Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
항상 조심조심 네가 눈치 못 채게
말하지 않아도 시작된 둘의 데이트
둘만의 데이트
넌 어딜 가니 한 발 또 한 발
난 너를 따라가
아무 말도 없이 날 이끌어
숨을 곳도 없는데
해가 뜨고 나면
발을 맞춰가며 또 함께 걸어가
난 많이 많이 또 빠져들고 있어
달이 뜨고 나면
넌 내 품 안에서 또 잠이 들어가
난 많이 많이 또 좋아하고 있어
하루하루 우린 점점 닮아가는 걸
너의 웃음 눈물 나는 모두 아는 걸
겁 먹지마 우린 태양이 맺은 인연
함께일 운명
넌 어딜 가니 한 발 또 한 발
난 너를 따라가
아무 말도 없이 날 이끌어
한 발 또 한 발 (또) 날
알아채줄래 숨고 싶지가 않아
해가 뜨고 나면
발을 맞춰가며 또 함께 걸어가
난 많이 많이 또 빠져들고 있어
달이 뜨고 나면
넌 내 품 안에서 또 잠이 들어가
난 많이 많이 또 좋아하고 있어
거울 속 그 앤
너와 함께 웃고 있어 난 몰라
네 발 밑 속 나는
아무 표정 없이 뒤로 숨는걸
거울 속 그 앤 반짝 또 반짝 또
널 닮은 미소가 너무 부러워질수록
난 더 바짝 더 바짝 더
너에게 꼭 붙어 우린 연결됐는데
해가 뜨고 나면
발을 맞춰가며 또 함께 걸어가
난 많이 많이 또 빠져들고 있어
달이 뜨고 나면
넌 내 품 안에서 또 잠이 들어가
난 많이 많이 또 좋아하고 있어
해가 뜨고 나면
발을 맞춰가며 또 함께 걸어가
난 많이 많이 또 빠져들고 있어
달이 뜨고 나면
넌 내 품 안에서 또 잠이 들어가
난 많이 많이 또 좋아하고 있어

@@1passingby1 "yes, so you just answered yourself there"
Answered what? I never asked a question.
"Warner has a problem thus reactors don't want to risk it"
Nope. You're assuming the thoughts of other people. My comment was that people who suggest FT Island songs always suggest the same three (Pray, Take Me Now, Wind) and that's because that's all they know of them. You suggested that they are not suggesting their Japanese on purpose which is nonsense because I already told you that there are ways around that already that reactors do all the time to get their videos up. And I repeat, I know this because I requested several people react to this song Shadows and the ones that did react to it got their videos up in one of the two methods I already mentioned.
"One reactor who did a lot of FT had his account suspended due to reacting to FT Japanese videos, and he DID pause in between to talk"
Prove it.
@leesungji7675
They keep getting better and better, but at the same time they keep getting less popular. I think this song is saying that even if they aren't popular "nameless shadows" they'll carry on (they'll keep making good music). I really admire their passion. FT Island is one of a kind. 오빠들 화이팅!!!
