Do you wanna know my story?
I never told this to anybody
Yeah, come on
이 넓은 바다 그 한가운데
한 마리 고래가 나즈막히 외롭게 말을 해
아무리 소리쳐도 닿지 않는 게
아무렴 어때 뭐가
됐던 이젠 뭐 I don't care
외로움이란 녀석만 내 곁에서 머물 때
온전히 혼자가 돼 외로이 채우는 자물쇠
누군 말해 새끼 연예인 다 됐네
Oh fuck that, 그래 뭐 어때 누군가 곁에
머물 수 없다 한대도 그걸로 족해
날 향해 쉽게 얘기하는 이 말은 곧 벽이 돼
외로움조차 니들 눈엔 척이 돼, come on
그 벽에 갇혀서
내 숨이 막혀도
저 수면 위를 향해 hey oh oh, hey oh yeah
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
이렇게 혼자 노래불러
외딴 섬 같은 나도
밝게 빛날 수 있을까
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
이렇게 또 한 번 불러봐
대답 없는 이 노래가
내일에 닿을 때까지
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
끝없는 무전 하나 언젠가 닿을 거야
저기 지구 반대편까지 다
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
눈먼 고래들조차 날 볼 수 있을 거야
오늘도 다시 노래하지 나
세상은 절대로 몰라
내가 얼마나 슬픈지를
내 아픔은 섞일 수 없는 물과 기름
그저 난 수면 위에서만
숨을 쉴 때 관심 끝 외로운 바닷속 꼬마
나도 알리고 싶네 내 가치를 everyday
걱정의 멀미를 해 늘 스티커는 귀 밑에
Never end, 왜 끝은 없고 매번 hell
시간이 가도 차가운 심연 속의 Neverland (Neverland)
But 늘 생각해
지금 새우잠 자더라도 꿈은 고래답게
다가올 큰 칭찬이 매일 춤을 추게 할거야
나답게 Ye I'm swimmin'
내 미래를 향해 가
저 푸른 바다와
내 헤르츠를 믿어 hey oh, oh hey, oh yeah
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
이렇게 혼자 노래불러
외딴 섬 같은 나도
밝게 빛날 수 있을까
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
이렇게 또 한 번 불러봐
대답 없는 이 노래가
내일에 닿을 때까지
어머니는 바다가 푸르다 하셨어
멀리 힘껏 니 목소릴 내라 하셨어
그런데 어떡하죠 여긴 너무 깜깜하고
온통 다른 말을 하는 다른 고래들 뿐인데 I just can't hold it ma
사랑한다 말하고 싶어
혼자 하는 돌림 노래
같은 악보 위를 되짚어
이 바다는 너무 깊어
그래도 난 다행인 걸
(눈물 나도 아무도 모를테니)
I'm a whalien
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
이렇게 혼자 노래불러
외딴 섬 같은 나도
밝게 빛날 수 있을까
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
이렇게 또 한 번 불러봐
대답 없는 이 노래가
내일에 닿을 때까지
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
끝없는 무전 하나 언젠가 닿을 거야
저기 지구 반대편까지 다
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
눈먼 고래들조차 난 볼 수 있을 거야
오늘도 다시 노래하지 나
"Whalien 52" by BTS is a song that tells the story of a lonely creature, symbolized by a whale, who shares its story with the listener. The lyrics convey a sense of isolation and longing for connection.
The first verse describes the whale's loneliness in the vast ocean. Despite its desperate cries, no one can hear or understand its pain. The whale accepts its solitude, saying that it doesn't care anymore if it can't be with someone. The loneliness becomes a constant presence, turning into a barrier that prevents any comfort from reaching the whale.
The chorus expresses the whale's desire to be heard and seen. It sings its lonely song, hoping to shine brightly like an island in the distance. The whale yearns for its voice to reach someone, even if there is no response. It believes that someday, its message will travel far across the ocean, reaching the other side of the Earth.
The second verse continues to emphasize the whale's invisible pain. The whale feels misunderstood and unseen by other whales, who speak different languages. It confesses that it loves someone but can't express it properly. The whale's song becomes a way for it to let out its emotions and reminisce about happier times, even though the ocean feels unfathomably deep.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics mention a mother's comments about the beauty of the sea and asking the whale to call out with all its might. However, the whale is surrounded by darkness and other whales who speak differently, causing frustration. Despite all this, the whale still wants to declare its love and sing its lonely song, knowing that it is fortunate to conceal its tears because no one will notice.
In conclusion, "Whalien 52" is a poignant and introspective song about the loneliness and longing for connection experienced by a creature in the vast ocean. It explores themes of isolation, the desire for understanding, and the struggles of communicating one's true emotions. The lyrics evoke empathy for the whale's plight and remind listeners of the universal human experiences of loneliness and the search for companionship.

The most lonely creature in the world, eh
I am the loneliest being in existence
Do you wanna know my story?
Would you like to hear about my experiences?
I never told this to anybody
I have never shared this with anyone
Yeah, come on
Yes, let's proceed
In the middle of the vast ocean
Amidst the expansive sea
A lonely whale speaks quietly
A solitary whale speaks softly
No matter how loud I shout, it doesn't reach
Despite my loud cries, they do not reach anyone
Unbearably lonely, silently shutting my mouth
Painfully alone, sealing my mouth in silence
Does it even matter?
Does it make a difference?
Now I don't care about anything
I am indifferent to everything now
When loneliness stays by my side
When even loneliness becomes my companion
Becoming completely alone, filling it up in solitude
Turning completely solitary, filling the void alone
Someone said I've become a celebrity
Someone mentioned that I've achieved fame
Oh, fuck that, yeah, so what if someone is by my side
Oh, disregard that, it doesn't matter if someone is with me
Even if I can't stay with anyone, that's enough
Even if I cannot remain with anyone, it satisfies me
Words spoken easily towards me become walls
Words casually spoken to me turn into barriers
Even loneliness appears fake in your eyes, come on
Even the loneliness seems pretentious in your perspective, come on
Trapped behind that wall
Confined behind that barrier
Even if my breath is choked
Even if I struggle to breathe
Towards the surface of the water, hey oh oh, hey oh yeah
Towards the surface of the water, hey oh oh, hey oh yeah
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
Solitary, solitary, solitary whale
Singing alone like this
Singing alone in this manner
Can even an isolated island like me
Can even someone as secluded as me
Shine brightly
Radiate brightness
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
Solitary, solitary, solitary whale
Sing again like this
Sing again in this way
This unanswered song
This unanswered song
Until it reaches tomorrow
Until it reaches tomorrow
No more, no more baby
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
No more, no more
One endless radio transmission will someday reach
One endless radio transmission will eventually reach
All the way to the opposite side of the Earth
All the way to the opposite side of the Earth
No more, no more baby
No more, no more baby
No more, no more
No more, no more
Even blind whales will be able to see me
Even blind whales will be able to see me
Today, I will sing again
Today, I will sing again
The world will never know
The world will never know
How sad I am
The extent of my sadness
My pain is like water and oil that cannot blend
My pain is like water and oil, unable to mix
I just exist on the surface
I only exist on the surface
Taking a breath, a lonely underwater child
Breathing, a lonesome child beneath the water
I also want to reveal my worth every day
I also want to showcase my value every day
Overcoming the nausea of worry, always with a sticker under my ear
Overcoming the anxiety, always with a sticker under my ear
Never end, why is there no end and every time is hell
Never end, why is there no end and every time is hell
Even as time passes, the cold abyss of Neverland
Even as time passes, the frigid abyss of Neverland
But I always think
But I always think
Even if I take a nap like a shrimp, I dream like a whale
Even if I take a nap like a shrimp, I dream like a whale
The upcoming big praise will make me dance every day
The forthcoming tremendous accolade will make me dance every day
I swim, true to myself, ye I'm swimmin'
I swim, staying true to myself, yes I am swimming
Going towards my future
Heading towards my future
With the blue ocean
With the blue ocean
Believing in my heart, hey oh, oh hey, oh yeah
Believing in my heart, hey oh, oh hey, oh yeah
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
Solitary, solitary, solitary whale
Singing alone like this
Singing alone in this way
Can even an isolated island like me
Can even someone as secluded as me
Shine brightly
Radiate brightness
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
Solitary, solitary, solitary whale
Sing again like this
Sing again in this way
This unanswered song
This unanswered song
Until it reaches tomorrow
Until it reaches tomorrow
Mother said the sea is blue
Mother said the sea is blue
She told me to loudly raise my voice
She instructed me to raise my voice loudly
But what do I do here? It's too dark
But what do I do here? It's too dark
All that surrounds me is other whales speaking different words, but I just can't hold it, ma
All that surrounds me are other whales speaking different words, but I just can't hold it, ma
I want to say I love you
I want to say I love you
A solitary serenade
A solitary serenade
Tracing the same sheet of music
Recalling the same sheet of music
This sea is too deep
This sea is too deep
But still, I am fortunate
But still, I am fortunate
(Even if tears fall, no one will know)
(Even if tears fall, no one will know)
I'm a whalien
I'm a whalien
Lonely, lonely, lonely whale
Solitary, solitary, solitary whale
Singing alone like this
Singing alone in this way
Can even an isolated island like me
Can even someone as secluded as me

No more, no more
Even blind whales will be able to see me
Even blind whales will be able to see me
Today, I will sing again
Today, I will sing again
