Glistening Ambitions: The Shining Message of TXT's 'Sweat'
TOMORROW X TOGETHER, commonly known as TXT, is a South Korean boy band known for their youthful energy and lyrics that often resonate with the experiences of young people. Their song 'Sweat' is a testament to the hard work and perseverance that goes into chasing dreams and the eventual payoff of such dedication.
The lyrics of 'Sweat' metaphorically use sweat as a symbol for effort and struggle. The song acknowledges the challenges and the 'useless efforts' that can sometimes feel overwhelming ('eollukjyeo issneun ttamjaguk tto nae deunge'). However, it encourages the listener not to worry too much about these hardships ('singyeong sseuji ma just singyeong sseuji ma'). The chorus uplifts with a message of hope, suggesting that like sweat that eventually evaporates into the sky, the hard work will pay off, and they will shine like stars ('ma sweat like rain someday we make it rain').
The song also touches on themes of unity and shared experiences. It speaks to the moments of shared sweat, implying shared efforts, and how these memories will be cherished and serve as a foundation for future success ('uriga ttam heulryeossdeon sunganeul gieokgae'). The repeated lines 'mideo mideo' (believe, believe) and 'wiro wiro' (up, up) serve as a rallying cry for self-belief and aspiration. TXT's 'Sweat' is an anthem for anyone working towards a goal, reminding them that their efforts are valuable and will lead to a brighter, shining future.
