Ruin
Isaac Hong Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

한없이 저 어둠으로 날 몰아내
흐릿하게 지워진 표정까지 하찮게도 비웃지
(I don′t wanna leave you at all)
더 이상 (I don't wanna love you no more)
Go anywhere

Hey, it′s over
이제 더는 달아나려 하지 않아

Hey 벼랑에 날 떠미는
널 뒤집어 망칠 거야
몰아치는 긴장 속에 떨리는 숨마저
밀려드는 초라한 기억
I'm gonna let you ruin

욕망의 벽을 세운 넌
Wanna let you ruin
불쌍히 멀어진 나는
I'm gonna let you ruin

또 미안해 할 수밖에 날 경멸해
어둠을 더 드리워 혼자서만 불타올라 또 웃지
(I don′t wanna fall off no more)
더 이상 (I don′t wanna face you at all)
Go anywhere

Hey, it's over
이제 더는 달아나려 하지 않아
Hey 벼랑에 날 떠미는
널 뒤집어 망칠 거야
몰아치는 긴장 속에 떨리는 숨마저
밀려드는 초라한 기억
I′m gonna let you ruin

내게 손을 내밀어
너를 위한 가여운 react 딱한 motion
No, I don't need it anymore
Go anywhere

Hey, it′s over
이제 너는 고통의 끝에 부딪쳐
Hey 지옥에 날 떠미는
널 끝까지 당길 거야
냉정함에 굳어버린 심장을 두드려
짙어지는 남겨진 기억
I'm gonna let you ruin

불안에 몸부림치는
Wanna let you ruin

막다른 분노 속에 난
I′m gonna let you ruin
