Beast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hah, let me talk about ma'

차갑게 돌아선 뒷모습에 시간이 잠시 멈춘 듯 해
하얗게 돼버린 머릿속엔 널 잡아야 돼 아니 널 보내야 돼
Oh 널 잊고 살던 널 잊지 못해 울던 나
될 대로 되라지 나도 날 잘 몰라

잊어볼래 니가 돌아서면 난 다신 잡지 않을래
(니가 한 번만 한 번만 다시 또) 생각해 달란 말에
더는 고민 안 할래 이제 너를 버릴래

가지 마 나를 떠나가진 마 몇 번을 생각해 봐도
내가 너를 잊기는 힘들 것 같아 잊을 수 없을 것 같아

I can't take my breath breath breath
시간이 갈수록 점점 지나갈수록 oh 난 더
I can't hold my breath breath breath
갈수록 나는 더 자꾸만 내 숨이 막혀 와 내 숨이 yeah

Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out

지워볼래 니 자린 이제 없어 돌아올 곳도 없어
(니가 내게 더 내게 더 오면) 난 더 멀어져 갈 거야
이제 좀 비켜줄래 나는 너를 버릴래

하지 마 돌아서려 하진 마 아무리 생각해 봐도
정말 너를 지우긴 힘들 것 같아 정말 미칠 것 같아

I can't take my breath breath breath
시간이 갈수록 점점 지나갈수록 oh 난 더
I can't hold my breath breath breath
갈수록 나는 더 자꾸만 내 숨이 막혀 와 내 숨이 yeah

Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out

I don't know
I don't know, yeah

Yes or no 빛이 잠든 밤 불이 꺼진 방
엉켜버린 너에 대한 생각이 풀리지 않아
도대체 뭘 탓해야 조금이나마 위로가 될까




깊었던 사랑이 죄일까
될 대로 되라지 huh 나도 날 잘 몰라
