Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

어디를 바라보고 있나요
그 곳은 아무 것도 없는데
애써 시선 피할 필요 없어
날 바라봐 딴 떨거지들처럼
너만이 필요할 뿐
이렇게 붐벼도
너만이 이 밤 밝혀주잖아
내 눈빛도 너만이 촛점 맞는 밤

날 지금 바라본 게 맞나요
그 찰나에 날 다 본 건가요
내 맘 어떻게 가져가려구
내 밤 어떻게 가져가려구
너만이 필요할 뿐 이렇게 붐벼도
너만이 이 밤 밝혀주잖아
내 가슴도 너만이 차지하는 밤
사랑은 좀 빠른가요
반했단 말론 모자라
나를 좀 더
좀 더 바라봐 보아요
스친 시선 한 번에
결국 이 밤을 택하려 해
어디를 바라보고 있나요
그래요 내가 가장 예쁜 곳
애써 시선 피할 필요 없어
너의 시선을 기다리는 곳
너만이 필요할 뿐
이렇게 붐벼도
너만이 이 밤 밝혀주잖아
내 눈빛도 너만이 촛점 맞는 밤
사랑은 좀 빠른가요
반했단 말론 모자라
나를 좀 더
좀 더 바라봐 보아요
스친 시선 한 번에
결국 이밤을 택하려
내가 좀 서두르나요
왠지 오늘뿐 같아서
나를 좀 더
좀 더 바라봐 보아요
스친 시선 한 번에
자존심 따윈 잊어가는 밤
이 밤이 점점 가고 있어요
시선만으론 견딜 수 없어
이 밤이 점점 가고 있어요
이 밤이 점점 가고 있어요

이 밤이 점점 가고 있어요
이 밤이 점점 가고 있어요

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 가인's song "시선" describe the yearning for someone's gaze and the feeling of being seen and desired by that person. The singer questions where the object of her affection is looking, as there is nothing in that direction. She asserts that she doesn't need to avoid anyone's gaze but wants to be looked at like the others are insignificant. She feels that only this person is necessary for her, even in a crowded place. She believes that he is the one who can brighten her nights and make her eyes shine. She wonders if he truly sees her in that moment or if he has seen her completely. She wants to know how she can make him take her heart and night. Love seems to be moving too fast for her, and just saying that she has fallen for him is not enough. She asks him to look at her a little more, to acknowledge her presence with a passing glance and ultimately choose this night.
