I found this song “Spring Day’ a depressing song because the melody of the song is slow and it sounds emotional even though it's in a different language. Without thinking much of the meaning, it has already affected me with the alluring melody and heavenly vocals. ” Once I've read the lyrics I was overwhelmed with emotions. The lyrics "You know it all. You’re my best friend. The sun will rise again" …show more content…
The song talks about longing for a loved one, but the MV shows the members being on a paradise called “Omelas” and one other person is riding a train with a longing and sad look in his eyes. The plot is somewhat similar to the short story “The Ones Who Walks Away from Omelas” where one has to sacrifice his happiness for the happiness of others. Throughout the song, it talks about snow and winter "Even in August, it’s all winter here" "Wanna put an end this winter". This could refer not to the actual winter season but rather the emotional state. The winter symbolizes the person's emotions are frozen and their heart lives in 'winter' due to the immense pain of losing someone close to them.

The audience would relate, especially to the younger generation, who experiences anger when grieving the unfortunate passing of a loved one. The youth suffer from the pressure of school and expectations from family. This misery has led to numerous suicides in order to break free from the burdens of life. With this in mind, students have second thoughts about killing or hurting themselves and be wary of their friends who might be dealing with this kind of situation. I admit that I have thoughts of ending my life due to the pressure of school and social expectations but since I am quite religious, I believe that we are not qualified to take away our lives for whatever reasons. Only God has the authority to do that. This prevented me from further self-harm. This song has taught me to love myself and that someone would suffer once I leave and it pains me to watch my loved ones experience
