Lunch Time
Dasutt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

난 아침부터
책상에 앉아서
재미도 없는 걸
배우고 있잖아

밖에 나가서
뛰놀고 싶은데
10분 채 안 돼도

난 움직일 거야

사실

뭘 위해 이러는지
이유도 모르는 채
맘들을 삼켜가며
우리는 왜 이러는지

번쩍번쩍 정신이 들어
이 시간을 놓치면 안 돼
난 새치기라도 해야 돼 난
뛰기 싫어도 난 뛰어야 해

번쩍번쩍 정신이 들어
이 순간을 놓치면 안 돼
난 하기 싫어도 해야 해 난
정해진 시간에 살아야 해

난 내일부터
일을 관둘 거야
라고 생각해도
하지 못하잖아

친구들은 또
잘 해나가는데
나는 왜 이리도
꼬이기만 하지

사실

뭘 위해 이러는지
이유도 모르는 채
맘들을 삼켜가며
우리는 왜 이러는지

번쩍번쩍 정신이 들어
이 시간을 놓치면 안 돼
난 새치기라도 해야 돼 난
뛰기 싫어도 난 뛰어야 해

번쩍번쩍 정신이 들어
이 순간을 놓치면 안 돼

난 하기 싫어도 해야 해 난
정해진 시간에 살아야 해

Overall Meaning

The song "Lunch Time" by Dasutt portrays the struggles of sticking to the mundane routine of school or work, even when the heart yearns to go out and play. The lyrics start with the singer sitting at their desk since morning, trying to learn something unexciting. They express their desire to go out and play but are bound by the limited time left for their break. They do not know why they are doing what they are, but they swallow their feelings and go along with it.

As the chorus comes in, the singer realizes the importance of not wasting this time and decides to make the most of it, even if it means cutting corners or doing something they do not want to, as they do not want to miss out on this opportunity. In the second verse, the singer expresses their frustration of not being able to quit work or school, even though they want to. They feel like they are the only ones struggling while their friends seem to be doing well. The chorus repeats, once again emphasizing the importance of making the most of this moment and sticking to the scheduled time.

Overall, the song portrays the struggle of doing something that we might not want to but must and tries to encourage us to make the most of those moments.
