Cherry Filter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
너무나도 초라한 내 자신에 화가났었어
더 많이 움켜쥐려는 이기심에 눈이 먼 외로움... 그게 전부였어
어젠 울었어
뭘 위해 여기에 내가 있는지 눈물만 났어
만일 그 날들을 되돌릴 수 있다면 나 자신을 아껴 줄래
이대로 괜찮은거야 지금 이대로(Well,)
왜 뭘 믿어야 하나?
뭔가 옳고 그르며 누군가 잘못 되었단 걸
왜 우린 눈물 흘리나?
다만 아주 조용히 사라지는 것들에 감사해
어젠 울었어
실패할거란 걱정에 두려워 작은 꿈조차 부숴졌어
아무도 곁에 없다는 편견속에 갇혀서
이해하는 걸 몰랐어
보잘 것 없는 나를 도와줘
두 손 내밀게(Well,)
왜 뭘 믿어야 하나?
뭔가 옳고 그르며 누군가 잘못 되었단 걸
왜 우린 눈물 흘리나?
다만 아주 조용히 사라지는 것들에 감사해
어젠 울었어
뭘 위해 여기에 내가 있는지 눈물만 났어
만일 그 날들을 되돌릴 수 있다면 좀 더 행복해 질거야...
Yesterday by Cherry Filter is an emotional song that delves into the loneliness and self-doubt that can weigh on a person. The lyrics describe the singer's experience of feeling frustrated and insignificant, and the tears that come with that. The first verse reveals the singer's self-criticism, feeling angry about their own weakness and vulnerability. The chorus asks why we have to believe in anything, and why we shed tears, but ends on a note of gratitude for the little things that quietly disappear.
The second verse further explores the singer's feeling of being trapped and alone, as their small dreams are crushed by fear of failure. The desire for understanding and help is expressed, but with the recognition that the person asking for help is "worthless." The last chorus repeats the questions about belief and tears, but ends with the hopeful idea that if they could go back to those days they were crying, they would be happier.
Overall, Yesterday is a poignant exploration of the struggles we all face, with a recognition of the small things that help us through, and a longing for greater happiness.
