What does “Together” by 김태래(KIM TAE RAE) (ZEROBASEONE) mean?

“Together” by 김태래(KIM TAE RAE) (ZEROBASEONE) is a tender plea to stay close to someone while facing a parting that can't be avoided. The singer has waited a long time, must give up their dreams, and fears fading away and being forgotten. Still, they hold on to a quiet resolve to find the other person's light in the dark, and the mood is aching but gentle.

How we make these breakdowns

theIDOL builds every breakdown with AI assistance and automated checks, and publishes a page only after it passes them. An AI model writes the meaning of each line and the word-by-word glosses from the song's timed lyrics. The pronunciation comes from our own rule-based Korean transcriber, which spells how the words sound when sung, sound changes included, not a letter-by-letter romanization. Pages that fail the audio-sync or translation checks are not published, and we quote only a few key lines. If you spot a mistake, write to support@theidol.ai and we will fix it.
