XI
Code Kunst Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love, love, love
Love is never like the movies I get it
막이 내리고 끝이 난 듯 but it never ends
거친 네 말투 네 더러운 침대, 마치
그리워 나 한 듯이 생각나

역한 담배 연기 같은 love
태연하게 내뱉는 네가 미웠어
Love is like a pack of cigarettes yeah, it kills me
But fuck that I need you right now (yeah yeah)

Bittersweet o love
Every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet o love
Every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet o love yea ay
We hurt, we love

Bittersweet o love
Every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet o love
Every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet o love yea ay
We hurt, we love

Love, mine, love, saying, love, mine, love

Callin' me a bitch, I said that I'm proud of it
They say you crazy 괜찮아 나만 이해하면 돼
착한 러브 스토리 I hate that 어차피
꺼져버릴 불씨 just puff on it

You're my hero, my cowboy, my John Wayne
Let's run like renegades yea 아무도 우릴 모르게
Love is a beauty 밤하늘 위에 fireworks
So kiss me good when it still shine away (yeah yeah)

Bittersweet o love
Every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet o love
Every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet o love yea ay
We hurt, we love

Bittersweet o love
Every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet o love
Every love is bittersweet
Bittersweet o love yea ay
We hurt, we love (love, love)

다들 나보고 뭐래도
손가락질해대도
우린 단단할 줄 알았어
다 아는데 늘 시작은 달콤했어

너는 날 믿을 줄 알았어
너는 조금 다를 줄 알았어




내 착각이 너무 깊었어
다 아는데 쓰게 남는 이 끝 맛 도
