Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

나를 처음 봤을 땐
눈도 못 땠었던
너 uh uh uh uh 너 uh uh uh uh
쉽다고 싫다며 뒤에서
내 얘길 해 Eh eh eh eh why
매일 내 목소리에 춤을
추고 웃고 바라보던 넌
이제 내 목소리도
듣기 싫다고서 등을 돌리고 있어

미치겠어 나 이제 끝났대
더 이상은 내 자리가 없대
내 목소릴 높여줘 높여줘 높여줘
이 음악을 더 크게 everybody time to rock

다 치우고 Pump up the volume! (up up)
듣기 싫어 Pump up the volume! (up up)
갈수록 더 변해질 거야 ah
독하게 eh eh eh oh 더

Uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh oh 더
Uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh

제대로 날 한 번 봐준 적 없었던
너 uh uh uh uh 너 uh uh uh uh
내가 뭘 하던지 관심조차 없던
Hey eh eh eh eh why

매일 내 가슴만 더
조여오게 하는 너의 시선이
이제 내 가슴에 더
상처로 남아서 나를 감춰버렸어

미치겠어 나 이제 끝났대
더 이상은 내 자리가 없대
내 목소릴 높여줘 높여줘 높여줘
이 음악을 더 크게 everybody time to rock

다 치우고 pump up the volume! (up up)
듣기 싫어 pump up the volume! (up up)
갈수록 더 변해질 거야 ah
독하게 eh eh eh oh 더

Uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh oh 더
Uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh

넌 모를 거야 나를 잘 알 수 없겠지
아무것도 모르고 내 앞에서 그렇게
Lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie

다 치우고 pump up the volume! (up up)
듣기 싫어 pump up the volume! (up up)
갈수록 더 변해질 거야
독하게 eh eh eh oh 더

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Volume Up" by 4minute talk about a girl who fell in love with a guy who used to enjoy spending time with her every day until recently when he started ignoring her and turning away every time she speaks. She feels hurt and frustrated, and believes that she is being treated unfairly. She asks him to turn up the volume for her, meaning that she wants him to hear what she has to say and pay attention to her once again. She also wants to turn up the volume of the music to escape from her pain and forget about her problems. The chorus of the song is an expression of her feelings of frustration and her longing to be noticed again.


The verses switch between the girl's situations where the first verse refers to the time when she first met the guy and how she was enthralled by him, and the second verse talks about how he started to ignore her and how she now feels hurt because of him. The pre-chorus leads to the chorus, where she wants him to hear her and the music's volume louder.

나를 처음 봤을 땐
When you first saw me


눈도 못 땠었던
You couldn't even look at me


너 uh uh uh uh 너 uh uh uh uh
You, uh uh uh uh, you, uh uh uh uh


쉽다고 싫다며 뒤에서
Behind my back, saying it's easy and unpleasant


내 얘길 해 Eh eh eh eh why
Talking about me, eh eh eh eh why


매일 내 목소리에 춤을
Dancing to my voice every day


추고 웃고 바라보던 넌
You, who laughed and looked at me


이제 내 목소리도
Now, even my voice


듣기 싫다고서 등을 돌리고 있어
You're turning your back because you don't want to hear it


미치겠어 나 이제 끝났대
I'm going crazy, it's over for me now


더 이상은 내 자리가 없대
I don't have a place anymore


내 목소릴 높여줘 높여줘 높여줘
Raise my voice higher, higher, higher


이 음악을 더 크게 everybody time to rock
This music, louder, everybody time to rock


다 치우고 Pump up the volume! (up up)
Clear everything and pump up the volume! (up up)


듣기 싫어 Pump up the volume! (up up)
I don't want to listen, pump up the volume! (up up)


갈수록 더 변해질 거야 ah
It'll keep changing more and more, ah


독하게 eh eh eh oh 더
Harshly, eh eh eh oh, more


제대로 날 한 번 봐준 적 없었던
You never properly looked at me


내가 뭘 하던지 관심조차 없던
You didn't care about anything I did


Hey eh eh eh eh why
Hey, eh eh eh why


매일 내 가슴만 더
Every day, only making my heart tighter


조여오게 하는 너의 시선이
Your gaze that makes it tighten


이제 내 가슴에 더
Now, even in my heart


상처로 남아서 나를 감춰버렸어
It remains as a wound and conceals me


넌 모를 거야 나를 잘 알 수 없겠지
You probably don't know, you can't understand me


아무것도 모르고 내 앞에서 그렇게
Ignorant, like that in front of me


Lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie


Lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie


Lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie
