[Lyrics] Latency - It Was Love (260108)

---

The awaited day

No longer approaches

I try to forget and delay

But it still comes to mind

The feeling of love

Only makes me more eager

I don’t want to hate

I want to go back, oh

The more time passes

The clearer it becomes now

I won’t trip twice

It was all beautiful

It was all love

Please believe it’ll shine brighter, no matter how many nights pass

I’ll lift my head once again

And I’ll lock into your gaze

Who kept by my side

We gotta move it slowly

Step on the gas, slowly

Please let me go

In the dark room

Kick the door open and slowly slowly slowly

You on the awaited day

Me on the awaited day

Never thought we’d see, because I didn’t know

That you’d still be in that spot

I’m hiding myself more

And just running ahead

The tears fall down

Even though I smile brightly

I take a deep breath

Even if my body trembles

Now I stand under the sky again

It was all beautiful

It was all love

Please believe it’ll shine brighter, no matter how many nights pass

I’ll lift my head once again

And I’ll lock into your gaze

Who kept by my side

We gotta move it slowly

Like how it was all beautiful

Like how it was all love

Please believe it’ll shine brighter, no matter how many nights pass

I’ll lift my head once again

And I’ll lock into your gaze

Who kept by my side

Because it will all be beautiful

Because it will all be love

If a single moment comes to me, I’ll rise again

Thanks, this is everything

I’ll guard it, no matter how long it takes

I’ll give you my side, no matter when

It’ll always be love

기다리던 날은 더

다가오지 않는 걸

잊어도 미뤄도

떠오른 건

사랑하는 맘엔 더

조급해지기만하고

미워하기 싫은데

돌아가고 싶은데 oh

시간이 갈 수록

이젠 선명해져

두번은 다시 넘어지지 않아

전부 아름다웠는데

전부 사랑이었는데

더 빛날 거라 믿어줘 몇번의 밤이 지나더라도

또 한번 고갤 들어서

여전히 곁을 지켜줬던

너의 시선에 맞출게

We gotta move it slowly

악셀을 올려 slowly

Please let me go

어두운 방에서

문을 박차곤 slowly slowly slowly

기다리던 날의 널

기다리던 날의 날

다시 보게될 줄 여전히 그 자리에

있어줄지 몰라서

나를 더 숨기고서

달려가고만 있어

눈물이 흘러나와

환하게 웃고 있지만

숨을 들이마셔

몸이 떨려와도

이제는 다시 하늘 아래 서서

전부 아름다웠는데

전부 사랑이었는데

더 빛날 거라 믿어줘 몇번의 밤이 지나더라도

또 한번 고갤 들어서

여전히 곁을 지켜줬던

너의 시선에 맞출게

We gotta move it slowly

전부 아름다웠듯이

전부 사랑이었듯이

더 빛날 거라 믿어줘 몇번의 밤이 지나더라도

또 한번 고갤 들어서

여전히 곁을 지켜줬던

너의 시선에 맞출게

전부 아름다울테니

전부 다 사랑일테니

한번에 찰나가 내게 온다면 다시 일어나볼게

고마워 이게 전부야

지킬게 언제까지라도

곁을 내줄래 언제든

언제나 사랑일거야

"Five youths, gathered within delayed time.

Heeyeon, Jeewon, Hyunjin, Haeun, Semi. The five members have walked different paths, but they came to stand together with a singular heart towards music. Their time connect into one flow under the name of Latency.

Debut single "It Was Love" is a medium-tempo track based on rock and metal, layering an emotional melody atop tough band sound. It expresses the regrets of youth and moments of growth through straight-speaking lyrics and energetic play, and members Jeewon and Haeun participated in lyric-writing to reflect the team's story and mindset. As a pre-release track, the song definitively shows Latency's color and direction.

"It Was Love" is not about the end of love, but it instead speaks of how the love from fans and around them was the strength that helped them move towards dreams again.

"A story not about the end of love, but about how love raised me up again."

It expresses the moment of renewal and maturation that came after despair, and the drum, guitar riffs, and vocal layers that heighten towards the end fiercely paint the cycle and explosion of emotions."
