LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION

❗Certain lyrics in this song make specific references to the story of The Little Prince. If you'd like these references explained, check out the written lyrics below.

Someone like you, there's only one in this world

We tamed each other, you and I

CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: This line references The Little Prince, which served as inspiration for minisode 3: TOMORROW. In the story, the fox tells the prince: “If you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.” 'Taming' symbolizes forming a bond - an emotional connection that makes another being irreplaceable. What was once ordinary becomes special through love and shared experience. This lyric, “We tamed each other, you and I” reflects this mutual connection and emotional growth as the boys realize that love is not just about possession but about recognition and responsibility toward the one who changed them.

To me who wanted to run away

SELF REFERENCE: Run Away

There was a child who said, 'Let's meet again tomorrow.'

I was dazzled by the sparkle

Your hands slipped out of mine

After wandering for so long

I realized the meaning of your words from long ago

CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: This passage mirrors the Little Prince’s realization: “I was too young to know how to love her.” Distance and time teach both the prince and the boys the true meaning of love and connection. What once seemed confusing or fleeting is now understood with maturity - the bittersweet knowledge that love endures even after separation.

I believe we are meant to be

It's okay if you're late, I'll always be here

I'll be waiting in tomorrow

There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow

There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you thеre tomorrow

There'll bе no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow

There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow

There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow

Because of your golden hair

It's like loving a shining wheat field

CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: These lines are a direct reference to the fox’s words in The Little Prince: “You see the wheat fields over there? Wheat says nothing to me. But you have hair the color of gold. Once you have tamed me, the wheat, which is golden, will remind me of you.” In the story, the golden wheat becomes a symbol of memory and affection - an ordinary thing transformed by love. This lyric uses the same metaphor to express how love gives new meaning to the world: even absence becomes beautiful when tied to memory.

Just hearing the sound of your footsteps

Will be enough to make me happy

CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: This line parallels another quote from the fox: “The sound of your step will be different from all the others. It will call me out of my burrow.” The fox learns to recognize the prince not by sight but by sound - a sign that love makes us attuned to the presence of the other. Likewise, TXT’s lyric shows that even the smallest reminder of someone beloved brings joy and comfort, emphasizing the quiet power of emotional connection.

In that simple promise

There were only ordinary words

But the excitement that I feel in every moment

Feels like a miracle brought to me because of you

I believe we are meant to be

It's okay if you're late, I'll always be here

I'll be waiting in tomorrow

There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow

Recall the promise between you and me

I will definitely recognize you

CONTEXT/EXPLANATION: In the dedication to The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry writes, “All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.” This sentiment threads through the entire story and finds poignant reflection in the concept trailer for Minisode 3: TOMORROW, where the boys - now grown up - no longer recognize the fox. The lyric “I will definitely recognize you” becomes a quiet act of defiance against that forgetting. It expresses their determination to hold on to the wonder, love, and connection of their youth, even as they move into adulthood. In doing so, they affirm the story’s central truth: that genuine bonds, once formed, transcend time and change, and that remembering them is an act of both love and faith.

The "us" who will meet tomorrow

We'll be together beyond that

I'll see you there tomorrow

Together beyond that, I'll see you there tomorrow

Together beyond that, I'll see you there tomorrow

Together beyond that, I'll see you there tomorrow

Together beyond that, I'll see you there tomorrow

Helpful Context (Album Summary): "“Close your eyes, Wendy. Leave tomorrow behind. Take my hand, and let’s go to a place where we will never grow old, with no worries.” These words, from The Name Chapter concept trailer, once captured the fantasy of eternal youth: the desire to escape time. But 'Minisode 3: Tomorrow' marks a shift. Now, the boys* no longer run from the future. Strengthened by clarity, confidence, and sincerity, they face tomorrow head-on. Inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's 'The Little Prince', the album explores unseen but enduring bonds: love, memory, and hope. Like the Prince, the boys navigate the present with quiet resilience, believing that what matters most is felt with the heart. The album tells the story of a boy who, holding on to a past promise, embarks on a journey to find 'you'* - the one he vowed to meet again. Believing “tomorrow” holds that long-awaited reunion, he faces the challenges of today with hope. 'Minisode 3: Tomorrow' stands as a testament to youth’s enduring optimism - the belief that even amid uncertainty, tomorrow is still worth reaching for.

Helpful Context (Album Series Summary): In between each series of chapters in TXT's discography,  'minisodes' are released. Minisodes serve as transitional bridges, between chapters, guiding the listener from one era to the next while introducing new themes and emotional turning points.

*In the context of TXT’s discography, the term ‘boy’/‘boys’ are used to represent both the members themselves as well as serve as generalized protagonists embodying the universal experiences of youth. Similarly, ‘you’ is intentionally open-ended, allowing multiple interpretations of the relationship - whether platonic, romantic, fan-artist, or otherwise - inviting listeners to connect with the story in their own way.
