Eye of the Storm
여자친구 Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
시간의 조각들이 나를 스쳐 지나가
한 걸음 걸음 두려움을 감추며
거센 바람 속 비틀거리며 걸어가
이 태풍 속 한 가운데로
멈추지 않을 파도라면 그 속으로
한 걸음 더
Let me out 보내 줘
Let me go 달려가
들려와 침묵의 외침이
Find the way
고요한 약속의 안식처
다시 나를 찾게 해줄
태풍 속의 눈의 시간이야
저 멀리 보여 투명한 내 조각들
눈 속에서 날 만났어 이제야
느껴지는 바람의 방향
잃어버렸던 나의 시간 쏟아져 와
날 일깨워
Let me out 보내 줘
Let me go 달려가
들려와 침묵의 외침이
Find the way
고요한 약속의 안식처
다시 나를 찾게 해줄
태풍 속의 눈의 시간
가만히 두 눈을 떴을 땐
짙은 온기가 날 감싸 안아주고모든 아픈 기억마저
날 더 강하게 일으켜
용기 내 고개를 들고서
쉴 틈 없이 변해간대도
빛을 찾아 한 걸음씩
드디어 찾아낸 나만의 방향과 법칙들
흩어진 내 모든 기억들을 잡아
나의 시간 나의 노래 이젠 네게 들려줄게
날아가 fly to you
너에게 I can go
바람을 거슬러 올라가
Find my way
견뎌낸 모든 날을 지나
나의 중심 나의 세계
너에게로 날아갈 거야
나의 길을 찾아갈 거야
어딘지도 모른 채 달려왔던 거야 난
I ran without knowing where I was going
시간의 조각들이 나를 스쳐 지나가
Fragments of time pass me by
한 걸음 걸음 두려움을 감추며
Step by step, hiding my fear
거센 바람 속 비틀거리며 걸어가
Walking unsteadily in the strong wind
이 태풍 속 한 가운데로
멈추지 않을 파도라면 그 속으로
한 걸음 더
If the waves won't stop in the midst of this typhoon, take one more step into them
Let me out 보내 줘
Let me out, send me away
Let me go 달려가
Let me go, run forward
들려와 침묵의 외침이
Find the way
Hear the silent cries, find the way
고요한 약속의 안식처
다시 나를 찾게 해줄
태풍 속의 눈의 시간이야
The time in the eye of the storm will find me again, providing a peaceful sanctuary
저 멀리 보여 투명한 내 조각들
눈 속에서 날 만났어 이제야
I finally met my transparent pieces far away, in the snow
느껴지는 바람의 방향
잃어버렸던 나의 시간 쏟아져 와
The direction of the wind I feel, pouring my lost time
날 일깨워
Wake me up
가만히 두 눈을 떴을 땐
짙은 온기가 날 감싸 안아주고
When I opened my eyes, a warm embrace surrounded me
모든 아픈 기억마저
날 더 강하게 일으켜
Even all the painful memories make me stronger
용기 내 고개를 들고서
쉴 틈 없이 변해간대도
빛을 찾아 한 걸음씩
With courage, I raise my head and step forward, constantly changing, searching for light
드디어 찾아낸 나만의 방향과 법칙들
흩어진 내 모든 기억들을 잡아
Finally, I found my own direction and rules, gathering all my scattered memories
나의 시간 나의 노래 이젠 네게 들려줄게
My time, my song, now I will let you hear them
날아가 fly to you
너에게 I can go
바람을 거슬러 올라가
Find my way
Fly to you, I can go to you, rise against the wind, find my way
견뎌낸 모든 날을 지나
나의 중심 나의 세계
너에게로 날아갈 거야
After enduring every day, my center, my world, I will fly to you
나의 길을 찾아갈 거야
I will find my own path
