에일리 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
정신이 나갔었지 너의 자상함에
너의 달콤함에 너의 거짓말에
꿈이 변했었지
유명한 가수보다
좋은 아내가 되려 했지 정말
정말 바보 같았어
노래가 늘었어
너와 헤어지고 나서
음악에 미쳐 살았더니
모든 노래 가사가
내 얘기 같았어 죽도록 불렀어
조금씩 조금씩
차차 눈물이 말라 갔어 ah yeah
눈앞이 캄캄했지 어찌나 힘든지
욕도 많이 했지 속도 다 버렸지
이젠 다 끝났어 난 너 하나를 잃고
더 큰 희망을 얻은 거야
정말 정말 잘 된 일이야
정말 잘된 일이야
노래가 늘었어
너와 헤어지고 나서
음악에 미쳐 살았더니
모든 노래 가사가
내 얘기 같았어 죽도록 불렀어
조금씩 조금씩
차차 눈물이 말라 갔어
언젠가 너에게 연락이 오겠지
그땐 남자답게 축하해 주길 바래
니 덕분이니까 고맙다는 인사
나도 멋지게 준비 해둘게

The lyrics of 에일리's song "Singing Got Better" portray a story of personal growth and transformation following a painful breakup. The singer reflects on her previous state of naivety and infatuation, admitting that she had lost her sense of self in her partner's kindness, sweetness, and lies. She had even aspired to become a better wife than a famous singer. The repetition of the phrase "정말 바보 같았어" (I was such a fool) emphasizes her realization of her own foolishness.
After the breakup, however, the singer found solace in music and poured her emotions into her songs. Singing became a cathartic experience for her, helping her heal and cope with her pain. The lyrics of her songs began to resemble her own story, as she sung them passionately to the point of exhaustion. With each tear shed, her sorrow diminished, signifying her emotional growth and resilience.
The darkness and difficulty that encompassed her life after the breakup are depicted through the lines "눈앞이 캄캄했지 어찌나 힘든지" (The future seemed so dark, it was so difficult). She admits to harboring anger and resentment, feeling completely defeated. However, as the song progresses, she acknowledges that it is all in the past now and that she has moved on, gaining a newfound hope for the future. The lyrics express her gratitude towards her ex-partner, saying that because of him, she obtained a greater sense of purpose and happiness.
Overall, "Singing Got Better" chronicles the singer's journey of self-discovery and empowerment through the healing power of music. It highlights the importance of recognizing one's worth and finding strength in one's passions.
