The demo's lyrics are almost entirely in English and are considered "guide lyrics"—often containing grammatical errors or "gibberish" intended to establish vocal progression and melody rather than a finished message.
Fans often prefer the demo for its "realness," noting that you can hear Jin's breaths and minor vocal cracks that were polished out in the studio final.
While the official version is a clear journey to self-acceptance ("I'm the one I should love"), the demo leans toward themes of longing and needing someone by one's side ("Please be by my side, you / You're my lullaby").
