Awake
방탄소년단 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

믿는 게 아냐
버텨보는 거야
할 수 있는 게
나 이것뿐이라서

머물고 싶어
더 꿈꾸고 싶어
그래도 말야
떠날 때가 됐는걸

Yeah it's my truth
It's my truth
온통 상처투성이겠지
But it's my fate (ooh ah)
It's my fate (ooh ah)
그래도 발버둥치고 싶어 (ooh)

Maybe I, I can never fly
저기 저 꽃잎들처럼
날갤 단 것처럼은 안 돼
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
그래도 손 뻗고 싶어
달려보고 싶어 조금 더

이 어둠 속을 그냥 걷고 또 걷고 있어
행복했던 시간들이 내게 물었어
너 넌 정말 괜찮은 거냐고
Oh no, ayy
난 대답했어 아니 나는 너무 무서워
그래도 여섯 송이 꽃을 손에 꼭 쥐고
나 난 걷고 있을 뿐이라고
Oh no

But it's my fate
It's my fate (ooh ah)
그래도 발버둥치고 싶어 (ooh)

Maybe I, I can never fly
저기 저 꽃잎들처럼
날갤 단 것처럼은 안 돼 yeah
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
그래도 손 뻗고 싶어
달려보고 싶어 조금 더

Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
Don't cry (cry, cry)
Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
No lie (no lie, no lie, no lie, yeah)
Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
Don't cry (don't cry, don't cry)
Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
No lie (lie, lie)

Maybe I, I can never fly
저기 저 꽃잎들처럼
날갤 단 것처럼은 안 돼 yeah
Maybe I, I can't touch the sky
그래도 손 뻗고 싶어




달려보고 싶어
