Sun
BLUE PAPRIKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
모두 눈앞에서 멀어지고
바람처럼 흩어져가네
널 사랑했던 날들도
눈을 감는 순간 사라지고
다가가도 잡을 수 없네
부서진 내 맘 이제는 감출 수 없어
지나간 시간 돌아갈 수는 없다고
이제는 그만 조용히 잠들고 싶어
날 둘러싸던 모든 게
안개처럼 흐려지고
눈을 떠도 볼 수가 없네
어제의 태양 텅 빈 내 맘을 비추고
부서진 내 맘 이제는 감출 수 없어
지나간 시간 돌아갈 수는 없다고
이제는 그만 조용히 잠들고 싶어
시간은 내게 그만 잊으라 말하지
하지만 나는 여전히 꿈꾸고 싶어
The lyrics above are from BLUE PAPRIKA's song Sun in 2. The song talks about the singer's dreams and love that are fading away from their reach like wind. The singer has lost everything they had in life, and they cannot forget their past lover and the memories they shared. The past cannot be undone, and the singer wants to sleep quietly and forget everything that happened.
The lyrics "내 전부였던 꿈들이" (my dreams that were everything to me) give insight into how important those dreams were to the singer. It could be that they have lost sight of their goals or have given up on them entirely because they aren't realistic. The line "널 사랑했던 날들도" (the days I loved you) shows that the singer is holding onto the past, and even though the days are gone, the love still lingers. The lyrics "어제의 태양 텅 빈 내 맘을 비추고" (the sun of yesterday shines on my empty heart) convey the emptiness that the singer feels.
The song's overall tone is melancholic and somber, reflecting the sense of loss that the singer is going through. The singer has come to terms with the reality that time cannot be turned back, and they will have to live with the consequences of their past choices. The final lyrics "하지만 나는 여전히 꿈꾸고 싶어" (but I still want to dream) show that even though the singer is tired and has lost everything, there is still a glimmer of hope and desire to dream and move forward.

내 전부였던 꿈들이
All my dreams that were my everything
모두 눈앞에서 멀어지고
Are all slipping away in front of my eyes
바람처럼 흩어져가네
Scattered like the wind
널 사랑했던 날들도
The days I loved you
눈을 감는 순간 사라지고
Disappear as soon as I close my eyes
다가가도 잡을 수 없네
I can't catch them even if I try to approach
어제의 태양 텅 빈 내 맘을 비추고
Yesterday's sun shines upon my empty heart
부서진 내 맘 이제는 감출 수 없어
My broken heart can no longer be hidden
지나간 시간 돌아갈 수는 없다고
I know that the time that passed cannot be turned back
이제는 그만 조용히 잠들고 싶어
Now, I just want to silently fall asleep
날 둘러싸던 모든 게
Everything that surrounded me
안개처럼 흐려지고
Becomes hazy like fog
눈을 떠도 볼 수가 없네
I can't see even if I try to open my eyes
시간은 내게 그만 잊으라 말하지
Time keeps telling me to forget
하지만 나는 여전히 꿈꾸고 싶어
But I still want to dream
