Eternity
13.c.Gilbert Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

잠이 오지 않는 밤 습관처럼 너를 그린다
작은 소리에도 혹시나 네가 흩어질까 겁이 나
'보고 싶었어, 보고 싶었어' 말은 하지 못하고
메마른 한숨을 마신다

머문 자리마다 추억은 태어나고
노래는 그렇게 우리를 다시 이어 붙여
말하지 못한 수많은 그 얘기들은

이제 지난 시간 속에 그대로 놔두고
거기서 자라난 너와의 기억
가만히 가슴에 새겨

누구든 니가 그리울 때 언제라도
여기 영원처럼 남겨진
너의 빛나던 미소 하나하나 다
모두 꺼내서 보여줄 거야

아무 일도 없듯이 나의 시간은 또 흘러가
애써 외면한 빈자리가 커질수록 더 크게 웃어
'괜찮을 거야, 괜찮을 거야' 마음을 달래봐도
자꾸만 커지는 네 모습

머문 자리마다 추억은 태어나고
우리는 그렇게 노래가 되어
말하지 못한 수많은 그 얘기들은
이제 지난 시간 속에 그대로 놔두고
거기서 자라난 너와의 기억
가만히 가슴에 새겨

누구든 니가 그리울 때 언제라도
여기 영원처럼 남겨진
너의 빛나던 미소 하나하나 다
모두 꺼내서 보여줄 거야

이렇게 너를 안아
흘러가는 시간에 맞서 기대어

너를 바라본다
말없이 전하는 너의 마음을
가만히 가슴에 새겨

누구든 니가 그리울 때 언제라도
여기 영원처럼 남겨진
너의 빛나던 미소 하나하나 다

모두 꺼내어 주려 해
네가 흩어지지 않게

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Eternity" by 13.c.Gilbert reflect the emotions and thoughts of the singer during sleepless nights spent reminiscing about someone they miss dearly. The lines convey the habit of drawing the person they long for like a nightly ritual, fearing that even the slightest sound might scatter their image. The singer confesses that they wanted to say how much they missed this person but could only gulp down their dry sighs instead.

Throughout each place they linger, memories are born, and songs stitch them back together again, reconnecting them to the past. Countless untold stories remain buried in the passage of time as they continue to grow alongside the memories of this person, etched quietly in their heart. The song emphasizes the eternal nature of these sentiments, with the promise that whenever one longs for the person they miss, every glistening smile they shared will be brought forth and shown.

As time passes uneventfully, the singer's moments become stronger, an empty space that they struggle to ignore. The more the void grows, the wider they smile, trying to reassure themselves that everything will be okay. Yet, the image of this person keeps getting larger, overpowering their attempts at consolation.

Once again, memories are born wherever they stay, and they become a song that the singer and this person become. The countless untold stories that were left behind are preserved within the past, while the memories that were cultivated there are quietly engraved in their heart. The song reiterates that whenever one yearns for this person, all the radiant smiles they had will be brought out and shared.

In the chorus, the lyrics express the desire to hold onto and preserve the person's memory in eternity. They embrace the person, leaning against the flow of time, and continue to observe them silently, deeply ingraining their feelings in their heart. The aim is to pull out every single smile, as the singer endeavors not to let this person scatter away.
