The Unknown Guest
DEAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
비가 오면 안됐어
그 노래를
난 또 틀고 말았어
내 귀에 흥얼거린
기분 좋은 멜로디
날 두드리는 그 기억을
난 못 이겨
그 눈을 보면 안 됐어
끝내 못 한
몇 마디를 머금은 채로
잠 드는 밤
(end)
(이 시간에는
비가 오면 안됐어
그 노래를
난 또 틀고 말았어
내 귀에 흥얼거린
기분 좋은 멜로디
날 두드리는 그 기억을
난 못 이겨
그 날 밤
그 눈을 보면 안 됐어
끝내 못 한
몇 마디를 머금은 채로
잠 드는 밤)
The Korean lyrics of Dean's song "The Unknown Guest" reveal a nostalgic and regretful story of a past lover. The song starts with the singer playing a familiar melody that brings back memories of a happy time with the former lover. However, as the rain begins to fall, the emotions also start pouring out, leading the singer to recall a particular night they should not have met. Despite knowing this, the singer finds it hard to resist the memories as a few lines of a song they could never finish remain stuck in their head.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and complexity regarding the past relationship. The "Unknown Guest" refers to the unknown factor of their future, and how it ended up being something they could not control. The melody symbolizes the happy memories, and it serves as a reminder that despite the pain, it is hard to let go of something that once made you happy.
In conclusion, Dean's "The Unknown Guest" is a heartfelt tribute to the past and the bittersweet memories that come with it. It's a reminder that some memories never leave you, no matter how far you try to move on.
