멈춰버린 시간
선미 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
눈물이 차오르면서
이건 꿈이라면서
날 속여본다 속여본다
넌 점점 멀어져간다
날 혼자 남겨두고서
흘러간 시간을 찾아
널 찾는다 널 찾는다
나를 바라보던 눈빛
내게 맞추던 네 입술
너의 안에 물들어있던 내가 떠오른다
냉정할수록 선명한
네 흔적에 사로잡혀
이젠 너의 환상 속에 내 몸을 맡긴 채
Woo 멈춰버린 시간 속에 갇힌 난
홀로 텅 빈 방안에 달빛만 보고 있어
Please turn around 널 보여줘
Don't let me down
Woo 멈춰버린 시간을 되돌려줘
기억이 희미해지고
추억이 지워져간다
이건 꿈이라면서
날 달래본다 달래본다
넌 나를 떠나버리고 (돌아와)
난 너를 찾아 헤맨다 (내게로)
길 잃은 아이처럼 난
널 그린다 널 그린다
나를 바라보던 눈빛
내게 맞추던 네 입술
너의 안에 물들어있던 내가 떠오른다
냉정할수록 선명한
네 흔적에 사로잡혀
이젠 너의 환상 속에 내 몸을 맡긴 채
Woo 멈춰버린 시간 속에 갇힌 난
홀로 텅 빈 방안에 달빛만 보고 있어
Please turn around 널 보여줘
Don't let me down
Woo 멈춰버린 시간을 되돌려줘
My time is up 네 흔적에 눈을 감아
내 기억의 조각들이 흩어져가
하나씩 난 널 지워내
너와 나의 사랑은 now it's gone 빛을 잃었어
You and me 멈춰버린 시간
I just hate to see 희미해진 우릴
견딜 수 없어 널 되찾고 싶어
Hey, you know I'm trying hard 널 다시 내게로
Woo 멈춰버린 시간 속에 갇힌 난
홀로 텅 빈 방안에 달빛만 보고 있어
Please turn around 널 보여줘
Don't let me down
Woo 멈춰버린 시간을 되돌려줘
The lyrics to 선미's song "멈춰버린 시간" (literally translated as "Frozen Time") express the feeling of being trapped in a time that seems to have frozen. The song depicts a sense of longing and desperation to turn back time and regain a lost love. The lyrics convey a deep sadness and a desire to be reunited with the person they have lost.
The song begins with the singer feeling their surroundings become blurry and tears welling up in their eyes. They try to convince themselves that it is just a dream, but they are fooling themselves. The person they love is gradually drifting away, leaving them behind. They search for the time that has slipped away in order to find the person they are desperately seeking.
The second verse reflects on the memories and the deep connection the singer had with the person they loved. The more composed they try to be, the clearer their trace remains in their mind. They have surrendered themselves to the fantasy of the past love, as they feel lost and unable to find their way out, like a lost child. They continue to draw the image of the person they long for.

눈 앞이 흐려지면서
As the view in front of my eyes becomes blurry,
눈물이 차오르면서
And tears start to well up,
이건 꿈이라면서
You say this is just a dream,
날 속여본다 속여본다
Deceiving me, deceiving me,
넌 점점 멀어져간다
You're getting farther and farther away,
날 혼자 남겨두고서
Leaving me alone,
흘러간 시간을 찾아
Searching for the time that has passed,
널 찾는다 널 찾는다
I search for you, I search for you
나를 바라보던 눈빛
The gaze that looked at me,
내게 맞추던 네 입술
Your lips that met mine,
너의 안에 물들어있던 내가 떠오른다
I remember myself who used to be inside you
냉정할수록 선명한
The more composed I am, the clearer
네 흔적에 사로잡혀
I am captivated by your traces
이젠 너의 환상 속에 내 몸을 맡긴 채
Now I surrender myself to your fantasy
Woo 멈춰버린 시간 속에 갇힌 난
Woo I'm trapped in the stopped time

Please turn around and show yourself
Don't let me down
Don't disappoint me
Woo 멈춰버린 시간을 되돌려줘
Woo please turn back the stopped time
기억이 희미해지고
Memories become faint
추억이 지워져간다
And reminiscences fade away
이건 꿈이라면서
You say this is just a dream
날 달래본다 달래본다
You try to comfort me, comfort me
넌 나를 떠나버리고
You leave me
난 너를 찾아 헤맨다
I wander searching for you
길 잃은 아이처럼 난
I am like a lost child
널 그린다 널 그린다
I draw you, I draw you
My time is up 네 흔적에 눈을 감아
My time is up, closing my eyes to your traces
내 기억의 조각들이 흩어져가
The pieces of my memories scatter away
하나씩 난 널 지워내
I erase you one by one
너와 나의 사랑은 now it's gone 빛을 잃었어
The love between you and me, now it's gone, it has lost its light
You and me 멈춰버린 시간
You and me, the stopped time
I just hate to see 희미해진 우릴
I just hate to see us becoming faint
견딜 수 없어 널 되찾고 싶어
I can't bear it anymore, I want to get you back
Hey, you know I'm trying hard 널 다시 내게로
Hey, you know I'm trying hard to bring you back to me
Woo 멈춰버린 시간 속에 갇힌 난
Woo I'm trapped in the stopped time

Please turn around and show yourself
Don't let me down
Don't disappoint me
Woo 멈춰버린 시간을 되돌려줘
Woo please turn back the stopped time
