Sweet lies
Baek A Yeon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
언제 밥 한번 먹자
좋아 좋아
난 오늘도 기다려
더 예뻐진 것 같네
뭐가 이리 달콤해
so sweet so sweet
(빠라밤 빠라밤 빠라밥 빠라밥 빠라밤)
이번에는 진심이 맞죠
거짓말 아니죠 진짜 보는 거죠
(거짓말이라도 일단은 삼키고 볼래요)
맘이 썩는 것도 아닌데 뭐 어때
빈말이라도 난 좋아
빈말이라도 난 좋아
그 말 한마디를 잡고 며칠은 꿈꿀 수 있어
몇 마디라도 난 좋아
몇 마디라도 난 좋아
내 하룰 열고 하룰 닫는 말 그 말
담에 한번 보자고
말한 게 언제 인지
몰라 몰라
난 오늘 또 기다려
점점 더 예뻐진대
그 말만 열두 번째
싫어 싫어
저 영혼 없는 말투
(빠라밤 빠라밤 빠라밥 빠라밥 빠라밤)
이번에도 진심 아니죠
거짓말인 거죠 이젠 안 속아요
(달콤한 말들만 삼키고 삼켰던 내 맘이)
까맣게 썩어가는 줄도 모르고
빈말이 난 이젠 싫어
빈말이 난 이제 싫어
그 말 한마디를 잡고 밤새 헛된 꿈꾸게 해
빈말 이젠 정말 싫어
빈말 이젠 정말 싫어
텅텅 빈 하트같이 공허한 그 말
빈말 한마디로 하룰 버티던 나인데
어느새 기대가 커지고 커져서
툭툭 뱉고 사라진 널 미워하게 된 건
내가 변한 걸까
내 욕심이 커져버린 걸까
빈말이 난 이젠 싫어
빈말이 난 이제 싫어
그 말 한마디를 잡고 밤새 헛된 꿈꾸게 해
빈말 이젠 정말 싫어
빈말 이젠 정말 싫어
텅텅 빈 하트같이 공허한 그 말
The song "달콤한 빈말" by Baek A Yeon is a playful and lighthearted take on the idea of sweet lies. The lyrics express the joy and anticipation of waiting for a loved one, even if their promises are empty and insincere. The chorus repeats the phrase "빈말이라도 난 좋아" (I like empty words) to emphasize the idea that sometimes we are willing to accept less than the truth if it makes us feel good.
The first verse sets the scene of a couple making plans to see each other soon, with the singer expressing their excitement for the moment to arrive. The second verse acknowledges that the singer knows they are being lied to but is willing to overlook it in exchange for the comfort and fleeting happiness the lies provide. The bridge of the song sees a change in tone, with the singer realizing they have grown tired of this cycle of empty promises and feeling hurt by the insincerity of their loved one.
Overall, "달콤한 빈말" is a catchy and upbeat commentary on the idea that sometimes the lies we tell ourselves and others can be sweeter than the truth.

빈말 한마디로 하룰 버티던 나인데
I used to hold onto empty words to get through my day
어느새 기대가 커지고 커져서
But before I knew it, my expectations became bigger and bigger
툭툭 뱉고 사라진 널 미워하게 된 건
And then you disappeared after sweet talking me, it made me hate you
내가 변한 걸까
Have I changed
내 욕심이 커져버린 걸까
Or have my desires gotten bigger
빈말이 난 이젠 싫어
Now I hate empty words
빈말이 난 이제 싫어
Now I hate empty words
그 말 한마디를 잡고 밤새 헛된 꿈꾸게 해
Holding onto those words all night makes me dream empty dreams
빈말 이젠 정말 싫어
I really hate empty words now
빈말 이젠 정말 싫어
I really hate empty words now
텅텅 빈 하트같이 공허한 그 말
That empty, hollow phrase, like a heart without feeling.

p.s. why do i relate so much with her song? i don't even have a boyfriend ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Orga Brahma Basumatary
jaebum slays Queen of relatable songs
Congratulations
Neither does she - that's why! She's the everygirl who wants romance but gets let down. Her songs are always hopeful and longing but as she grows up she's starting to realise it's not all roses and unlike being solemn before she's seemingly more bold and honest about it. I love her.
