OK
Dr. Knarf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

나를 향한 박수갈채가 없더라도
나는 괜찮아
나도 잘 될까?
잘 안 돼도 괜찮아
답안을 미리 않다고 과연 뭐가 바뀔까
음악이 나에 대해 있어서
과연 무엇일까
축복일까?
무덤을 파는 일일까?
사업일까?
취미일까?
본능을 따라가는 것일까?
게으름 타는 핑계일까?
어쩔 수 없이 하는 것일까?
이 고민을 하는 것 자체가 바보 같아
괜히 철학적이고 멋진 답을 찾을 거 같았나 봐

짐이 돼도 나는 업고 가
버리고 나만 가는 건 의미가 없으니까
몇 시간 자지 못한 채 또 돈 벌러가
먹여 살려야 하니까 힘들어도 괜찮아
코에서 또 피가 나더라도 괜찮아
나 매일 밤을 다 새는 건 아니니까
정규 22집까지 내 고난 그다음
알아서 작별 인사할 테니까

그니까
나를 향한 박수갈채가 없더라도
나는 괜찮아
나도 잘 될까?
잘 안 돼도 괜찮아
답안을 미리 않다고 과연 뭐가 바뀔까
숨을 쉰다 해서 나중에 잘 안된다는 것 마냥

그런 느낌이란 말이지 뭐
너무 진지 빨고 그렇게
받아들이지 마
좋은 결과들로 이뤄지면 좋겠지 뭐
안 좋아도 결과는 바뀌지 않아
얼마 전까지만 해도 가졌던 안 좋은 생각
완전히 엎어버렸지 마치 이곡의 원래 가사
요즘은 슬슬 기대라는 것도 하기 시작해
예를 들어 어느 날 코쿤이 갑자기 DM 답장해

모든 기대들이 안 이뤄져도
나는 괜찮아
적어도 기대할 때만큼은
너무 설렜으니까
실망이 두려워서라도
기대는 버리지 마
행복을 찾아서 나선 길가에서
나에게 박수 쳐주는 걸 잊지 마

설레발치지 말란 말은 반만 들으면 충분하지
김칫국도 반사 발만 큼은 상관없어
우린 아직은
뭘 해도 할 수 있다는 그런 나이
이 세상은 수도 없는 실망을 이겨낸 이들이 이끌고 가고 있을 거란 말이야
멋지잖아 그런 마음가짐 자체가
그니까 나도 그럴라고
우아하게 가

모든 기대들이 안 이뤄져도
나는 괜찮아
적어도 기대할 때만큼은
너무 설렜으니까
실망이 두려워서라도
기대는 버리지 마
행복을 찾아서 나선 길가에서
나에게 박수 쳐주는 걸 잊지 마

묻지 마 새로운 시작
어느덧 이렇게까지 흘러간 시간
아직까지
많이 바뀐 티는 나진 않지만
달라진 나의 전과의 차이를
분명히 나는 느꼈단 말이야
그래서 그런 거지 이젠




나를 향한 박수갈채가 없더라도
나는 괜찮아

Overall Meaning

In the song "OK" by Dr. Knarf, the lyrics reflect on the artist's internal struggles and emotions towards their own music career. The opening lines express the artist's determination to be okay, even if they don't receive applause or recognition. They question whether they will succeed or not, but reassure themselves that it's okay even if things don't go well.


The lyrics delve into the artist's contemplation about the purpose of music in their life. They question whether it is a blessing, a way to make a living, a hobby, or simply following their instincts. They acknowledge that they may be making excuses for their laziness or feeling compelled to continue their path regardless of the hardships they face. However, the artist acknowledges that pondering over these thoughts may seem foolish and a futile quest for philosophical and impressive answers.


Continuing on, the song speaks about carrying burdens and not giving up, even if it feels meaningless to go alone without anyone else's support. The artist mentions the struggle of constant work and sleep deprivation, but they push through because they have to provide for themselves and survive. They acknowledge that even if they bleed or sacrifice sleep, it's okay because they don't have to stay awake all night every day. The artist also hints at their determination to release their 22nd album before bidding farewell.


The chorus of the song reiterates that the artist will be okay, even if there is no applause directed towards them. They question if they will succeed but affirm that it's okay if they don't have the answers in advance. They compare the feeling to taking a breath, where just because you take a breath doesn't necessarily mean things will go well.


The lyrics then express the artist's refusal to take things too seriously or take things to heart. They advise against accepting too seriously the good results they hope for, as even if things don't turn out well, the outcome won't change. They mention overcoming negative thoughts that they had until recently and how they completely discarded them, just like rewriting the original lyrics of the song. At present, they find themselves slowly starting to have expectations and even giving an example of someone unexpectedly responding to their message.


The song emphasizes that the artist will be okay, even if all their expectations are not fulfilled. They encourage others not to give up on hope, even if disappointment is feared, and to remember to applaud themselves on the journey of finding happiness. The lyrics convey the message of maintaining a positive mindset, that even though things may not always go as expected, the artist believes they can accomplish anything at this age and that those who have triumphed over countless disappointments continue to lead the world.


In conclusion, "OK" by Dr. Knarf is a song that reflects on the artist's emotions and challenges in their music career. It emphasizes the importance of self-belief and not being discouraged by setbacks or unmet expectations. The artist encourages themselves and others to appreciate their own journey and not lose sight of seeking happiness. Despite the lack of applause, they reassure themselves that they will be okay.

I completely threw them away, just like the original lyrics of this song


요즘은 슬슬 기대라는 것도 하기 시작해
These days, I'm starting to have expectations too


예를 들어 어느 날 코쿤이 갑자기 DM 답장해
For example, one day Cocoon suddenly replies to my DM


모든 기대들이 안 이뤄져도
Even if all expectations are not met


나는 괜찮아
I'm okay


적어도 기대할 때만큼은
At least as much as I expected


너무 설렜으니까
Because I was so excited


실망이 두려워서라도
Even if I'm afraid of disappointment

행복을 찾아서 나선 길가에서
On the road to find happiness

설레발치지 말란 말은 반만 들으면 충분하지
When someone tells you not to get excited, you only need to listen to half


김칫국도 반사 발만 큼은 상관없어
Even if the kimchi soup splatters, it doesn't matter as long as it's only your foot


우린 아직은
We are still


뭘 해도 할 수 있다는 그런 나이
At an age where we can do anything


이 세상은 수도 없는 실망을 이겨낸 이들이 이끌고 가고 있을 거란 말이야
The people who have overcome countless disappointments are leading the world


멋지잖아 그런 마음가짐 자체가
Isn't it great, that mindset itself?


그니까 나도 그럴라고
So, I'll be like that too


우아하게 가
Go gracefully


모든 기대들이 안 이뤄져도
Even if all expectations are not met


나는 괜찮아
I'm okay


적어도 기대할 때만큼은
At least as much as I expected


너무 설렜으니까

Don't ask, it's a new beginning


어느덧 이렇게까지 흘러간 시간
Before you know it, time has passed like this


아직까지
Until now


많이 바뀐 티는 나진 않지만
I may not show that much change


달라진 나의 전과의 차이를
The difference in me from before


분명히 나는 느꼈단 말이야
I definitely felt it


그래서 그런 거지 이젠
So that's why, now


나를 향한 박수갈채가 없더라도
Even if there's no applause for me


나는 괜찮아
I'm okay
