I Remember
방용국 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
왜 아직도 머릿속에 남아있는지
난 모르겠어
지난 날 전부 기억할게
날 갖고 놀던 것
덕분에 모든 게
난 다 뒤 바뀌었어
그저 앞에서 환하게 웃던
난 그 어떤 사랑이 와도
웃겨 다 구겨진 심장
어떻게든 널 잊어보려 했어
내가 먼저 누구보다 잘나져서
날 보면서 네가 후회하길 바랬어
그래 너 그렇게
무시하던 내 음악도
이젠 서울 거리에
울려 퍼지니까 (rock on)
우리 예전 습관들이 붙잡고
악몽 같던 네 생각에 홀려
빠져들지 매번
그래도 사랑했던 너였기에
절대 잊지 않아
Yes I remember
눈을 감아도 (도) 우릴 비추던
빛이 아직도 (도) 그대로 있어
소중했던 시간들
난 깊이 간직하겠어
많은 시간 속 (속) 아픔이 와도
영원을 약속 (속) 했던 나날들
그 순간만큼 그토록
절대 잊지 않겠어
I remember
I don't know
What you done to me
Just like that
집어치워 난 사랑 따윈 안 해
I came back yeah
모두 버려 더 이상은
필요 없어 난
이제 너 없이 잠들 수 있어
너 없는 spotlight
빈자리를 비추어
즉 내가 꾸는
꿈의 가치를 믿지 못해
날 버린 이 현실에 내가 미쳐
I'm hot stuff
너 같은 애들이 만나달라고
간청할 때 주는 상처는
내 나름대로 악하게 살아가는 법
계속됐던 이별 후에
내게 남은 건
영원할 거란 약속은 결국 없어
그게 날 여기까지
오게 만들었지 매번
네 손으로 직접 놓아버린 날
두 번 다시는 쳐다도 보지마
네 생각도 나와 같다고 믿을게
절대 잊지 않아
Yes I remember
눈을 감아도 (도) 우릴 비추던
빛이 아직도 (도) 그대로 있어
소중했던 시간들
난 깊이 간직하겠어
많은 시간 속 (속) 아픔이 와도
영원을 약속 (속) 했던 나날들
그 순간만큼
그토록 절대 잊지 않겠어
I remember
함께 하자는 약속
영원토록 (이곳에 간직할게)
잠시 이 길을 홀로 걸어가도
내 모든 걸 네게 보여줄게
눈을 감아도 (도) 우릴 비추던
빛이 아직도 (도) 그대로 있어
소중했던 시간들
난 깊이 간직하겠어
많은 시간 속 (속) 아픔이 와도
영원을 약속 (속) 했던 나날들
그 순간만큼 그토록
절대 잊지 않겠어
I remember
In 방용국's "I Remember," the singer reminisces about the memories he shared with a past lover. Despite how painful and difficult those memories were, they remain deeply ingrained in his mind. He promises to never forget those precious moments they shared together, even if they were just a fleeting moment. He recalls the transformation he underwent because of her and how she was the reason for everything he has become. The singer remembers how he always hoped that she would regret leaving him, but despite the pain, he confesses that he loved her truly.
Throughout the lyrics, the singer talks about how he has changed and how he's able to move past the heartbreak he once felt. He's grown and become more resilient, able to handle the tough times without her now. He's found a way to love himself without her and even though memories of her remain, he knows that he can survive without her. This song is a reflection of a person who's been through heartbreak but has come out stronger and able to love and cherish memories regardless.

다 지옥 같던 우리의 기억이
Our memories, which felt like hell,
왜 아직도 머릿속에 남아있는지
I don't know why they're still stuck in my head
난 모르겠어
I don't understand
지난 날 전부 기억할게
But I'll remember everything from the past
날 갖고 놀던 것
Including how I was played with
덕분에 모든 게
Thanks to that, everything
난 다 뒤 바뀌었어
Has changed completely for me
그저 앞에서 환하게 웃던
My old self, who used to smile brightly
예전에 내 모습은 없어
Is gone now
난 그 어떤 사랑이 와도
No matter what love comes to me
웃겨 다 구겨진 심장
My heart is already crumpled and laughed over
어떻게든 널 잊어보려 했어
I tried to forget you in every way possible
내가 먼저 누구보다 잘나져서
I was better than anyone else
날 보면서 네가 후회하길 바랬어
I hoped you would regret seeing me
그래 너 그렇게
That's right, you
무시하던 내 음악도
Even the music you ignored
이젠 서울 거리에
Is spreading through the streets of Seoul now
울려 퍼지니까 (rock on)
So rock on and let it echo
우리 예전 습관들이 붙잡고
The habits we had before still hold on
악몽 같던 네 생각에 홀려
I'm still trapped in thoughts of our nightmare-like past
빠져들지 매번
I get trapped every time
그래도 사랑했던 너였기에
But because it was you who I loved
절대 잊지 않아
I will never forget
Yes I remember
Yes, I remember
눈을 감아도 (도) 우릴 비추던
Even if I close my eyes, the light that shone on us
빛이 아직도 (도) 그대로 있어
Is still there, as it was before
소중했던 시간들
The precious times we had
난 깊이 간직하겠어
I will deeply cherish them
많은 시간 속 (속) 아픔이 와도
Even though pain comes with the passing time
영원을 약속 (속) 했던 나날들
The days we promised each other eternal love
그 순간만큼 그토록
I will never forget those moments
절대 잊지 않겠어
As much as possible, I will never forget
I remember
I remember
I don't know
I don't know
What you done to me
What you've done to me
Just like that
Just like that
집어치워 난 사랑 따윈 안 해
I'll throw away love and not care about it
I came back yeah
I came back, yeah
모두 버려 더 이상은
I'll let go of everything and not want anything more
필요 없어 난
I don't need it
이제 너 없이 잠들 수 있어
Now I can sleep without you
너 없는 spotlight
The spotlight without you
빈자리를 비추어
Shines on the empty space
즉 내가 꾸는
In other words, the dreams I have
꿈의 가치를 믿지 못해
I can't believe in the value of my dreams
날 버린 이 현실에 내가 미쳐
I go crazy in this reality where I was abandoned
I'm hot stuff
I'm hot stuff
너 같은 애들이 만나달라고
You and others like you asked to meet me
간청할 때 주는 상처는
The wounds that are given with such pleading
내 나름대로 악하게 살아가는 법
Are part of the way I live, in my own wicked way
계속됐던 이별 후에
After the repeated partings
내게 남은 건
What's left for me
영원할 거란 약속은 결국 없어
Is that the promise of eternity was ultimately a lie
그게 날 여기까지
That's what brought me here
오게 만들었지 매번
It kept happening again and again
네 손으로 직접 놓아버린 날
The day you let go of me with your own hands
두 번 다시는 쳐다도 보지마
Don't look back at me again
네 생각도 나와 같다고 믿을게
I'll believe that you feel the same way about me
그 순간만큼
As much as that moment
그토록 절대 잊지 않겠어
I will never forget as much as possible
함께 하자는 약속
The promise that we would be together
영원토록 (이곳에 간직할게)
I will keep it here forever
잠시 이 길을 홀로 걸어가도
Even if I have to walk this path alone for a while
내 모든 걸 네게 보여줄게
I'll show you everything I have
