NiziU(니쥬) 'Lullaby' Track Video

Why Koreans care

The lyrics subtly reverse the lullaby’s direction: the narrator first asks, “Let me hear your lullaby,” but ends with “Listen to my lullaby.” The song moves from wanting comfort from someone to offering that comfort back.

In the Korean comments

One commenter says “Lullaby” nearly displaced “새벽을 달려” (Saebyeogeul Dallyeo, “Run Through the Dawn”) as their second-favorite track, then calls it the song that most strongly conveys the album’s dreamlike, mysterious concept. Another specifically singles out “Lullaby” and “새벽을 달려” (Saebyeogeul Dallyeo, “Run Through the Dawn”) among the album tracks beyond the title song.

What the words mean

“귀에 잘 들어옴” (gwie jal deureoom, literally “enters the ear well”) does not merely mean that a song is audible. Here it casually means that the song immediately catches the listener’s ear and is easy to get into.
