O

[Verse 1: Woosung]
Under the rain, our broken hearts
Through the storm, we find our spark
Under the reign where hope resides
We all come together within
Where the children are running
And not running away from falling stars
Imagine all the people living life in peace, oh, woah

[Chorus: Woosung]
We are the world
Our voices echo on
And pierce the walls
We are the world
No colors to divide
Just come as one
We go as one

[Verse 2: Dojoon]
Over the lines, across the skies
Beneath the stars, our hearts align
Until the day the king resigns
Let kingdoms fall for dreams to rise
Some may say that I'm dreaming
Something we have forgotten how to do
Everything will find its place
If we seize the love, oh, oh

[Chorus: Woosung]
We are the world
Our voices echo on
And pierce the walls
We are the world
No colors to divide
Just come as one

“O” by The Rose is a beautifully minimalist yet emotionally intense song that speaks to the feeling of emptiness, vulnerability, and silent yearning. The title, just a single letter—“O”—can be interpreted as a symbol of a cycle, a void, or a cry; something whole yet hollow, open yet endless. That simplicity reflects the raw emotional state the song captures: when words run out, and all that’s left is a feeling you can’t quite name.

Lyrically, “O” feels like a conversation with the self, quiet, introspective, and deeply honest. It doesn’t shout; it whispers. The song explores the kind of pain that’s not loud or dramatic, but still overwhelming in its silence. It's about moments when thoughts, regrets, or longing consume you, but all you can do is sit in the stillness and let yourself feel it.

Musically, The Rose keeps the arrangement stripped down, letting the vocals take center stage, trembling with emotion. Every pause and breath carries weight. It’s not just a song—it’s a space. A space where pain lingers, where silence says more than words, where you’re forced to face whatever is haunting you.

Emotionally, “O” represents the fragile in-between, between holding on and letting go, between remembering and forgetting, between being okay and not. It's a song for those moments when you don’t know what to say or do, when your heart is too tired to explain. And in that, it becomes incredibly relatable.

Ultimately, “O” is a reminder that it’s okay to feel deeply, to not have all the answers, and to exist with your emotions. It’s the kind of song that holds you quietly when you need it most—and sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.
