Special

Yubin's song 'Special' delves into themes of nostalgia, longing, and the bittersweet nature of memories. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist reminiscing about a past relationship that once held significant meaning. The opening lines describe a dream where the image of a loved one resurfaces, highlighting the persistent nature of these memories. The cold, urban setting contrasts with the warmth of these recollections, emphasizing the emotional distance and the passage of time.

The chorus reveals a deep sense of yearning and unresolved emotions. The artist questions whether the person from her past would still hold her hand and be there for her, despite the changes and the distance that time has created. This longing is further accentuated by the mention of someone watching her from afar, smiling, which could symbolize the lingering presence of this person in her life, even if only in her thoughts.

The song also touches on the idea of a 'hero' from childhood, someone who provided comfort and support during vulnerable times. This figure is remembered fondly, and the inability to forget them is likened to an unforgettable gift. The repeated plea in the latter part of the song, 'Please don’t care about me,' suggests a desire to move on and let go, yet the burning sensation in her body indicates that these feelings are still very much alive. Yubin's 'Special' is a poignant exploration of how past relationships and memories continue to shape our present emotions and experiences.
