Hang On
조유리 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Hah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah
아무렇지 않은 듯 하루를 넘겨보려 해도
밤새 전활 걸고서 기다려 니가 대답하길
하지만 또 fail again 혼자 남은 이 기분 feel ashamed
안 되는 건 알지만 남겨둬 twenty-seven missed calls
I still can't believe
니가 내 옆에 없단 걸
알면서도
Please pick up the phone 끝없는 hanging
One, two, three 다시 불러줘 my name, oh-oh
Don't leave me alone 외쳐도 텅 빈 메아리만
넌 받지 않아, 아직도 hanging on
뭐해? 어디야? 누구랑?
말해 봐 everything that I had
시작한 건 너였어
Baby, but now I don't care at all
몇 번이고 감았다 뜬 눈 서늘히 텅 빈 온기도
사랑이라 믿을게 thirty-two texts 'til you call me back
I still can't believe
이런 내가 참 우습지
모른 척 또
Please pick up the phone 끝없는 hanging
One, two, three 다시 불러줘 my name, oh-oh
Don't leave me alone 외쳐도 텅 빈 메아리만
넌 받지 않아, 아직도 hanging on
Yeah, baby, I am
Hmm-mm
아직도 잠에 들면
예전 우리 행복한 그때가 보여
다시 우리 handle this better
'Cause we always 느껴 함께란 걸 oh-oh
Please pick up the phone 끝없는 hanging, oh-oh
One, two, three 다시 니 번호를 눌러 oh-oh
Don't leave me alone 외쳐도 텅 빈 메아리만
You hang up the phone 아직도 hanging on
In the song "Hang On" by 조유리, the lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil of waiting for a response from a loved one who seems distant. The singer expresses the frustration of trying to carry on as if everything is normal but feeling the weight of unanswered calls and messages. Despite knowing that the situation is unlikely to change, they can't help but hold on to hope, as evidenced by the repeated failed attempts to reach out.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the desperation of wanting the other person to pick up the phone, to end the endless waiting and uncertainty. The singer pleads for a connection, for acknowledgment from the person they are desperately trying to reach, even though it seems like their cries for attention are falling on deaf ears. The loneliness and emptiness of unreciprocated efforts are palpable in these lines, highlighting the feelings of rejection and abandonment.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation. The singer questions the validity of their own emotions, feeling foolish for still holding out hope despite the repeated disappointments. The repeated attempts to reach out and the unanswered messages serve as a painful reminder of the distance between them and the futility of their efforts to bridge that gap.
The final verse of the song introduces a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, for the happiness and closeness that once existed between the singer and their partner. Despite the challenges and the current struggles, there is a yearning to recapture that connection and to handle the situation better this time around. The song concludes with a bittersweet acknowledgment of the ongoing struggle to let go and move on, to stop hanging on to something that may never be restored.
