Hyolyn's song Hug Me Silently (말 없이 안아줘) is about longing for someone and the regret that comes with not expressing one's feelings. The lyrics describe the feeling of being unable to hold onto anything, even though time seems to be passing slowly. The protagonist is haunted by the expressionless face of the person they were in love with, who had the power to completely break them down and blur their vision, but regrets not having spoken up and expressed their feelings. The song talks about the protagonist's loneliness and their desire to see the person they love again. Though they know that they behaved poorly in the past, they hope that they can reconnect and start fresh. However, they also acknowledge the possibility that the other person may have moved on and may no longer feel the same way. In the chorus, the protagonist asks the person they love to hold them silently, without words. They hope to feel the comfort and warmth of their embrace, and to silently communicate the depth of their love and longing. The bridge of the song describes a rainy night where the protagonist walks towards the person they love, without an umbrella, knowing that they may never come back. They hope that their love will be reciprocated, but also acknowledge that it may not be. Overall, Hug Me Silently is a song about love, regret, and the longing for someone who may or may not feel the same. It's a heartfelt plea for connection, wrapped in a charming and gentle melody.
