Strange
Chung Jin Woo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
아무런 감흥도 생기질 않았어
예쁘지도 않은데 커피처럼
자꾸 생각이 나
놀랬어 요즘 들어 너 웃는 게
왜이리 좋은지 네 모든 움직임
덩그러니 1 남은 카톡처럼
자꾸 신경 쓰여
나를 놀리더니 내 맘을 고장 냈니
그만해 그만해 너 자꾸 예쁘잖아
자꾸 귀엽잖아 왜 날 흔드니
맘상해 맘상해 또 너만 기다리고
너만 신경 쓰다 하루가 가네
무서워 무서워 나 너만 생각하고
너만 바라보는 바보가 된 거니
호르몬의 고장인가 사랑 따위
식을 게 뻔한 걸 알면서 빤히
쳐다보는 눈빛에
생각할 새 없이 스며들어
이상해 이상해 너 나를 웃기더니
나를 놀리더니 내 맘을 고장 냈니
그만해 그만해 너 자꾸 예쁘잖아
자꾸 귀엽잖아 왜 날 흔드니
맘상해 맘상해 또 너만 기다리고
너만 신경 쓰다 하루가 가네
무서워 무서워 나 너만 생각하고
너만 바라보는 바보가 된 거니
화장 안 한 네 얼굴이
이쁘고 이쁘고 이뻐서
다른 시선 용서 못한 내가 놀라워
사랑해 사랑해 나 네게 이 말 하니
내가 신기하니 maybe 토라지니
그만해 그만해 너 이뻐 죽겠잖아
좋아 죽겠잖아 왜 또 삐지니
맘상해 맘상해 또 너만 기다리고
너만 신경 쓰다 하루가 가네
무서워 무서워 나 너만 생각하고
너만 바라보는 바보가 된 거니
In this song Strange by Chung Jin Woo, the artist describes a relationship where he initially didn't feel anything for the girl he met for the first time. He describes her as not being pretty, but just like coffee, he couldn't stop thinking about her. Recently, he's been surprised by her smiling a lot and her overall movements, and he can't help but think about her. He's confused about his feelings towards her and doesn't quite understand why he's so drawn to her. He perceives his own emotions as strange and can't make sense of them. He becomes fearful that he's become someone who only thinks about her and looks at her with a special, admiring gaze. He questions whether it's just his hormones, the result of a malfunction, or if it's really love.
The song conveys the frustration and confusion that can come with developing feelings for someone; the feeling of being drawn to someone that doesn't necessarily match the ideal image in our heads. The song also emphasizes the idea of being vulnerable in a relationship, a feeling that is amplified when we don't fully understand ourselves, our emotions and the feelings of the other person. The chorus repeats this idea of being conflicted and emphasizes the struggle of trying to understand why you're so drawn to someone when, on the surface of things, there may be no clear reason.
