OH MOM
T.O.P Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How could this happen to me?
But even worse, how could this happen to you? (oh my God)
It began with a letter and was the beginning of pain
I'ma tell it to you straight
Hey look

내 숨이 가쁜 하루
정신없이 지나가고
그 언젠지 참 멋진
널 만난 건 소중한 인연

이 세상 모든 것들이
아름답게 보이고
니가 좋아하던 것들 나도 좋아하게 되고

완벽하기만 한
안정을 찾은 일상 속에
소망들을 서로 나눠 갖고

내 몸은 병에 걸려서
그대는 답장이 없어서
Sorry I'm sorry for top

Oh mom 어떻게 해야 해요 mom
불보다 뜨거운 이기심은
나를 괴롭히네 oh my God
Oh mom 약속할게요
Mom 어쩌면 좋나요
이젠 나 이제
Oh my God, oh my God

어머님
같은 사람이라 생각하니 가슴이 답답하고 무겁습니다
어쩌면 죽을지도 모릅니다
웃음소리가 사라지지 않도록 지켜주십시오

하루종일 쓸쓸한 하루 편지를 받고
당신의 사연에 나는 눈물 흘려요
이 세상 내 목소리가
널 기쁘게 한다면
보다 더 멀리멀리
크게 노래 부를테니

Nananana nananana
그저 답답한 내 맘이 들리나요
친구여 눈물은 닦아
나는 웃는 니가 더 예뻐
Sorry I'm sorry oh my God

Oh mom 어떻게 해야 해요 mom
불보다 뜨거운 이기심은
나를 괴롭히네 oh my God

Oh mom 약속할게요
Mom 어쩌면 좋나요
이젠 나 이제
Oh my God, oh my God

Baby don't cry
넌 우두커니 홀로 서있지만 (지만)
걱정하지 마 쓸쓸하지만
누구나 그렇잖아
옆을 봐봐 넌 혼자가 아냐

Don't cry (don't cry) 넌 우두커니 홀로 서있지만
걱정하지마 쓸쓸하지만
누구나 그렇잖아
옆을 봐봐 혼자가 아냐

인생이란 참 웃긴 것이야
아슬아슬한 불장난이야
장난스런 장애물에 삶의 굴레
모든 건 마음 먹기니까
Keep your head up

Baby don't cry
넌 우두커니 홀로 서있지만 (지만)
걱정하지 마 쓸쓸하지만
누구나 그렇잖아
옆을 봐봐 넌 혼자가 아냐

Don't cry 넌 우두커니 홀로 서 있지만 (지만)
걱정하지마 쓸쓸하지만
누구나 그렇잖아
옆을 봐봐 혼자가 아냐

Oh mom, oh mom

How could this happen to me?
I cannot believe this happened to me, it's unbelievable


But even worse, how could this happen to you? (oh my God)
Not only did this happen to me, but it happened to you as well, which is even more heartbreaking and concerning

I will be honest with you and tell you exactly how it is


Hey look
Listen up and pay attention to what I'm about to say


My breathless day
A day where I feel like I cannot catch my breath, it's overwhelming


Passes by in a frenzy
The day goes by quickly and uncontrollably


That certain day I met you
The day I met you was a special, wonderful moment


Was a precious connection
Our meeting was not a coincidence, it was a valuable connection


All things in this world
Everything in this world


Look beautiful
Appear attractive and pleasing to the eye


Things you liked, I also came to like
The things you enjoyed and appreciated, I started to appreciate and enjoy as well


In a perfect, stable daily life
In a daily routine that is perfect and balanced


We share our wishes with each other
We express and share our desires and aspirations with one another


My body is sick
I am suffering from a physical illness


And there is no reply from you
You are not responding to me, and it is causing me distress


Sorry I'm sorry for top
I apologize, I take responsibility for everything that has happened


Oh mom, what should I do, mom
I am reaching out to my mother for guidance and support during this difficult time


My selfishness is hotter than fire
My self-centeredness is overwhelming and intense

It is causing me great pain and suffering


Oh mom, I will promise you
Mom, I promise you that things will get better and I will work on myself


Mom, what should I do now?

Oh my God, oh my God
An expression of shock, surprise, or frustration


Thinking that we are the same person makes my heart feel heavy and suffocating

Maybe I'll die from this
The pain and suffering may be so intense that it feels unbearable, like it could result in death


Please don't let the laughter disappear
Do not let the happiness and joy disappear from our lives, even in difficult times


All day long, a lonely day
The whole day feels lonely and isolating


Receiving a letter, I shed a tear for you
I cried when I read the letter you sent me


If my voice can make you happy in this world
If my voice can bring you joy and happiness in this world


I will sing even louder and farther
I will sing with all my heart and soul, and my voice will travel far and wide


Nananana nananana
Nonsensical vocalization, no specific meaning


Can you hear my frustrating heart?
Can you hear the intense turmoil and agony I am feeling inside?


Wipe away your tears, my friend
Stop crying, my friend


I think you look more beautiful when you smile
You are even more attractive to me when you smile


Sorry I'm sorry oh my God
I apologize, I take responsibility for everything that has happened


Baby don't cry
Do not cry, my baby


You stand alone in silence
You are standing alone in silence, feeling isolated and lonely


But don't worry, even though it's lonely
Do not worry, even though it may be lonely and discouraging


Everyone feels the same way sometimes
Everyone experiences feelings of isolation and loneliness at times


Look around, you are not alone
Look around you, you have people who care about you and support you


Life is a funny thing
Life is ironic and unpredictable


A dangerous game of fire
Life can feel like a dangerous game of chance


Obstacles and the grind of life
Challenges and difficulties that come with life


Everything is up to personal choice
Our lives are defined by the choices we make


Keep your head up
Stay positive and optimistic, do not give up

Dunno, just read this somewhere, thought I would share it. Just in case.

"First of all, she is alive though she suffered from breast cancer. She is not a girl but in her 30´s. She is Japanese, and a big fan of TOP. Her name is Saori , which TOP shouted in the middle of his performance. She actually sent some letters to TOP, but didn't want him to come to see her. She just wrote that TOP's voice warms her heart even in her difficult time from the disease. He had known she was a true fan from reasons such as continuous presents, letters and a hilarious YouTube video... So he created 'Oh Mom' to encourage her. It's not a song that he regrets not meeting her but one that he struggles against his egoism that he thinks he could help her from disease. Of course he could do nothing for her in terms of medical care. He met her and made her listen to the song before it was released. The reason why I wrote this is to let people know she is still alive. She really hates to see many YouTube comments like R.I.P Saori... because there is still fear of her cancer coming back."

@unggulsetiowati1594

Vanessa Morrisseau so the girl is not yet dead ??

@whoyou7808

Vanessa Morrisseau i think she really dead

@whoyou7808

Vanessa Morrisseau because her parents send him a video of her and told him that she had died .

@katharinas.3836

"it began with a letter" "because you haven't gotten your response" "sorry"
real story behind the song:
There was a fan who had cancer and wrote him a letter but he didn't believe her because many fans sent him letters like that. But the girl really died and her parents sent him a video of her and told him that she had died.
He wrote this song for her, oh mom stands for oh god

@RaylanderTech

+Katy Scott OMG, I have fallen in love with this song, and with the lyrics of it. Thanks for sharing the fact behind this sad song. :)

@geebeens

Listening to this now, in this very moment, in the midst of his scandal, waiting for him to wake up. I'm crying so much. I hope Tabi regains his consciousness and I hope he'll be well.

@emmadelaurent1808

gee beens I feel the same!! I were trying to find this song for hours and when I finally found it I started to cry, cause right now in this situation I feel like he is singing to his mom...

@geebeens

True! I felt like he was singing to his mom too. It's good that he's awake and doing well now :)
I hope he takes care of himself in the coming days too. It'll be tough for him, but at least we'll always be here no matter what happens.

@tmissyjeogiyomuljomjuseyo1992
