Hot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
널 만날 거야, 이런 날 이해해
어렵게 맘 정한 거라 네게 말할 거지만
사실 오늘 아침에 그냥 나 생각한 거야
햇살에 일어나 보니 너무나 눈부셔
모든 게 다 변한 거야, 널 향한 마음도
그렇지만 널 사랑 않는 게 아냐
너 몰래몰래, 몰래 다른 여자들과 비교, 비교했지
자꾸만 깨어지는 환상 속에 혼자서 울고 있는
초라하게 갇혀 버린 나를 보았어
널 떠날 거야 음, 널 떠날 거야, 음
하지만 아직까지 사랑하는걸
그래, 그렇지만 내 맘속에 너를 잊어갈 거야
머리 위로 비친 내 하늘 바라다보며
널 향한 마음을 이제는 굳혔지만
웬일인지 네게 더 다가갈수록
우린 같은 하늘 아래 서 있었지
"단지 널 사랑해" 이렇게 말했지
이제껏 준비했던 많은 말을 뒤로한 채
언제나 니 옆에 있을게
이렇게 약속을 하겠어 저 하늘을 바라다보며
(Hit me)
(내게 하늘이 열려 있어) 내게 하늘이 열려 있어
그래그래, 너는 내 앞에 서 있고
(그래그래, 너는 내 앞에 서 있고) 그래, 다른 연인들은 키스를 해
하지만 항상 나는 너의 뒤에 있어야만 해
(그래, 다른 연인들은 키스를 해) 이제 그만해 음, 나도 남잔데 음
내 마음 너도 알고 있는 걸 알아
그래, 이제 나도 지쳐서 하늘만 바라볼 수밖에 (왜 너의 뒤에 있어야 할까?)
햇살에 일어나 보니 너무나 눈부셔
모든 게 다 변한 거야 널 향한 마음도
그렇지만 널 사랑 않는 게 아냐
이제는 나를 변화시킬 테니까
머리 위로 비친 내 하늘 바라다보며
널 향한 마음을 이제는 굳혔지만
웬일인지 네게 더 다가갈수록
우린 같은 하늘 아래 서 있었지
"단지 널 사랑해" 이렇게 말했지
이제껏 준비했던 많은 말을 뒤로한 채
언제나 니 옆에 있을게
이렇게 약속을 하겠어, 저 하늘을 바라보며
한 번 더, 한 번 더 말했지
이제껏 준비했던 (이제껏 많은 말을 뒤로한 채)
많은 말을 뒤로한 채 (다시 널 사랑한다고 했지)
언제나 니 옆에 있을게
다신 너 혼자 아냐, 너의 곁엔 내가 있잖아

The lyrics of Hot Tuna's "Candyman" are simple and repetitive, but there is an ambiguous layer of meaning behind them. The phrase "candyman" is used throughout the song, but it is not clear who or what the candyman represents. The singer is nostalgically reminiscing about a time when the candyman was present, but he is no longer around. The chorus of the song emphasizes this sentiment with the repetition of the line "been here and gone." The phrase "salty dog" is also used, but it is not clear how it fits into the overall narrative.
One possible way to interpret the song is as a lament for a lost time and place. The singer wishes he could go back to New Orleans and sit on a candy stand, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. The mention of getting a baby some beer adds to this theme of indulgence and carefree living. The candyman could represent the innocence and joy of childhood that has been lost as the singer has grown up and moved on from that time and place. The use of repetition in the lyrics and melody gives the song a trance-like quality that adds to the sense of nostalgia and longing.
Overall, "Candyman" is a haunting and mysterious song that leaves the listener with more questions than answers. The simple lyrics and repetitive melody create a hypnotic atmosphere that draws the listener in and keeps them engaged.

저 시대를 살아본 사람들은 알거임.
사람들이 대체 왜 지금의 방탄보다 에쵸티가 더 대단하고 인기가 많았다고 하는지.
수치로 보면 해외에서도 그렇고 당연히 요즘 아이돌들이 셀테고
요즘 아이돌들 진짜 화려하고 멋지고 다 알겠는데
에쵸티는 그 존재만으로도 꽉 차있다 해야하나.
뭔가 저때는 그냥 차원이 달랐음.
아마 저시대 사람들은 뭔 말인지 알거임.
지금보다 덜 화려할지 몰라도 진짜 온 나라가 에쵸티에 반은 미쳐있었음 ㅋ
거의 종교였음.
그러니 그옛날 에쵸티 콘서트 본다고 아직도 10만명이나 모이는 거임.
