Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
하늘 위를 날고 있었어
닿을 수 없는 거리를 둔 채
그저 바라보다 깼어
기억나니 그땐 무서울 게 없이
하고 싶은 게 생겼을 땐
바로 움직이던 날들이 많았지
너와 보낸 그날들이 다
이젠 떠난
널 떠올리며 아파하기 보다
함께했었던 그날들을 다
추억하며 웃어 보려 해
단지 이거
하나만은 약속해 줬으면 해
더는 아프지 말고 웃으며
행복하게 지내 구름 위에서
자전거를 타고 멀리 가자던 날
얼마 못 가 고장이 나서
돌아가던 길 넌 하늘을 보며
저 새들이 부럽다 했지
기억나니 그땐 누가 뭐라 해도
그저 재미있어 보일 땐
바로 해 버리던 날들도 있었지
우린 그땐 참 즐거웠지
보낸 그날 그날들이 다
단지 이거
하나만은 약속해 줬으면 해
더는 아프지 말고 웃으며
행복하게 지내 구름 위에서
그 무엇보다도 더 빠르게
구름을 가르며 힘차게
날아 보렴 자유롭게
이젠 떠난
널 떠올리며 아파하기 보다
함께했었던 그날들을 다
추억하며 웃어 보려 해
단지 이거
하나만은 약속해 줬으면 해
더는 아프지 말고 웃으며
행복하게 지내 구름 위에서
The lyrics of DAY6's song "Above the Clouds" describe a dream where the singer sees someone flying above the sky. The person they see is out of their reach, and they wake up just by staring at them. This dream brings back memories of a time when they had no fear and felt like they could do anything they wanted. Those were the days when they were full of energy and enjoyed spending time with this person. But now that they are gone, instead of feeling pain while remembering them, the singer wants to remember the days they spent together and try to smile.
The lyrics also mention a day when the singer and this person planned to ride bicycles far away. However, they couldn't go far because of a bike malfunction. While returning, the person looks at the sky and expresses envy towards the birds flying. This memory reminds the singer of a time when they didn't care about what others said and would do whatever they found fun. They were truly happy during those days, reminiscing about each day they spent together.
In the song, the singer makes a simple request to this person who is no longer with them - to promise to be happy and not to feel pain anymore. They want them to smile and live happily above the clouds. The lyrics also encourage this person to fly faster than anything else, breaking through the clouds with strength and freedom.
Overall, "Above the Clouds" is a nostalgic and bittersweet reflection on past memories, cherishing the joyful moments spent together and wishing for the other person's happiness above the clouds.

어젯밤 꿈에 나타난 너는
Last night, you appeared in my dream
하늘 위를 날고 있었어
You were flying above the sky
닿을 수 없는 거리를 둔 채
With a distance that couldn't be reached
그저 바라보다 깼어
I woke up just by watching
기억나니 그땐 무서울 게 없이
Do you remember? Back then, without fear
하고 싶은 게 생겼을 땐
When we had things we wanted to do
바로 움직이던 날들이 많았지
There were many days we moved right away
우리 그땐 참 재밌었지
We were really having fun back then
너와 보낸 그날들이 다
Those days spent with you
이젠 떠난 널 떠올리며 아파하기 보다
Instead of hurting while thinking of you who left
함께했었던 그날들을 다
I want to remember those days we were together
추억하며 웃어 보려 해
I try to smile while reminiscing
단지 이거 하나만은 약속해 줬으면 해
I just hope you can promise me one thing
더는 아프지 말고 웃으며
Not to hurt anymore and to smile
행복하게 지내 구름 위에서
To live happily above the clouds
자전거를 타고 멀리 가자던 날
The day we planned to go far on a bicycle
얼마 못 가 고장이 나서
But the bike broke down after a short while
돌아가던 길 넌 하늘을 보며
On the way back, you looked at the sky
저 새들이 부럽다 했지
You said you were jealous of the birds up there
기억나니 그땐 누가 뭐라 해도
Do you remember? Back then, no matter what others said
그저 재미있어 보일 땐
When it just seemed fun
바로 해 버리던 날들도 있었지
There were also days when we just did it right away
우린 그땐 참 즐거웠지
We were really happy back then
보낸 그날 그날들이 다
Those days, one by one, that we spent together
그 무엇보다도 더 빠르게
More quickly than anything else
구름을 가르며 힘차게
Splitting through the clouds with strength
날아 보렴 자유롭게
Fly freely, look at us now
이젠 떠난 널 떠올리며 아파하기 보다
Instead of hurting while thinking of you who left
함께했었던 그날들을 다
I want to remember those days we were together
추억하며 웃어 보려 해
I try to smile while reminiscing
단지 이거 하나만은 약속해 줬으면 해
I just hope you can promise me one thing
더는 아프지 말고 웃으며
Not to hurt anymore and to smile
행복하게 지내 구름 위에서
To live happily above the clouds
