저 멀리 나뒹구는 베개와 침대 밑 이불이 내 작품
큰 입 덥석 물리곤 나올 줄 모르는 칫솔과
한 잎만 떨어져도 금방 티나는 앙상한 화초
정말 아름다운 건 내가 선 곳에 있는데
미처 발견 못하고 지나치는 사람들
다소 식상해 보였던 것 안에
마치 한 잔의 쉐이크처럼
잊은 듯 아무렇지 않은 척해도 쓰린 사랑의 아픔
아무 이유 없이 반항하곤 했던 사춘기의 질풍
큰 잎이 떨어지면 고개를 내밀던 가을과
한 닢의 동전도 소중했던
어린 시절 나의 친구들과의 추억
정말 아름다운 건 내가 선 곳에 있는데
미처 발견 못하고 지나치는 사람들
다소 식상해 보였던 것 안에
혹은 당연한 일상을 돌아본다면
마치 한 잔의 쉐이크처럼
Shake it shake it oh shake it shake it (shake it!)
Shake it shake it oh like glass of shake it shake it
Shake it shake it oh shake it shake it (shake it!)
Shake it shake it oh like glass of shake it shake it
쉴 틈 없는 달리기에 못 보고 간 꽃들
빈틈없는 지하철에서 옮아 온 고뿔
어쩌면 이런 사소한 것에서 세상이 달라지는지도 몰라
The lyrics of "Every Little Thing" by Akdong Musician are gentle and introspective, exploring the beauty in the everyday moments that are often overlooked. The song begins with the singer acknowledging the mundanity of their day-to-day life, with a tired yawn and a description of the objects scattered around their room. Yet, despite the familiarity of these things, the singer finds value in them; the bed and pillow in the distance are their "artwork," and even the toothbrush and potted plant beside them hold a delicate beauty. The chorus asks the listener to pay attention to the little details in life, as these are the things that can make it worthwhile: "The truly beautiful thing is where I stand / the people who pass by without noticing / Within what seemed a bit dull / or a routine of daily life / like a sip of a shake."
The second verse expands on this idea, describing the painful memories of lost love and the intense emotions of adolescence, "the storm of rebellion." Even these difficult memories can hold value, though, as they are a part of who the singer is and the experiences that have shaped them. The final refrain reminds the listener to shake off their preconceptions and see the world in a new light, with open eyes and a willingness to appreciate the small moments: "Shake it shake it oh like glass of shake it shake it / Possibly, in these little things, the world might change."
Overall, "Every Little Thing" encourages its audience to find beauty in the mundane, to stop and appreciate the small details of life that are so easily overlooked. In doing so, we see the world in a different way, with greater appreciation and perhaps even a sense of joy.
