3.6.5
EXO-K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
여섯 번쯤 울지라도
다섯 번 더 이겨 내면
끝이 보이기 시작해
조급하게 달릴수록
중요한 걸 놓칠 뿐야
네게 좀 더 시간을 줘
숨을 고를 수 있게 해
늘 같은 곳에서
떠오는 태양처럼
3.6.5 난 매일 아침
잠든 널 깨우며 하룰 시작해
3.6.5 일분일초의
틈도 없을 만큼 함께할 거야
Woah oh oh oh woah oh oh
3.6.5 니 손을 잡고
Woah oh oh oh woah oh oh
3.6.5 놓지 않을게
소리 내어 세 번 웃고
여섯 곡의 노랠 들어
다섯 시간 자고 나면
다 별거 아닌 게 될 거야
난 너를 지키는 저 빛의 기사처럼
3.6.5 너의 앞에서
오직 널 이유로 검을 휘둘러
3.6.5 마치 널 위해
태어난 것 같은 매일을 살게
Woah oh oh oh woah oh oh
3.6.5 어떤 아픔도
Woah oh oh oh woah oh oh
3.6.5 널 비껴가게
널 시험할 운명들이
눈물을 부를 때
언제라도 난 기적처럼
니 앞에 나타날게
3.6.5 너의 뒤에서
절대 너를 위한 매일을 살게
3.6.5 마치 널 위해
태어난 것 같은 하룰 채우며
Woah oh oh oh woah oh oh
3.6.5 어떤 아픔도
Woah oh oh oh woah oh oh
3.6.5 널 비껴가게
3.6.5 너를 지킬게

I just want to share some story of mine..
I was sleeping and dreaming that i went to exo concert. I still remember this song 3.6.5 appear in my dream and im jamming to it. But sadly its such a quick dream and i woke up feeling sad bcs i thought it was real. It felt so real :') then i searched up the lyrics and I cried. The lyrics told me to hold on and not give up. Im begin to believe that i will meet exo like yes i will. :')
Finally i met exo during elyxion. I admit its so hard like everything was so hard. I still can't believe that i met exo and i still remember when im inside the concert venue. Im so nervous like hell and my body quite trembling 😂 exols was ready with eribong and singing tgt while waiting the elyxion to start. This is so beautiful to hear it live bcs i always watch on yt only. Eribong ocean was so pretty :')
Then the light turns off. EVERYONE WENT CRAZY.
after some elyxion clips
EXO APPEAR with the lights behind them and istg i cried :') and kept questioning myself is that EXO? Exo? I PROUDLY SCREAMED FOR THEM AND REALISE HOW MUCH I LOVE THE BOYS.
