Mine
金在中 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

("A speed zone up here too")

I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I want to be your Easter bunny
I want to be your Christmas tree

I'll strip the world that you must live in
Of all its godforsaken greed
I'll ply the tar out of your feathers
I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet
You and me
You and me
You and me

And if I choose your sanctuary
I'll want to wash you with my hair
I'll want to drink of sacred fountains
And find the riches hidden there

I'll eat the lotus and peyote
I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing
I'll want the secrets of the temple
I'll want the finger with the ring
You and me
You and me
You and me

And if you make me your religion
I'll give you all you will need
I'll be the drawing of your breath
I'll be the cup if you should bleed
I'll be the sky above the Ganges
I'll be the vast and stormy sea
I'll be the lights that guide you inland
I'll be the visions you will see
Visions you will see
You will see
You will see
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me




You and me
You and me

He torn up the Asia Artist Award 2023 with this performance, glad to see so many junior idols genuinely bopping to this song. Jaejoong really is the IDOL among idols.

@bryonagii

yessssss! my boyfriend even sings this hahahah

@rajaisyahqt

Petition to ask for Jaejoong to make more rock songs!!!!!!

@STREAM_SONOGONG

I want him to do more too! I love his rock era! I hope he will do what he likes! I can't wait for his debut anniversary album!!!!

@predatorontheprey6275

Ayyy where do i sign up!?

@TripleSElle

Rock really suits him

@lanamello7445

To anybody revisiting this, never forget this song was to protect Cassiopeia. It was his stand against SM and most likely 'Keep your head down'. Never forget all their struggles to be free from the company that preyed on their talent and their lives. This album was Jae's masterpiece and I'll never shut up about it.

@hyunnieshinee1415

Now that ive read your comment it makes sense how he sang "my sea" as Cassiopeia is Red Ocean

@bbvistas7596

I remember this. There are still many of us around that witnessed this time and find it hard to support SM as you see them continue to use similar tactics to squash the competition. They have been reined in little by little. Let's see what happens without LSM in the driver's seat. He is probably backseat driving now. Jaejoong continues to create amazing music. Do check out his hit song, Nobody Like You. I think he released a new album. I heard two songs so far and I love it.

@eamauricio4623

now lsm is gone.. jj is starting creeping his way in korean entertainment. like his variety show in channel a. and other yt content for older kpop
