Lyrics

위로가 되지 않는
말들로 날 잡아보려 해도
대충 알아 너의 맘에
별다르지 않게
다 표현 못 한 이상한 걱정도

Oh 잠깐만 나 알 수 있는 걸
(Yeah I can feel it)
난 너를 만나 느낄 수 있는 걸 yeah
나 어떤 말로 너에게 두 손을 yeah
건네어 네 마음을 yeah
좀 더 편하게 해줄 수 있을지

그냥 네 옆자리를 지켜줄게
어디든 널 쭉 지켜볼게
낮이든 밤이든 네가 혼자 더 헤매지 않게
Baby I’ll be there
내 옆에 널 지켜줄게
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

예전 같지 않은 날들에
상처 가득한
우리 모습 보면서
넌 내 두 손을 붙잡고
아직 뭐가 뭔지 몰라
대답할 수는 없지만
I can say things will be just as usual (oh)

Baby 내 말을 다 믿어주기엔
아직은 힘든 건 알지만
이미 네 입가엔 조금씩 미소가 oh oh yeah
한없이 그리던 꿈
더 이상 기다리고 있을 수는 oh
And I wanna show you my mind

Oh 잠깐만 나 알 수 있는 걸
(Yeah I can feel it)
난 너를 만나 느낄 수 있는 걸 yeah
나 어떤 말로 너에게 두 손을 yeah
건네어 네 마음을 yeah
좀 더 편하게 해줄 수 있을지

그냥 네 옆자리를 지켜줄게
어디든 널 쭉 지켜볼게
낮이든 밤이든 네가 혼자 더 헤매지 않게
Baby I’ll be there
내 옆에 널 지켜줄게
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah 쉽게 사라지진 않을 것만
같은 우리 수많은 문제들 but
아무 걱정 없던 사진 속 미소를 보니
사실 조금 어색해
Yeah but it’s so pretty
바라봐 서로가 같은 곳을
이것 봐 우리 life is a strange thing
아주 복잡해진 머리
But 내 옆엔 네가 있어
So baby, don’t worry about a thing

그냥 네 옆자리를 지켜줄게 (yeah)
어디든 널 쭉 지켜볼게
낮이든 밤이든 네가 혼자 더 헤매지 않게
Baby I’ll be there
내 옆에 널 지켜줄게
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

옆자리를 지켜줄게
난 널 쭉 지켜볼게 oh oh
계속 널 바라볼게
조금 더 내 곁에
Stay in my arms

In an era where music transcends languages and borders, EXO’s ‘Just as usual’ emerges as a tender narrative woven with the threads of unwavering love and silent support. With lyrics that resonate deeply within the heart of any listener who has ever stood by someone through thick and thin, EXO carefully crafts a musical piece that not only soothes but also strengthens the soul.

Below the surface of pop-infused melodies and smooth harmonies, ‘Just as usual’ is an emotional journey of standing by a loved one’s side, an anthem for the silent guardians who offer solace without uttering grandiose proclamations. This piece dissects the intricate layers of meaning behind the poetic verses sung by one of K-pop’s most prominent groups.

A Promise of Perennial Presence: The Core of ‘Just as usual’

There lies a profound promise within the chorus of ‘Just as usual’; a vow to remain a conclave of comfort to the partner who stumbles in troubling times. EXO, with their sonorous voices, pledges to ‘be there,’ which is more than the physical act of proximity—it’s the embodiment of an emotional anchor.

This consistent affirmation throughout the song offers listeners a sense of stability; a lyrical lifeline in a sea of uncertainty. The members of EXO become the guardians—not out of obligation, but born from a genuine connection and a desire to ease the mind of their beloved.

The Symphonic Spheres of Support in a Modern Melody

‘Just as usual’ is not just a melodic masterpiece but also a composition enriched with symphonic undertones of empathy. As the music modulates from gentle verses to a more robust chorus, it symbolizes the emotional crescendos that occur within supportive relationships.

Listeners are treated to an auditory representation of how care manifests in its quietest form—waiting patiently by the sidelines, watching diligently, and offering solace through actions rather than words. EXO masterfully marries the modern pop sound with a timeless message of unconditional support.

Unveiling the Hidden Meaning: Hope in the ‘Strange Thing’ Called Life

Life, as EXO poetically posits, is a ‘strange thing,’ fraught with complexities and challenges that can entangle even the strongest of minds. ‘Just as usual’ delves deeper into the band’s understanding of this maddening beauty, acknowledging the paradox of cherishing a picture-perfect memory while embracing the present’s gritty realness.

In this candid acknowledgement of life’s mercurial nature lies a hidden promise of hope—the assurance that no matter how convoluted the situation may be, the presence of a loved one can unravel the complexity and shed light on a path forward.

Memorable Lines That Echo the Sentiments of Heartache and Healing

‘It’s not like the old days, filled with wounds’ reflects the inevitability of pain and the scars that each passing day can impart. As EXO grips onto the hands of their loved ones, their message is clear—words may fail to express the turmoil within, but their presence is a balm, a quiet healer of invisible hurts.

Such memorable lines are not mere poetic musings but the articulation of a deeper truth. The soothing reassurances peppered throughout the song become touchstones for anyone seeking a reprieve from the silent battles they wage against the tides of change and adversity.

Why ‘Just as usual’ Resonates Beyond Borders and Language Barriers

In the end, ‘Just as usual’ transcends the barriers of language and culture, striking a universal chord through its depiction of human connection and constancy. It’s a testament to music’s power to emote, comfort, and unite people, regardless of their personal narratives.

EXO’s crafted chorus and evocative verses become a shared human experience, an echo chamber where every listener finds their own story reflected in the words of solace and the promises of unwavering companionship. ‘Just as usual’ is not merely a song—it’s the soothing whisper of a friend saying, ‘In the ups and downs of life, I’ll be by your side, just as usual.’
