Breathe
루나 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
안개에 싸인 것 같아
늘 걷던 길이 보이지 않아 oh
도시 위는 소음 넘쳐나
어떤 얘기도 닿지 않아 oh
긴 적막에 난 눈을 감아 oh
슬픔 속에 흐려지는 말이
한숨 속에 흩어지는 사이
아름다운 기억 펼쳐, 펼쳐
날 그려보다 입술 끝에 꽃 핀
나만의 숨소리
눈을 감아 breathe in, breathe in, breathe
Breathe in, breathe in, breathe
모두가 스쳐 지나간
이 곳에 홀로 멈춰진 나
But now 두드리는 빗방울에
눈에 맺힌 아픔들을 감춰
꼭 따스한 품만 같아
어린 날의 내가 보여, 보여
슬픔 속에 흐려지는 말이
한숨 속에 흩어지는 사이
아름다운 기억 펼쳐, 펼쳐
날 그려보다 입술 끝에 꽃 핀
내 안의 목소리
닫힌 맘을 열고 (I'm breathing in)
Oh 따스함을 느껴 (I'm breathing in)
I'm breathing, I'm breathing
나 눈을 뜨고 (I'm breathing, breathe)
Oh, yeah, oh 햇살 속에 안겨 (I'm breathing in)
(Breathe in, breathe in, breathe) 너무 아름다워
어린 날의 내가 보여, 보여
슬픔 속에 흐려지는 말이
한숨 속에 흩어지는 사이
아름다운 꿈을 펼쳐, 펼쳐
새로워진 나 두 눈 안에 담긴
달라진 memory
눈을 감아 breathe in, breathe in, breathe
맘을 열어 breathe in, breathe in, breathe
새로워져 breathe in, breathe in, breathe
The lyrics to 루나's "Breathe In" talk about feeling lost and overwhelmed in the chaos of the city, and trying to find comfort in memories of simpler times. The first verse sets the stage, with the city noisy and shrouded in fog, making it hard to find one's way. The singer closes her eyes in the long silence, and sees herself as a child. Memories of sadness and struggle fade away with a sigh, and she exhales to reveal an inner voice that is uniquely her own.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of these memories and the singer's breath, as she tries to find peace in the chaos. She exhales through her lips and a flower blooms, a metaphor for the beauty that can be created through hardship. The second verse repeats these themes, with the singer feeling alone in the rain, but finding warmth and comfort nonetheless.
The bridge is a declaration of openness and vulnerability, as the singer exhales and allows herself to be enveloped in warmth and light. The final chorus brings everything full circle, with memories turning into beautiful dreams and a new sense of self emerging from the chaos. The repetition of "breathe in" emphasizes the importance of taking time to pause and reflect, no matter how busy life gets.
Overall, "Breathe In" is a song about finding peace and beauty in the midst of struggle. The lyrics encourage listeners to take a deep breath, close their eyes, and remember the things that make life worth living.
