별이 될 테니까' - I will be that black star) and the importance of sharing joy ('넌 즐거움을 나눠 주니까' - because you share joy). This duality of feeling both significant and insignificant is a central theme, as TAEYONG grapples with his own fears and insecurities while striving to be a source of light for others. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and resilience, encouraging listeners to embrace their journey, no matter how uncertain it may seem.
