Holiday Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Bang Chan, Hyunjin, Seungmin]
This part talks about feeling overwhelmed and constantly busy, to the point where free time feels like a distant memory. The singer questions how much more they can handle and wonders why they’re pushing themselves so hard. Their thoughts pile up, making everything feel heavier. Deep down, they just wish they could escape outside and breathe, almost like calling for help because the pressure is becoming too much.

[Pre-Chorus: Lee Know, Felix, I.N, Hyunjin]
Here, the singer expresses a strong desire to recharge. They want sunlight, fresh air, and the freedom to move without overthinking. The idea of taking a deep breath and releasing stress feels comforting. They compare themselves to a bird soaring high, symbolizing a carefree and peaceful state they long to experience again.

[Chorus: Bang Chan, Hyunjin, Felix, Changbin]
This part repeats the exhaustion that’s been building up. The singer is tired, mentally stuck, and feels like they can’t keep going without a break. They admit they’ve been working nonstop and simply need time to rest. Feeling lost and unable to move forward, they ask for a holiday, hoping that stepping away for a moment will help them reset and find clarity again.

[Verse 2: Han, Changbin]
This section talks about hoping for better days and wanting things to return to a calmer state. Even though the world keeps spinning, life sometimes feels sharp and overwhelming. The singers acknowledge how hard things have been but also recognize how much they’ve accomplished. They want time to relax with friends, enjoy small moments, and focus on peace instead of stress. They remind themselves that even if they lose things, they can rebuild, and that taking a break is necessary, not selfish.

[Pre-Chorus: I.N, Changbin, Bang Chan, Seungmin, *Han*]
In this part, the desire for relief comes back. The singer wants the warmth of the sun to lift their spirits and give them energy. They imagine themselves running freely without stress or heavy thoughts. By taking a deep breath, they hope to clear their mind. The dream of being like a bird flying high shows how much they want freedom from all the pressure.

[Chorus: Seungmin, I.N, Felix]
Once again, the singer admits how worn out they feel. The routine and constant effort have left them drained and stuck. They repeat that they need a holiday because they can’t continue in this state. Their mind feels lost, and taking a break seems like the only way to recover. The repetition shows just how desperate they are for rest and reset.

[Bridge: Lee Know, Hyunjin, Han]
This part describes wanting to disappear for a while without anyone chasing after them. They need space to breathe and recover after pushing themselves for so long. They promise to return when they’re ready but ask others to let them rest without pressure. It’s a gentle request for understanding.

[Outro: I.N]
A simple reminder that they just need rest.
