Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
이제는 눈을 돌려봐
내가 조금 지쳐가잖아
so let go let me go
자 이제 그만 나를 놓아줘
이런 말 꺼내기엔 너무
로맨틱한 오후
넌 내꺼 내꺼 외치던 나는
생각은 나겠지
꿈을 꾸듯 끌렸었던 너였지
불꽃처럼 짧았던 멜로 멜로
너만 바라보는
그녈 찾아 떠나가 hello hello
웃기지
이런 내가 너무 너무 밉겠지
oh let go let go let go
이젠 나를 놓고 그녀를 만나
나를 놔
기억도 나질 않잖아
어제 우리 뭘 했는지도
so let go let me go
여기까지가 다인 것 같아
조금 더 기다리긴 너무
따분한 이 오후
숨막힐 막힐 더위 같은 너를
벗어나고 싶어 난
생각은 나겠지
꿈을 꾸듯 끌렸었던 너였지
불꽃처럼 짧았던 멜로 멜로
너만 바라보는
그녈 찾아 떠나가 hello hello
웃기지
이런 내가 너무 너무 밉겠지
oh let go let go let go
이젠 나를 놓고 그녀를 만나
나를 놔
잔인할수록 너와 나를 위하는 거
미련을 안고 맴돌게 만들긴 싫어
그럴 수 있겠지
취한 밤에 전활 건 내 목소리
뒤엉킨 혀 끝으로 헬로 헬로
그땐 나를 버려
차갑게 널 버렸던 벌로 벌로
웃겠지
후련하게 니가 날 비웃겠지
oh let go let go let go
이런 나를 놓고 그녀를 만나
나를 놔
The lyrics to 가인's song "그녀를 만나" (Meet Her) depict a person who is tired and wants to move on from a past relationship. The opening lines, "get out and let go, now turn your eyes away, I'm getting a little exhausted, so let go let me go" convey the desire to let go of the past and move forward. The singer reflects on the romantic afternoons they shared, but realizes that they have changed and maybe even died a long time ago.
They mention being drawn to the other person like a short-lived melodrama, but now they want to find someone that only looks at them and says goodbye to the other person, indicating a desire to let go completely. The second verse repeats similar sentiments, emphasizing the feeling of being suffocated by the other person's presence and wanting to escape. They mention not remembering what they did yesterday and feeling that it's time to let go and move on.
The chorus repeats the plea to let go and meet someone new.

Overall, the lyrics of "그녀를 만나" express a longing to let go of a past relationship and move on, finding happiness and clarity in meeting someone new.

As a punishment of coldly abandoning you

You'll mock me with satisfaction
