난 내가 참 어려워
늘 모든 게
다 불안해
아직 어린 내 맘이
자라지 못한 채
나를 보곤 해
Hey, hey 어른이란
이름의 tag
변해버린 everything
갈필 잃은 맘이
날 밀어내 매일
Baby, I’m a weirdo, I know
나만 이런걸까
어린 아이처럼
왠지 난 서투른 걸
And I don’t know what to do
And I don’t know how
달려가는 시간 뒤로
나만 멈춰있어
It goes like
Woo, woo, woo, la-la
Woo, woo, woo, la-la
늘 기대완 다르게
흘러가는 way
이젠 익숙해
그대로 걸어가
이 비 바람 다
때가 되면 다시
그칠 테니까, oh
Hey, hey 의미 없어
정해진 map
한 걸음씩 every day
선명해진 맘이
날 이끌어 매일
Baby, I’m a weirdo, I know
나만 이런걸까
어린 아이처럼
왠지 난 서투른 걸
And I don’t know what to do
And I don’t know how
달려가는 시간 뒤로
나만 멈춰있어
Baby, 다른 누구와 내 삶을
비교할 필요 없어
하루씩
나의 것들로 날
채워나가
삶이란 미로
때론 헤매도
이 자체로 소중한 걸
그 끝이 어디든
정해진 결말은 없어
누가 뭐라 해도, oh no
나답게 가고 싶어
오직 나만의 속도로
흐름대로 가
셀 수 없는 날들 위로
나의 이야길 써
지금 난
Woo, woo, woo (Alright) la-la
Woo, woo, woo, la-la
Finding Yourself Amid Uncertainty
“Prologue” by aespa captures the feelings of uncertainty and self-exploration that come with growing up. The lyrics express vulnerability, as the narrator admits feeling lost and unsure about their place in the world. Lines like “Baby, I’m a weirdo, I know” and “I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know how” reflect a sense of self-doubt and awkwardness, reminiscent of childhood innocence lingering into adulthood. Despite these insecurities, the song embraces the idea of moving at your own pace and writing your unique story, regardless of external expectations or comparisons.
Embracing Individuality
The message in “Prologue” encourages listeners to reject comparisons and predetermined paths. Instead, it highlights the importance of personal growth, resilience, and valuing one’s journey, even when the destination is unclear. The recurring motif of “going with the flow” and “writing my own story” inspires confidence in embracing one’s identity and the unpredictability of life.
