Nebula

[Verse 1: Dojoon]
Counting stars, I closed my eyes
Searching for answers of life
Saw shapes and patterns of the old
They pulled me in closer to a world never told
I'm making my way through the endless light
"Let go of yourself", yeah, they call me out

[Chorus: Dojoon]
But I'm holding on pieces of my soul
To the things I love, to the years I love

[Verse 2: Woosung]
Stepping through the stones, unknown
I'm floating up, but I'm alone
Knocking till the truth unfolds
I'm drifting below where all the stars intertwine
The shadow I cast wouldn't stеp aside
I'm begging to stay as they turn mе down

[Chorus: Woosung]
'Cause I'm holding on pieces of my soul
To the things I love, to the years I love

[Post-Chorus: Woosung, Dojoon]
To the years I love
To the years I love
To the years I love
To the years I love
To the years (I love)

“Nebula” by The Rose is a haunting, ethereal song that explores the feeling of being emotionally lost, distant, and fading—like a nebula drifting silently through space. The title itself, referencing the beautiful but fragile clouds of gas and dust in the universe, becomes a perfect metaphor for the fragility of the self when love, identity, or purpose begins to dissolve.

The lyrics paint a picture of someone slipping away—not necessarily physically, but emotionally or spiritually. There’s a strong sense of detachment, like watching your own life from the outside, unable to fully connect or hold on. The “nebula” becomes a symbol for that in-between space: where you’re no longer who you were, but not yet who you might become. It’s beautiful in a tragic way—soft, floating, and fading.

What makes “Nebula” especially moving is its atmosphere. The Rose uses distant-sounding vocals, ambient instrumentals, and layered emotions to create a sense of drifting through the void. The sound wraps around you like a dream—or a memory—something untouchable but still heavy with meaning. It feels like standing in a moment you can’t stop, knowing it's slipping away, yet unable to change it.

Emotionally, the song captures themes of identity loss, emotional numbness, and longing for grounding. It’s not loud with pain—it’s quiet, like a last breath, or a silent cry for someone to notice that you’re fading. It speaks to anyone who has felt invisible, suspended in time, unsure if they’re still truly there.

Ultimately, “Nebula” isn’t about answers—it’s about acknowledging the emptiness we sometimes fall into. And by doing so, The Rose gives voice to something so many people feel but struggle to express. It's a reminder that even in our most faded moments, there is still beauty in existing—and that even a nebula, while lost in space, can still shine.
