Before I Go
J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

온 세상이 온통 하얗게
소리 없이 흩날리는 계절에
항상 떠오르는 사람
어디선가 너도 나처럼
같이 듣던 노래가 생각나면
내가 그립다면 돌아와도 돼

벚꽃이 피는 이 계절에 떠오르는 한 사람
한 없이 따뜻했던 그 사람
그리움이 커질수록 미워했던 그 사람
미워도 다시 보고 싶은 사람
단 하나의 사랑

같이 걷던 거리에
같이 듣던 노래가 내 귀에 걸리면
문득 너를 생각해

온 세상이 온통 하얗게
소리 없이 흩날리는 계절에
항상 떠오르는 사람
어디선가 너도 나처럼
같이 듣던 노래가 생각나면
내가 그립다면 돌아와도 돼

봄바람 가득한 햇살보다 눈 부셨던 한 사람
한 없이 안아주던 그 사람
모든 걸 다 내게 줘도 미안해하던 사람
하루도 잊지 못할 나의 하나의 사랑

바람결에 날리는 새하얀 벚꽃처럼
쏟아지는 추억 아득한 너를 생각해

온 세상이 온통 하얗게
소리 없이 흩날리는 계절에
항상 떠오르는 사람
어디선가 너도 나처럼
같이 듣던 노래가 생각나면
내가 그립다면 돌아와도 돼

봄비 내리던 그날의 밤
멀어지던 너
잡을 수 없었던 그 사람

온 세상이 온통 하얗게
소리 없이 흩날리는 계절에
항상 떠오르는 사람
어디선가 너도 나처럼
같이 듣던 노래가 생각나면




그립다면 내게 돌아와 줘
항상 널 기다릴게

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of John Hiatt's song "Before I Go" evoke a sense of awakening to the world around him. Hiatt uses imagery of the morning and flowers to signify new beginnings, as he sees his lover next to him like the sunlight whispering in his ears. He then shifts to another image in the following stanza, showing a red tail hawk shooting down the canyon, hinting at the possibility of a journey. But this journey doesn't seem to be a lonely one, as Hiatt wants his lover to be his true companion, promising loyalty to her even when they reach the other side.


The chorus seems to be an affirmation of his journey, even though he knows he will stumble at times; he believes he will fly, as his lover told him so. Even though he may come across obstacles and challenges (schemes have come unraveled), he realizes that his lover is all he needs on this journey.


Towards the end of the song, Hiatt uses imagery of ghosts on the trees and wires who are questioning and showing signs. These ghosts are metaphors for the ghosts in his past who are trying to haunt him, but he chooses to focus on reality and truth, and "lights fires all down the line." The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the many miles he has before he goes - miles that could be difficult and challenging but with his lover at his side, he believes he will be able to navigate through them.


Overall, "Before I Go" is a song about starting anew and embarking on a journey into the unknown. It's about facing the future head-on, with all the obstacles and difficulties it may bring, but also knowing that there will be someone by your side to help you through it all.


Line by Line Meaning

I've been sleeping for some hours
I was idle and unaware for some time


Just woke up and you were there
Suddenly I regained consciousness and you were present


Like the morning, like the flowers
You appeared like the dawn and fresh blossoms


Sunlight whispering in my ears
I felt comforted and energized by the morning sun


Red tail hawk shooting down the canyon
A majestic bird descending through the valley


Put me on that wind he rides
Allow me to join the bird and soar on the same gust of wind


I will be your true companion
I vow to be your loyal and devoted friend


When we reach the other side
Once we arrive at our destination or purpose


I will try, I will stumble
I will make an effort, but I may falter


But I will fly, he told me so
But the bird assured me that I can also soar


Proud and high or low and humble
Whether I am confident or modest in spirit


Many miles before I go
I have a long journey ahead


Can't decide which way to travel
I am unsure of which direction to take


On the ground or in the sky
Whether to remain earthbound or take flight


All my schemes have come unraveled
All of my plans have fallen apart


All that's left is you and I
All that remains is our connection


Ghosts on the trees, there's
Apparitions haunting the branches of the trees


Ghosts on the wires
Spirits lingering on the utility poles and cables


Asking questions and showing signs
Posing inquiries and indicating clues


Shivering with truth, they're lighting fires
Trembling with veracity, they are igniting passions and action


Here I go
I am embarking on this journey
