키 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
밤이 유난히 짧긴 해
한 생각만 가득 찬
풍선처럼 떠 다녀 난
요즘 그래 터질 듯
자꾸 널 생각 하거든
(갑자기 생각 나거든)
허공에 붕 뜬 내 하루
더 길을 잃어 먼 곳까지 가고 싶은 밤
너라는 세상만 이어지니까 oh 난
너에게 빠져
내 맘 forever yours
Forever yours
Forever yours
내 맘 forever yours
Forever yours
Forever yours
내 모든 낮과 밤을 전부 가져 가
꽉 쥐어 줄 때 놓치지 마
Forever yours (oh, forever)
Forever yours (oh, forever)
Forever yours
내 맘 forever yours
살짝 괸 턱, 뚱 한 표정
넌 모든 게 무심 한 듯 해
좋고 싫은 게 확실한 게
선명해 좋아 너의 색
(더 짙게 색 칠해)
엔진이 달라 우린 남들이
가 보지도 않은 곳들이
기다릴 때 더 달리지
매일 새로운 너를 만나
더 헤매이다 쓰러져도 좋을 것 같아
널 닮은 우주가 쏟아지니까 oh 난 믿을 수 없어
내 맘 forever yours
Forever yours
Forever yours
내 맘 forever yours
Forever yours
Forever yours
멈출 수 없어
니 안에선
널 닮은 빛이
가득해 난 ah
더 멀리 떠나듯
네게 빠져들어
지금 니 방의 커튼
말 없이 열어 둬
Yeah, yeah, yeah
내게로 열어 둬
Always
Yeah, yeah, yeah
내 맘 forever yours
Forever yours
Forever yours
내 맘 forever yours
Forever yours
Forever yours
내 모든 낮과 밤을 전부 가져 가
꽉 쥐어 줄 때 놓치지 마
Forever yours (oh, forever)
Forever yours (oh, forever)
Forever yours
내 맘 forever yours
The lyrics of "Forever Yours" by 키 (Key) express a deep infatuation and desire to be connected with someone on a profound level. The singer emphasizes how the nights feel unusually short when they are deeply immersed in their thoughts, constantly thinking about this person who fills their mind like a floating balloon. Despite feeling like they may burst with these overwhelming thoughts, they actually enjoy the sensation of being consumed by them.
The singer longs for a night where they can lose themselves and wander to distant places, as long as they can continue the connection with the person they are infatuated with. The phrase "너라는 세상만 이어지니까" translates to "because only your world continues," implying that as long as they are with this person, it does not matter where they end up.
The chorus repeats the statement "내 맘 forever yours" which translates to "my heart forever yours." It conveys the singer's desire to completely surrender themselves to the other person, holding onto every moment they have and never letting go. The repetition of "Forever yours" emphasizes the eternal nature of this connection.
The next verse describes the person's demeanor, with their slightly tilted chin and nonchalant expression. Despite their seemingly indifferent attitude towards everything, the singer finds comfort in how clear and decisive they are about what they like and dislike. The phrase "선명해 좋아 너의 색" translates to "clearly, I like your color," implying that the person's unique qualities are attractive to the singer.
The lyric "엔진이 달라 우린 남들이 가 보지도 않은 곳들이 기다릴 때 더 달리지" suggests that the singer and the person they are infatuated with are different from others. They are willing to go places that others haven't seen and run faster when others hesitate. This showcases their adventurous spirit and willingness to take risks.
The bridge of the song describes the thrill of encountering the person every day and the willingness to go through hardships just to see them. The singer believes that the universe pours out energy similar to the person they adore, which makes them unable to believe their luck in having such a connection.
Overall, "Forever Yours" by 키 expresses a deep longing to be forever connected to someone, surrendering their heart and cherishing every moment with them. The lyrics convey the singer's infatuation, admiration for the person's unique qualities, and their willingness to go on daring adventures together. It portrays a strong desire for an everlasting bond with the one they love.
