Switch Off (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The lyrics describe feeling lost and overwhelmed in a busy, chaotic world. The fast-moving footsteps symbolize the rush of life, and the singer questions where they are heading. Despite the bright city lights, they feel like there’s no space to breathe or be themselves.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer reassures themselves that everything is fine and that they need to let go of the past. They emphasize the importance of relaxing, smiling, and taking a break from all the pressure. They want to pause for a moment, feel the wind, and just be present without worrying too much.

[Chorus]
This part expresses the idea of detachment from unnecessary stress. The singer doesn’t want to be burdened by others’ expectations or obstacles in their way. Instead of fighting back, they choose to stay calm, take things slow, and quietly enjoy the moment.

[Verse 2]
The singer reminds themselves that whatever they’re going through will eventually pass. They encourage shaking off negative emotions and putting down the weight of a heavy heart. A brighter, more beautiful day is right in front of them, and they just need to focus on what’s ahead.

[Pre-Chorus]
Similar to the first pre-chorus, the singer encourages trust in what they see and feel. They remind themselves to smile and stay relaxed, without pressure. They look up at the night sky, realizing that peace is closer than they thought—it’s just about shifting perspective and letting go.

[Chorus]
The message of this chorus remains the same: the singer wants to be left alone from negativity. Even if obstacles come, they won’t let them bring them down. Instead, they choose to switch off, slow down, and find peace in the present moment.

[Bridge]
This part is about taking a deep breath and fully feeling the moment. The singer emphasizes moving at their own pace, not rushing or feeling pressured. They acknowledge that they’re ready to step forward, but on their own terms, embracing a sense of calm and freedom.

[Chorus]
Walking side by side with someone, the singer finds comfort in not being alone. No matter what challenges or uncertainties lie ahead, they choose to take things slow and enjoy the journey instead of worrying about the destination.
