Red
A/J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

달려오는 기찻길 정말 위태롭게
티끌 하나 놓치지 마 괜한 실수 땜에
놓쳐 버리기 싫어 꽉 쥔 손은 미끄러질까 봐
다시 가방 고쳐 매 난 또 여기에 와 있어

삐딱선 거기까지만 더는 넘지 마
내 감정의 가난을 누가 알아줄 리가
허기진 배로 날려버려 tko
뜨거운 숨을 미끼로 건져 올려 on tomorrow

내 갈 길은 오르막
늘 제자리걸음만
끝이 안 보이는
어두컴컴한 밤이야

막 도착했어 미련 없이
땀방울 따윈 이미 다 식어서
잠시만 멈춰 이제 빨간 불

나나나 turn on the red light
많은 문제들이 겹쳐도
(Oh, whoa) 그대로 있어 줘 oh

나나나 turn on the red light (red light)
어차피 영원할 순 없어도
돌아본다면 다 지나간 듯 희미해져

어릴 적 내 나이 스물쯤
단단했던 믿음에 금이 가기 시작해서
와닿은 것은 대부분 다리 위에
써진 글귀보다 따뜻했던 품
해는 지고 또 떠 가라앉은 기분

지나가는 기차를 세며
묻지 같은 시선에 뭉개져 버린 어린 눈빛
높은 빌딩 수놓은 야경이
약 오르지만 멈춘 달력을
다시 찢어 tomorrow

내 갈 길은 오르막
늘 제자리걸음만
끝이 안 보이는
어두컴컴한 밤이야

막 도착했어 미련 없이
땀방울 따윈 이미 다 식어서
잠시만 멈춰 이제 빨간 불

나나나 turn on the red light
많은 문제들이 겹쳐도
Oh 그대로 있어 줘 oh

나나나 turn on the red light
어차피 영원할 순 없어도
돌아본다면 다 지나간 듯 희미해져

해가 지는 동안
한순간이지만 내게 기대
그대로만 멈춰도 돼
네 마음의 불을 꺼줘

어디에 빠져 있든
너는 아무 문제가 없듯
다시 널 찾을 테니

나나나 turn on the red light
많은 문제들이 겹쳐도
Oh 그대로 있어 줘 oh

나나나 turn on the red light
어차피 영원할 순 없어도
돌아본다면 다 지나간 듯

Red light 잠깐 멈춰
내가 갈 수 있게 너의 맘을 알려줘
Red light 잠깐 멈춰
지금 갈게 right right right now

나나나 turn on the red light




어차피 영원할 순 없어도
돌아본다면 다 지나간 듯 흐릿해져

Overall Meaning

The song "Red" by A/J consists of lyrics that speak about perseverance and determination in the face of hardship. The opening lines speak about the precariousness of a train track and the need to hold on tightly to avoid making mistakes. The artist speaks about being aware of the challenges on the path ahead and the importance of focusing on the journey, despite the difficult terrain. The chorus encourages someone to "turn on the red light" and face difficult problems head-on, rather than avoiding them. The message is that the challenges of life may be tough, but one can still move forward with strength and courage.


The second verse of the song speaks about the artist's experiences in their youth and the things they found to be important then. They reflect on the notion of trusting in one's abilities and the difficulties that arise when that trust wanes. The artist speaks about the things they found comforting, like the warmth of a hug or the sight of a nighttime cityscape. They reflect on the passing of time and the memories that remain.


"Red" is a reflective and thought-provoking song about the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity. A/J's lyrics paint a picture of someone who faces difficult obstacles, but never gives up or gives in. The "red light" becomes a metaphor for facing problems head-on and not shying away from things that may be tough to deal with.

Running train tracks are really precarious


티끌 하나 놓치지 마 괜한 실수 땜에

삐딱선 거기까지만 더는 넘지 마
Don't cross the line any further


내 감정의 가난을 누가 알아줄 리가
Who would understand my emotional poverty


허기진 배로 날려버려 tko
Knock out with a hungry stomach


뜨거운 숨을 미끼로 건져 올려 on tomorrow
I'll take a deep breath and strive on tomorrow


내 갈 길은 오르막
My path is uphill


늘 제자리걸음만
Always in the same place


끝이 안 보이는
Can't see the end


어두컴컴한 밤이야
It's a dark night


막 도착했어 미련 없이
Just arrived without hesitation


땀방울 따윈 이미 다 식어서
Sweat has already dried up


잠시만 멈춰 이제 빨간 불
Just pause now, the red light is on


나나나 turn on the red light
Na Na Na turn on the red light

Even if many problems overlap

Even if it can't last forever


돌아본다면 다 지나간 듯 희미해져
If you look back, it seems to have faded away


어릴 적 내 나이 스물쯤
When I was about twenty years old


단단했던 믿음에 금이 가기 시작해서
The firm belief began to waver


와닿은 것은 대부분 다리 위에
What reached me was mostly written on the bridge


써진 글귀보다 따뜻했던 품
Warmer than the words written there


해는 지고 또 떠 가라앉은 기분
The feeling of the sun setting and disappearing again


지나가는 기차를 세며
Counting passing trains


묻지 같은 시선에 뭉개져 버린 어린 눈빛
The innocent look crushed by questioning stares


높은 빌딩 수놓은 야경이
The night view covered with tall buildings


약 오르지만 멈춘 달력을
When the calendar stopped despite the rising year


다시 찢어 tomorrow
Tear it up again, tomorrow


해가 지는 동안
While the sun sets


한순간이지만 내게 기대
Lean on me for just a moment


그대로만 멈춰도 돼
You can just stay still


네 마음의 불을 꺼줘
Turn off the fire in your heart


어디에 빠져 있든
No matter where you're stuck


너는 아무 문제가 없듯
You seem to have no problems


다시 널 찾을 테니
I'll look for you again


Red light 잠깐 멈춰
Red light, stop for a moment


내가 갈 수 있게 너의 맘을 알려줘
Let me know your heart so I can go


지금 갈게 right right right now
I'm going right, right, right now


돌아본다면 다 지나간 듯 흐릿해져
If you look back, it seems to have faded away
