Bird
김남주 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

눈을 떠 나의 뭔가
부서지는 듯한 기분에
숨을 쉬어 거기 뭔가
불러지는 듯한 이름에

그래 맞아 나 널 찾아가야지
꺼지던 불씨 다시 키워봐야지
떠났던 너 죽어도 잡아야지
잊은 날개를 꺼내

어두웠던 새벽을 넘어
기다렸던 태양을 보면
너의 모습이 낭떠러지래도
주저하지 않고 날 던져
걱정하지 마 날아오를걸
Because one, two, third, I'm a bird

Birdie birdie ya, I'm a bird
Gonna burn up, I'm gonna burn up
푸른색의 불을 지펴 fire
Gonna burn up, I'm gonna burn up
I'm gonna be free like a bird

반짝임에 가둬진 real me
아름다운 어깨 위 blue wings
작은 얼굴 감겨진 눈빛 like eagle

조명을 벗기고 날개를 흔들어
내 사랑엔 뭣도 따라올 필요 없는걸
바람에 휩쓸려도 시선은 안 흔들려
가고픈 대로

멀어지던 아침을 잡아
기대했던 하늘을 보면
너의 모습이 낭떠러지래도
주저하지 않고 날 던져
걱정하지 마 날아오를걸
Because one, two, third, I'm a bird

Birdie birdie ya, I'm a bird
Gonna burn up, I'm gonna burn up
푸른색의 불을 지펴 fire
Gonna burn up, I'm gonna burn up
I'm gonna be free like a bird

여행을 떠나 보물 지도의
진짜 나를 찾아서
그 아무도 모르게 감췄던
내 오랜 꿈으로 벅차게 날아 가줘 bird

I'm a bird





Birdie birdie ya
I'm gonna be free like a bird

This song didn't get a single trophy, but don't be sad, this is just the start. Namjoo sold almost 20k+ copies of this single, she's being recognized a lot because of this song. When she made her cb let's make sure to give her a win!!!

Soyeon is so talented creating another masterpiece she really needs to rest being overworked from cube anyways this song is a bop hope it goes well for Kim Namjoo

piss

Sface Grey well we don’t know if she’s overworked, maybe she wanted to write songs

ENGR

Don't worry, if Soyeon wants to rest she will rest. She's basically her own boss and Cube's most valuable asset right now. There is nothing they wouldn't do for her, including time off if she wanted it.

Our Soyeon embodies boss energy!

@piss Thats what I thought but I remember watching a Idle episode and the girls went out but she couldn’t because she was writing a song
