네가 떠난 뒤에 닫았던 내 방 창을 오늘 열었지
어질러진 슬픔 치워 내 보내려 우후-
두눈 가득 베는 여름 빛 무작정 나는 차를 몰아
바람속에 섞인 너의 향길 지워 우후-
떠나가 어디든 (Drive in summer night)
지도엔 없는길을 따라(Leaving far away)
흙바람 불어 두 눈을 가려도 예-
다시 땀은 비오듯 추억되어 흐르지
오 땅끝마을 찾아가는 거야 이 긴 해가 지치도록
그곳에서 시작하는거야 날 위해 오호-
너 없는 삶도 아름답다는 걸 오 난 별 것 아닌 이별
너무 오래 슬퍼 했었다고 나 처음으로 돌아가 나를 사랑할거야
하늘빛의 차양 걸린 집 보이면 꿈같은 추억에 또 앉게 되면
창가엔 강바람이 잔뜩 쌓여 추억의 강바람만 가득한데
새빨간 거짓말처럼 사라진 널 믿지 못해
너 떠나 살 수 없는 나였기에 오-
새빨간 저 노을빛처럼 눈은 매일 붉어졌었지
끝난 추억에 나를 가둬야했어
오- 세상 끝에 서면 노래할래 다시 시작할거라고
해를 밀어 올린 바다 깊이 널 묻고 이제
나혼자로도 삶은 아름답지
오- 나 콧노래가 나와 처음으로 다시 오는 길엔
해 길은 여름 노을만 붉게 피어오를 뿐
오 땅끝마을 찾아가는 거야 이 긴 해가 지치도록
처음부터 시작하는거야 날 위해 오호-
너 없는 삶도 아름답다는 걸 오 난 별 것 아닌 이별
너무 오래 슬퍼했었다고 나 처음으로 돌아가 나를 사랑할거야
내 모든 것 다 잊고 나를 사랑할거야
One Summer Drive is a song by the South Korean singer Cool that talks about the pain of losing a loved one and trying to move on from that by embarking on a long drive alone. The singer talks about how he opened the window of his room that he had closed after the departure of his loved one to get rid of the sadness that had engulfed him. He then takes himself on a drive, ignoring the roads on the map and driving towards the sunset, hoping to erase the memories of his beloved. He feels shaken every time his car hits a bump and the memories of their past hit him hard. But he eventually decides to go to the end of the earth to start a new chapter in his life and forget about the past.
The lyrics convey a deep sense of loss and heartbreak, with the singer using a variety of poetic devices to express the pain he feels after the loss of his loved one. Words like 'ocean of tears,' 'red sunset,' and 'strong wind' evoke strong emotions in the listeners and help them connect to the singer's pain on a deeper level. The singer also uses imagery to convey the vividness of his memories and how he struggles to let go of them. He talks about sitting by the window, feeling the strong wind blowing and taking him back to the past, and how a red sunset takes him back to the moments he shared with his loved one.
