Before The Stars by South Korean band DAY6 is a sonic sunrise after a long, lonely night. The lyrics paint a cinematic journey: the narrator tumbles into an unseen cliff, wanders for what feels like years in total darkness, and finally spots a single pin-prick of light. Step by step, that flicker grows into a sky-wide explosion of starlight, so brilliant it stops him in his tracks. Overwhelmed, he breaks into song, watching the cosmos itself dance along.
At its heart, this track is a celebration of perseverance. Every star represents a hard-won hope, every note a reminder that even the smallest glimmer can guide you out of despair. After countless silent nights of self-comfort, the singer arrives at a moment he once only dreamed of and wishes it could last forever. It is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt lost yet kept walking, believing that somewhere ahead the sky would finally open and pour down light.
