Dreamcatcher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

두 눈을 감은 순간 검은 공간
나 홀로 남겨져 (I, I, I)
다시 눈을 떠도 꿈을 깨도
내 현실은 다르지 않아
커진 불처럼 불처럼 불처럼
쉽게 말처럼 말처럼 말처럼
안돼 맘처럼 맘처럼 맘처럼
Uh 그래 뭐 시간이 다 해결해 주겠지

끝도 없이 반복되는 지금
길을 잃어 헤매고 있지만
너에게 닿을 수 있다면

피리를 불어라

Overall Meaning

Dreamcatcher's PIRI is a Korean pop song that deals with the themes of being lost, seeking help, and eventually, finding hope. The verses repetitively mention a moment where the singer finds themselves abandoned in a dark space with no one to turn to. They acknowledge that they could be dreaming or awake, but the reality remains bleak regardless. The chorus encourages someone to blow a whistle to guide the singer towards safety as they feel lost in the repetition of their journey. The song is driven by a rhythmic upbeat tune and features a mix of traditional Korean instruments and contemporary pop beats.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Pil-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-ly" which mimics the sound of a whistle blast, which is quite fitting with the song being about blowing the whistle for help. The lyrics also compare the singer's feelings to that of a growing fire, suggesting the turmoil and pain inside them continue to intensify. The final verse paints a picture of a hazy, cloudy night where the singer wishes for someone to hold them and guide them through the confusion.


PIRI is also accompanied by a visually stunning music video that blends eastern and western motifs successfully to create a dreamy, surreal atmosphere. The video is set in a mystical forest with neon lights and foggy pools, which adds to the song's theme and elevates the overall visual appeal. Dreamcatcher's performance in the music video is energetic, intense, and impressive, showcasing their versatility and great talent.

@Sylvia-yp2dx

For new fans. Welcome to the Dreamworld!


Fandom name: InSomnia (meaning ‘In dreams’ in Latin)




Nightmare series:

1. Chase Me (Debut song + a lot of references to ‘Shining’)
2. Goodnight
3. Fly High (‘Shining’ references too)
4. You And I
5. What
6. Piri [Korean Flute]


Nightmare series alternate ending:

7. Breaking Out (Japanese)


Collaborations:

1. Déjà Vu (Game: King’s Raid)
2. R.o.S.E Blue (Game: Girl Café Gun)
3. Eclipse (Anime: King’s Raid + Japanese)


Dystopian trilogy:

1. SCREAM
2. BOCA [Boca means ‘mouth’ in Spanish & in Portuguese]
3. Odd Eye


Standalone Japanese comeback:

1. Endless Night (Endless Night was released during their SCREAM comeback)



Standalone comeback:

1. BEcause (the choreography and MV references the movie ‘Us’ and the music reference Fur Elise)


Apocalypse trilogy:

1. Maison (1st win! + Maison means ‘home/house’ in French)
2. Vision
3. Bon Voyage


Two-part series:

1. OOTD (ootd means ‘Outfit of the Day’ + this song is widely misunderstood by the fandom as it is about narcissism and not them being arrogant)

2. (Up-coming in a few months and hopefully it’s a full album)



Fan/Anniversary Songs:


1. Full Moon
2. Over the Sky (they incorporated sign-language in their choreography!)
3. I Miss You (I’m not sure about this one, because I don’t believe it was ever confirmed to be an anniversary song + it’s in Japanese)
4. Reason (my favourite anniversary song!)





The members names (from oldest to youngest):

1. JiU (Leader, Lead Vocalist, Lead Dancer)

2. SuA (Main Dancer, rapper, Lead Vocalist)

3. Siyeon (Main Vocalist & Face of the Group)

4. Handong (Vocalist & Dancer)

5. Yoohyeon (Lead Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Centre)

6. Dami (Main Rapper, Dancer, Sub-Vocalist)

7. Gahyeon (Lead Rapper, Vocalist, and the Maknae)


(Please read!)

These aren’t their official positions, but that’s because their official positions haven’t been updated since their time as MINX (that’s what Dreamcatcher was previously called before they re-debuted as ‘Dreamcatcher’)

Notes:

Handong was participating in a Chinese survival show “Youth with You” (but due to COVID, after she was eliminated, she was unable to come back to South Korea and resume activities with the other members of Dreamcatcher) so she was absent during SCREAM, Endless Night, & BOCA era, but she fortunately came back during Odd Eye


P.S

I have been an InSomnia for 4 years now! I’ve known them since ‘You And I’ was released, but I unfortunately only became a fan during SCREAM’s release.





Some B-Side recommendation!



1. In the Frozen (Psytrance/EDM)
2. Red Sun (has a special clip + the meaning behind ‘Red Sun’ in Korean is that it is a form of hypnosis + choreographed by the one and only SuA!!!)
3. Black or White (a tribute to Micheal Jackson + funk/rock fusion)
4. Whistle (EDM)
5. Starlight (Synthwave)
6. AllDaylong (Written and composed by JiU + Citypop)
7. Wind Blows (Title track contender + chants are amazing at concerts!)
8. Locked Inside a Door (SuA’s cusses in this but it’s censored lol)
9. Jazz Bar (it’s not as jazzy of a song but its really nice regardless)
10. Lullaby (one of my favourite ballads from them)
11. New Days (I believe Dami participated in writing and composing this)
12. Silent Night (this song is perfection please give it a listen!)
13. Daybreak (a criminally under-appreciated song, it’s so soft and sweet please give it some love!)
14. Shatter (special clip & I know it might not be everyone’s taste but I personally love it)
15. Tension (they have a English version of this song, unfortunately they never released that version of it)
16. Sleep-walking (special clip, omg this is the mother of Silent Night and In the Frozen lol)
17. Rising (Holy Cow, SuA’s high note let’s Go!!!!)
18. Polaris (one of my favourite rock ballads, please give it some love!!!)
19. Demian (lord have mercy on thy soul + special clip + choreographed by SuA!!!! Bestie is slayyyying)
20. Can’t Get You Out of My Mind (big title I know, and it’s their first full English track!)
21. Propose (most of the song is in English!!! + one of Dami’s best raps imo)
22. July 7th (based on the Chinese Legend where the star lovers ‘Altair’ and ‘Vega’ are usually separated, and only allowed to come together once a year! I find this adorable)
23. Trap (I love this song it’s so good)
24. Diamond (the instrumental is fireeeeee!!!!)
25. Break the Wall (you need to watch the showcase for this song because OMG!!!)
26. Sahara (arguably their most comical/entertaining special clip)



There’s so much more, so please go and check out their full discography! They are extremely versatile!






I have ADHD so this was hard to compile without me getting distracted, so I’d really appreciate it if you could comment down below your favourite song, and or any fun fact that you know and would like to share about Dreamcatcher!!!


Fun fact:

Handong doesn’t like her orange hair during their ‘What’ promotions. I personally think it looks stunning on her.



(Thank you for taking the time to read all of this! And for fellow InSomnia’s, if you believe that this information is inaccurate, please let me know so that I can make changes or add additional notes, I’d really appreciate it!)

@nerod.febrio7719

Sad Reality..... even K TV/Kshow The Biggest Platform to Promote Any Group still Ignoring or maybe even Rejecting Dreamcatcher.

And the K Kpop world Also Ignoring Girl Group doing Horror Concept as their Signature.

Girl Group X Rock Music(Rock wasn't popular on Kpop world)

SCREAM, BOCA, ODD EYE Lyrics that's Not like Ordinary kpop Lyrics(maybe kshow PD Team think that The Lyrics doesn't suit for Variety Show)

K Kpop world Only want to know/Support Big Company Group
Except for some Groups that Beat this One
